Intro

Everything we do at Possible is about getting more people involved in the transition to a zero carbon UK, so we know that having a diverse range of experiences and perspectives represented in our staff team makes the organisation stronger and our work more impactful.

We especially encourage applications from people of marginalised backgrounds who are underrepresented in the climate movement—even if you’re not sure whether you tick all the boxes. We expect that there will be areas where some candidates may need to do more upskilling, and we’re committed to providing the training and support the successful candidate might need to feel confident in the role.

About the role 

Do you love the challenge of communicating big issues to diverse audiences? Are you someone who thrives in a varied working environment? Do you want to tackle climate change head on? We should talk!

As our new Communications and Campaigns Officer, you’ll bring your experience in digital communications to contribute towards making Possible’s work relevant, accessible and inspiring to key audiences. You’ll take a proactive approach to increasing and diversifying our audiences and finding new ways to talk about climate change with new people. 

Working across the campaigns and communications teams, you’ll create exciting and engaging content which brings our work to life on digital platforms. You’ll have a good understanding of which platforms, tone and style are best suited to reach which audiences, and an eye for analytics, monitoring and evaluating what works, and adapting accordingly. 

You’ll provide essential, day to day administrative support to our communications and campaigns teams through information sharing, calendar management and document preparation. In our small comms team, there is a lot of crossover between roles, so you will occasionally be asked to pitch into other functions such as web and press. At different times, you’ll provide support to our varied campaigns—from aviation to community energy to traffic reduction to electrical repair—offering you the chance to engage with a lot of different people, in a range of ways.

You’ll be invited to contribute to general marketing, media, outreach, fundraising and campaign strategy. And everyone at Possible helps out in the best ways they are able, by doing things like organising digital birthday cards, taking out the bins or the virtual equivalent, so there’s that too.

We usually work 9.30am-5.30pm but staff can use flexitime to work the hours that work for them depending on the day or request different standard hours.

About us

At Possible, we create, build, and share ways people can take meaningful action on climate change. Combining personal and local actions into larger systemic change, we face climate dread with a can-do attitude and sense of fun. Whether we’re helping people fix their electronics, turning parking spaces into tree planting zones or lobbying MPs on clean heat, everything we do is about inspiring more people to take ambitious climate action. We have a set of values that guide our actions and our organisational culture, daring, joy and community. 

If you are from a marginalised group and/or have a non-traditional work or educational background and would like to discuss the role, or if you have any questions about the job or how we do things at Possible before you apply, email us and we can speak via call or email.

You'll support design and delivery of multi-channel creative, tell our incredible research stories, and work with storytellers to put their lived experience at the heart of everything we do. This is a varied and creative role, producing new social media and website content that resonates with our communities, works to optimise our digital channels to maximise engagement, and helps to deliver our new content strategy.

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we'd love to hear from you:

• Experience in planning and creating high-quality, multi-channel content shaped by insight and informed by SEO.

• Experience in using social media and project management tools.

• A solid understanding of the social media landscape, technologies, emerging channels and trends.

Our work is highly respected and deeply valued across the legal and social justice sectors. To continue tackling the most pressing legal injustices of our time, we need to increase our reach and engagement with our key audiences (including policy makers, the legal community and civil society organisations), amplifying our influence and impact.  

The Role

You’ll be responsible for: building relationships with journalists and securing media coverage, day-to-day content creation and the development of our digital channels. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, as well as partners and clients, to ensure our communications are timely, inclusive, and impactful.

You would be joining the team at a significant moment. The issues we work on – from immigration to AI – have never been more salient or more important. You would be joining us after we have launched our bold new strategy and play a part in refreshing our visual identity and shaping our narrative.

We’re looking for someone who is:  

Digitally savvy, media-smart and a creative storyteller: You have strong news judgement and storytelling ability, with experience securing media coverage and creating compelling content across digital channels. You enjoy translating complex legal and policy issues into content that engages and inspires — and know how to tailor it for different platforms and audiences. 

A collaborative colleague: You will enjoy working across teams with colleagues at all levels and with external partners and clients. 

Organised and determined: You are an excellent project manager who enjoys developing plans and putting them into action

Committed to Equity: You share PLP’s commitment to understanding and addressing the effects of marginalisation in all our work. 

If you're ready to help us tell the stories that matter, we'd love to hear from you.

About Lloyds Bank Foundation 

Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales is an independent charitable foundation, backed by Lloyds Banking Group and the people within it. We want everyone to be in a good place - personally, in a home that’s a good place to live, and in a community that’s a good place to belong. 

We play our role by connecting and catalysing community-led change, providing the money, time, tools and connections that build organisations’ capacity and capability, to make people’s lives better and their communities stronger. 

We back people and communities across England and Wales, to make that happen, because when you back brilliant people, brilliant things happen. Our communities are full of ambitious, energetic and determined people stepping up to make their neighbours’ lives better and their communities grow stronger. Day in, day out. 

About the Role 

This is a key role supporting the transformation of communications across the Foundation. You will help shape how we engage, inspire and connect with priority audiences, ensuring our messaging is clear, consistent and impactful. 

As Strategic Communications Lead, you will play a central role in evolving how we communicate - strengthening our organisational narrative and supporting a shift towards more proactive engagement with new audiences, including colleagues across Lloyds Banking Group and wider stakeholders. 

This is a hands-on role with strategic influence. You will support the development of communications campaigns, processes and ways of working, while leading the delivery of the Foundation’s new website as a core part of our digital transformation. 

About You 

We are looking for someone with strong experience in strategic communications, campaigns or content-led roles, ideally within a complex organisation. You will bring experience of supporting organisational change through communications, alongside strong digital and project delivery skills. 

You will be confident working across teams, managing external suppliers, and developing clear, engaging messaging for different audiences. 

A commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging is essential.

As one of the founding funders of A Bed Every Night, we have been at the forefront of efforts to reduce rough sleeping in the city region. The funds we have raised have gone to frontline services offering a warm welcome, hot food, safe shelter and wrap-around support to help move people into more stable accommodation. However, our support for the homelessness ecosystem extends beyond A Bed Every Night, as we also provide funding for initiatives, organisations and projects that can help stop homelessness before it becomes a reality, and ensure it is only ever rare, brief and non-recurrent.

Working with businesses, people and communities across Greater Manchester, we raise funds to deliver grants across three priority areas:

1. Emergency Response

2. Places and Spaces

3. Prevention

2026 is an exciting year for the Charity as we embark on the next phase of our growth and look to appoint a new Communications & Campaigns Manager to help us drive this forward. If you are ready to bring our vision to life, excited to work within a small but committed team dedicated to addressing homelessness in Greater Manchester, then we look forward to receiving your application!
