About St John International 

St John International connects and supports 44 St John Establishments around the world — a global family committed to saving lives and building resilient communities through first aid, healthcare, and humanitarian support. 

We are entering an exciting new chapter: developing our fundraising arm, expanding into new audiences, and working more closely than ever to tell our shared story as one global movement. It’s a moment of transformation and opportunity — and we’re looking for someone who can help us share that story with the world. 

About the Role 

We are looking for a Social Media and Engagement Officer with a genuine passion for conversation, connection, and community. This is not a broadcasting role — it’s about dialogue. You’ll be the voice of St John International across our social media channels, engaging with audiences in real time, responding thoughtfully to emerging conversations, and finding opportunities to amplify our work and our people. 

You’ll help us grow beyond our traditional audiences, reaching new spaces and communities, and positioning St John International as a global leader in first aid and humanitarian service. You’ll work closely with the Communications Team to bring our quarterly communications strategies to life and ensure every post, comment, and interaction reflects our shared purpose and values. 

The role reports to the Director of Communications and works closely with colleagues in the Fundraising Team and our network of international communicators across 44 St John Establishments. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Act as the first point of contact for St John International’s social media communities, responding to comments, messages, and discussions in a timely, engaging, and brand-aligned way. 

• Serve as a guardian of our brand voice — confident, compassionate, and inclusive — ensuring all communications reflect our global values. 

• Identify and nurture opportunities for meaningful engagement across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and emerging platforms. 

• Collaborate with the Communications Team to plan and execute content that supports quarterly communications strategies. 

• Monitor conversations about St John and related sectors, identifying trends, opportunities for thought leadership, and potential risks. 

• Support and elevate St John’s network of expert speakers, identifying new digital and offline platforms to showcase their expertise with broader audiences. 

• Work closely with colleagues across Establishments to gather stories, visuals, and insights that highlight our global impact. 

• Ensure all content and engagement reflect an understanding of cultural diversity, political sensitivity, and our international context. 

• Use social media analytics tools to monitor performance, report on engagement growth and sentiment, and provide insights to inform future strategy. 

• Occasionally attend events or workshops (in the UK or abroad) to capture stories and build relationships with partners. 

About You 

• You’re a natural communicator who thrives on genuine interaction and knows how to build rapport online. 

• You have a strong grasp of brand voice and can adapt tone and messaging to suit different audiences and contexts. 

• You’re curious and empathetic — able to navigate complex or conflicting information and find clarity in nuance. 

• You’re globally minded, culturally sensitive, and politically aware, with a good understanding of how narratives play differently across international regions. 

• You have demonstrable experience managing social media channels for an organisation, ideally with an international, humanitarian, or non-profit focus. 

• You’re proactive and creative, with an eye for storytelling and a commitment to continuous improvement. 

• You can confidently use analytics tools to measure and interpret social media performance. 

• Experience with tools such as Meta Business Suite, MailChimp, or similar is desirable. 

• Familiarity with Canva or Adobe Creative Suite would be an advantage but is not essential. 

• As our platforms develop, we’d love for you to be confident in short-form video editing. This would include turning raw footage from our St John Establishments or events into usable content for Reels, Shorts and LinkedIn videos. On the job training for this can be provided if needed.

What We Offer 

• A collaborative, values-driven environment within a global organisation making a real difference. 

• The chance to shape and elevate St John International’s voice as we grow our global profile. 

• Hybrid working arrangements, with at least two days of your week in our Farringdon office. 

• Professional development opportunities and access to a global network of communicators. 

• The opportunity to see your work directly contribute to life-saving impact around the world.

About The Baby Bank Alliance

The Baby Bank Alliance (BBA) supports and advocates for a community of over 400 UK baby banks, working to ensure babies and children have the essentials they need to thrive.

Founded by Save the Children, Purposeful Ventures, Little Village and Bristol Baby Bank Network. BBA is currently co-incubated  by Save the Children UK and Purposeful Ventures, who provide expertise, capacity and resource. This role will be employed through Purposeful Ventures, and home working options are available.

It is an exciting moment in BBA’s development as we grow our profile, strengthen the UK’s baby bank network and build towards independence as a charity.

The Baby Bank Alliance exists to:

• Increase access to funds and goods through national partnerships and economies of scale, unlocking donations otherwise unavailable to baby banks.
• Grow a strong baby bank community, providing connection, tailored training and peer support.
• Boost the national profile of baby banks, increasing public awareness and understanding in order to drive support and change.
• Amplify the voices of baby banks to become a trusted collective voice on baby banks and child poverty.
• Build a resilient, well-governed organisation capable of long-term positive impact.

About the Senior Communications Lead

The Senior Communications Lead is a senior, hands-on leadership role, reporting to the Executive Lead, and responsible for shaping and delivering BBA’s cross-channel communications strategy. Working closely with the Executive Lead and team, you will drive increased awareness and understanding of baby banks, ensuring communications actively enable BBA’s wider goals around funding, partnerships and sector influence. 

Average UK awareness of baby banks currently sits at around 33%. Building on successful national partnerships (including IKEA and ITV’s Lorraine), this role will take BBA’s profile to the next level, embedding baby bank experiences and voices at the heart of everything we do. 

As a co-incubated organisation, developed with and for baby banks, strong experience of effective collaboration and understanding of the issues that baby banks are addressing, and facing themselves, is fundamental. 

You will oversee all communications activity across BBA, line manage the Communications Manager and task manage the Communications and Projects Officer, and build a small but high-impact communications function from the ground up within a resource-constrained, fast-moving organisation. Collaborating with teams at BBA’s incubating partners, Save the Children and Purposeful Ventures, will be key.
