UVW is a member-led, direct action, anti-racist, campaigning trade union and we exist to support and empower the most vulnerable groups of precarious, low-paid and migrant workers in the UK.

The Campaign Communications team plays a critical role in shaping our public profile, supporting workers to organise, holding bosses to account, mobilising support, and using digital platforms to tell the stories that matter most.

What You’ll Do

As a Campaign Communicator, you will:

• Develop & deliver campaign communications to support organising drives, strikes and campaigns.
• Support creative development: produce accessible visuals and champion our visual identity.
• Manage digital engagement: post content across social media, our website and monitor analytics to measure and improve reach.
• Create compelling content – videos, audio, images, and written stories – with a “workers’ stories first” approach.
• Supporting media relations:  liaise with journalists, provide quotes, and package content to highlight campaigns.
• Build internal communications capacity: train members and staff in communications initiatives and identify opportunities to improve UVW’s digital presence.
• Monitor and respond to communications gaps, proactively proposing new ideas to strengthen campaign impact.

Desirable Skills

• Knowledge of Spanish or other languages.

Why Work with UVW?

This is a campaign communicator’s dream role – a chance to work directly with workers and help tell their stories. You’ll use every format – video, audio, written content – to engage and mobilise supporters, turning research and members’ insights into winning campaigns that amplify workers’ voices, denounce bad bosses and build solidarity across the UK and beyond.

Bring your creativity, digital expertise, and passion for justice to UVW. Help us tell the stories that matter, engage supporters, bring bosses to heel, and fight for dignity, equality, and respect.

We are looking for a proactive and people-focused Events and Fundraising Coordinator to support the delivery of our fundraising activity, events and supporter engagement programme. 

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining relationship-building, organisation and delivery, and who wants to play a hands-on role in creating positive supporter experiences. You will support individual giving, community and challenge fundraising, and a programme of events that recognise and celebrate our supporters and pro bono partners.

 What the job involves
You’ll be joining the Gift Aid, Compliance and Fulfilment Team within Customer Engagement and Experience.

You’ll also have experience of working in a customer-focused environment.

If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to hear from you!

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.

 We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

About Julie’s Bicycle (JB)

JB is a leading non-profit putting climate action at the heart of culture. We believe that creativity is a powerful catalyst for change — and that the arts and cultural sector has a vital role to play in building a just, regenerative future.

For over 15 years, we’ve worked with artists, cultural institutions, funders, and policymakers to mobilise creative climate leadership and action through advocacy, research, policy influence, training, path-finding projects and community building. We champion climate justice, centre equity, and believe that environmental solutions must be driven by cultural shifts as well as systems change. For more information on all our programmes, please visit our website.

The Role

We’re seeking a visionary and collaborative Communications Lead to lead the next phase of our communications strategy. This role is about more than messaging — it’s about shaping a compelling and inspiring public voice for creative climate action.

You will be responsible for our brand, storytelling, content strategy, and creative outputs—ensuring that everything we do reflects our values, amplifies our impact, and deepens our reach across the cultural and climate landscape. You’ll also play a key role in supporting our impact including welcoming new cultural organisations, creative practitioners, environmental partners, and funders into our network.

This is a digital-first communications role, with a strong focus on content development, storytelling, and designing varied communication campaigns. You’ll oversee our editorial voice across blogs, email, social media, and digital content. Alongside our Marketing Lead, you will ensure our insights, tools, and narratives are warm, purpose-focused, clear, accessible, and optimised for reach and engagement. You will be someone who thrives on the combination of ambitious strategic thinking and delivering content and projects on the ground.

You will collaborate with partner organisations to co-create communications, support joint campaigns, and ensure our voice is visible and aligned in the broader climate and culture movement. And while press/media remains part of the role, your primary focus will be digital content, brand positioning, and reaching new audiences.

You will be part of a small Marketing and Communications team and work closely with the rest of JB’s 20-person, supportive and mission-driven team.

We encourage people from any background to apply for this post. We are committed to creating a workforce which is representative of our society, and to bringing together those with a variety of skills and experiences to help shape what we do and how we work.

We are committed to being an Equal Opportunities Employer; we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, gender, disability, culture, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.

Please note, this post is open to people who already have the right to live and work in the UK, as Julie’s Bicycle is not currently in a position to sponsor a work visa.

A note on AI

While we understand that some people may use AI tools for accessibility (and recognise and support that many assistive technologies may use elements of AI), we ask candidates to consider what tools are most appropriate during the application process. For example, we recognise the value for many people of machine learning language tools like Grammarly. On the other hand we would discourage the use of generative AI tools in writing your application, as we'd like to understand your personal interest in working for Julie's Bicycle, and be able to understand your non-AI-assisted communication skills just as they are. We also recognise that for many of the people and creative communities we work with, the rise of generative AI poses a threat to their livelihoods, while the environmental impacts of AI are only set to grow: this means we also have a responsibility as Julie's Bicycle to consider where and when (and if) we use AI in our work. 

Thank you for your interest in working at Julie’s Bicycle.
