We are an expanding organisation, supporting the growth and quality of parent-infant relationship teams across the UK through local support and national policy change. In the last year we have launched our new brand and website, had a successful Infant Mental Health Awareness Week and national conference, and seen continued growth on our social media channels. We want to do more, better and with increased impact to achieve our mission, so that all babies and their carers needing relationship support can access it.

You will want to build on our recent successes and newly created communications strategy to share the value and work of parent-infant teams and why they are needed.  Working with our small staff team, the network of parent-infant relationship teams across the UK, and families having received their support, we want you to further increase our brand awareness and help us lead change in the field of infant mental health with our predominantly professional audiences. 

We are looking for a talented and experienced individual who can raise our profile and deepen our engagement with the first 1001 days sector, our network, and policymakers at local and national levels. As well as being confident and competent in delivering creative and engaging content across digital platforms, you must also be well versed in preparing compelling stories and content, bringing to life our work, and that of parent-infant teams. You will bring experience in digital communications and marketing especially with professional audiences; use and analytics of social media platforms; competency with Wordpress; experience of working with beneficiaries, alongside strong planning and ability to work across a team.

This role provides an opportunity to further develop and build the communications function within a small organisation and combines both strategic leadership and direct delivery.
