Use your digital skills to change young lives 

At YMCA Milton Keynes & Northamptonshire, young people are at the heart of everything we do. Every day, we provide safe homes, trusted relationships and life-changing support to young people who need it most.

We’re now looking for a Brand and Digital Communications Manager to join us on a 12-month fixed-term contract, covering shared parental leave. This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced, creative digital professional to take ownership of our digital channels and help amplify the real impact of our work.

About the role

This is a hands-on, strategic digital communications role where no two days are the same.

You’ll lead our digital communications, content and design across multiple platforms — from social media and websites to digital screens across our campus. You’ll shape how we tell our story, how young people engage with us, and how supporters understand and champion our work.

You’ll:

• Own and deliver our digital communications and campaigns calendar

• Create engaging, high-quality content that brings our mission to life

• Manage and develop our websites and social media channels

• Lead on digital design, video and visual storytelling

• Act as a brand guardian, ensuring consistency and quality

You’ll likely have:

• Strong experience in digital communications, content and campaigns

• Confidence using design tools such as Canva, InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator

• Experience managing websites and multi-platform digital channels

• Excellent writing skills and an eye for compelling visual storytelling

• A proactive, organised approach and the ability to juggle multiple priorities

• A collaborative mindset and confidence working with a wide range of stakeholders

Why work for YMCA MK & Northamptonshire?

• Be part of a mission-driven organisation that puts young people first

• Use your skills to create real social impact, every day

• Work in a supportive, values-led environment

• Opportunity to innovate and shape our digital future

• Flexible and inclusive culture, with some evening or weekend work by agreement

The Organisation
  
The Global Strategic Communications Council (GSCC), hosted by Meliore Foundation and funded by philanthropy, is a network of communications professionals in the fields of climate, energy, and nature.

Decarbonising the built environment is among the most urgent and under-communicated climate imperatives but is often framed as costly, bureaucratic, or politically challenging. To address this, GSCC is establishing a dedicated Built Environment Strategic Communications Hub, within the broader GSCC network. The hub will bring together strategic communications expertise and campaign delivery to support the transition to near-zero and resilient buildings.

• Identify policy issues to shift via strategic interventions for maximum impact.
• Oversee effective national campaigns, ensuring they are achievable and evidence-based.
• Manage the budget, financial reporting, and stakeholder relationships.

• Leadership of campaigns, media, and digital teams across European geographies, with experience collaborating across global markets.
• Strong geopolitical nous and political strategy expertise to influence change.
• Budget management (€1M min), compliance, and reporting experience.
• Ability to operate successfully — and lead others effectively — in complex, dynamic, political, and cross-cultural contexts.
• Excellent English communication skills: a European language is a plus.
