BACKGROUND

Young people today are up against a flood of unhealthy food, pouring out of our highstreets, supermarkets and school canteens. As a result processed foods, snacks, soft drinks and takeaways, are playing too big a role in their lives.  Junk food is cheap and easy to access at a time when 3.3m young people under the age of 18 have overweight or obesity. Rates among our poorest are double those of our wealthiest young people.

Covid-19 has only further served to highlight the injustices in the food system and sharpen the focus on the impact obesity has on health outcomes.  There is a political moment now to accelerate change.

We believe young people are the key voice in driving this change in our food system.  It is a really exciting time to join the organisation - we are still a start-up but with ambitious plans for growth and impact.

The Communications Manager will be critical to creating and delivering comms to a broad range of stakeholders. You will be a key influence over the Bite Back brand and will provide editorial and creative support across the whole team.  Key responsibilities include:

• Content creation including blogs, the weekly newsletter and collateral for events. 

• Events support, including planning and delivery

• Provision of editorial support across the team, including our youth leaders.

• First port of call for press enquiries

• Drafting of press releases, comments and briefing documents

• Monitoring media coverage and generating insight

• Excellent writing skills.

• Previous experience of engaging media and managing enquiries and responses.
