We are looking for a talented and committed individual who is able to co-ordinate all of our external communications and contribute to our fundraising work.  High Trees have been through a rebranding exercise which is shortly due to launch, which has not only created a new website and template of communications tools but also clarified our vision, mission and values.  The successful candidate will play a key role in growing the profile and reach of the organisation, ensuring our messages reach our key audiences and is utilised to effectively improve our fundraising efforts across all of our service areas.
