As our new comms manager you'll flex your skills across all our projects, from solar railways to community tree planting projects.

You’ll combine a love of data with a creative flair, building the sorts of eye-catching, inspiring digital content which soars.

You’ll take a lead in strategies for increasing the digital reach of our work and support others to deepen our supporters' commitment to the cause.

You’ll also work closely with colleagues in press, PR, design, campaigns and fundraising, though you won’t have overall responsibility for these areas.

You’ll oversee our digital communications infrastructure, including our website, supporter database and social media accounts, ensuring everything runs smoothly, legally and looks shipshape.

You’d be expected to manage and research basic technical problems, deferring to specialist developers where needed.

It’s also your responsibility to ensure our digital communications systems adhere to privacy laws and accessibility needs.

You’ll take a proactive approach to increasing and diversifying our audiences, finding new ways to talk about climate change with new people.

You’ll have a chance to work across all our campaigns - from community hedge planting to installing heat pumps in urban parks - offering you opportunities to engage with a lot of different people, in a range of ways.

You’ll play a leading role in the communications team, but also work closely with fundraisers and campaigners. You should be a keen storyteller as well as a bit of a spreadsheets nerd.

Our work can have highly technical roots in engineering, policy or environmental and social sciences, and you’ll be challenged to turn it into something inspiring and engaging for non-specialist audiences.

You’ll also ensure we measure and evaluate our digital communications outputs, using this data to guide strategy and challenge assumptions where necessary.

Reflecting Possible’s culture of collaboration, you’ll be invited to contribute to fundraising, campaign and organisational strategy.

As a member of the management team you’ll help us run the organisation and play a key role in the leadership of the communications team.

With others in the communications team, you’ll also take a turn in running our social media channels and occasional weekend comms cover.

And everyone at Possible chips in to make the tea, take out the bins and do the washing up (or the virtual equivalents), so there’s that too.

Possible is committed to providing equal opportunities for all applicants regardless of their background. We value diversity whilst also acknowledging that people from certain backgrounds are underrepresented in our organisation.

Are you an experienced media, campaigns and digital specialist with vision and flair? Have you got the skills to lead our advocacy against indefinite detention in immigration removal centres and to press for wider reform of the UK asylum and immigration system? Then we want to hear from you!

We’re looking for a Communications & Campaigns Manager to build on a number of significant successes over the past two years in the face of an increasingly hostile Government.

There are three main strands to Detention Action’s work supporting people in detention. Firstly, the core of Detention Action’s work has always been to provide emotional and practical support to people detained through one-to-one visits. Secondly, Detention Action provides casework and emotional support to people in detention from the office, accessible through a freephone service. 

Thirdly, Detention Action provides holistic and accessible advice and support on-site in the detention centre by holding regular advice workshops, which allow people in detention to develop trust relationships with Detention Action through face-to-face contact and ongoing work on their diverse needs. 

We also also campaigns for reform to immigration detention policy and practice, drawing on evidence obtained from our frontline work, and run an alternatives to detention project for people who have had criminal convictions and who are  experiencing or at risk of indefinite detention.

We campaigned for an end to the Detained Fast Track asylum process, successfully bringing a strategic legal challenge which led to the suspension of the process in 2015 and we continue to campaign against its re-introduction.  In 2020, we have brought several prominent legal challenges, preventing the removal of those due to be deported on a charter flight to Jamaica in February, and pressurized the Government into releasing the majority of people detained during the COVID-19 pandemic.
