Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.

Acceptable use of AI:

At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words.

This makes it difficult to gain understanding of your unique experience.

To best showcase yourself, we encourage you to write your responses without the assistance of AI. If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting. You must also ensure the information presented in your application accurately reflects your experience.

Closing date: 27th April 2026 - Early applications are encouraged as the role may close early if filled.

Interview date(s): Interviews will take place on a rolling basis.

Join our Marketing & Communications team and help churches reveal Jesus to the next generation. We’re growing – and we’re looking to fill two exciting roles to help build on the progress already under way and take our impact up a gear. Both roles sit right at the heart of how Scripture Union communicates: sharing stories of impact, creating connection and helping more people engage, pray and take their next step with us. If you enjoy producing great work and making it matter, you’ll love the mix – strengthening the relationships we already have, while helping us connect with new audiences across England and Wales

About Scripture Union

Scripture Union is a national mission-movement, helping churches reveal Jesus to the next generation. We equip churches to reach children and young people – especially those outside the church – wherever they are, and in ways that truly connect. Because every young person should have the opportunity to discover Jesus, and too many never will. Through Bible-based resources, practical training and our Revealing Jesus mission framework, we help churches build relationships that lead to faith. Our team of Mission Enablers supports a growing network of Faith Guides – local people, rooted in their communities, revealing Jesus in everyday life.

About the roles
These two roles are all about helping Scripture Union communicate with clarity, creativity and purpose. One focuses on shaping our digital content and website experience (a big opportunity as we seek to overhaul our web presence); the other brings our story to life through events and communications that helps people connect with what God is doing through SU. If you like work that’s practical, people-focused and makes a real difference, you’ll feel right at home.
