Job description

About the role

We are looking for a Head of Communications, someone with ambition and commitment to shape our approach to communications, internally and externally, and to help us understand how we talk about and demonstrate our impact as a funder. You will be part of a small team that helps to communicate the work of the Foundation externally, drives internal communication, and promotes the work of those we support.

The Head of Communications is a critical post, drawing together our shared story across the different areas of our work and communicating this to key audiences in support of our mission and vision. The communications team plays a crucial role in advancing our commitment to being an anti-racist funder and working towards greater diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and you will lead on how this is embedded into all of our internal and external communications activity. You will act as a crucial bridge between the Foundation and our various audiences, in particular those people and organisations we are seeking to support through our funding.

Main areas of responsibility 

  • Strategic oversight of internal and external corporate communications, ensuring alignment with the Foundation’s mission, values and impact
  • Leadership of diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racist communications across all platforms and activities
  • Reputation, risk and issues management, including navigating complex or sensitive public positions
  • Development and delivery of proactive communications campaigns, stakeholder engagement and influencing activity
  • Team leadership and cross organisational collaboration, contributing to management culture and organisational priorities

Our ideal candidate will have senior-level communications experience, including developing and delivering external communications strategies, providing sound communications and media advice to senior leadership, and proactively engaging with journalists and key external stakeholders.

About us

Paul Hamlyn Foundation was established by Paul Hamlyn in 1987. Upon his death in 2001, he left most of his estate to the Foundation, creating one of the largest grant-making foundations in the UK.

We use our resources to support social change, working towards a just and equitable society in which everyone, especially young people, can realise their full potential and enjoy fulfilling and creative lives.

Our vision is for a just society in which everyone, especially young people, can realise their full potential and enjoy fulfilling and creative lives.

Our mission is to be an effective and independent funder, using all our resources to create opportunities and support social change. We partner with inspiring organisations and individuals to put them at the heart of leading change and designing solutions to overcome inequality.

We are committed to being an anti-racist organisation. This commitment drives how we work, who we work with and how we make decisions.

We have five funding priorities where we wish to see change for our work in the UK:

  • Investing in young people
  • Migration
  • Arts
  • Arts Education
  • Nurturing ideas and people

Our values are important to us and we work to and carry them through all our activity.

Benefits

The Foundation is based in light and recently refurbished offices near Kings Cross in London and we currently work to a hybrid working model with 40% of time worked in the office and the rest a combination of external grantee visits and homeworking. We offer fantastic benefits including

  • 25 days annual leave,
  • 10% non-contributory pension contributions with optional additional 2.5% matched employer contributions
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity policies
  • Complimentary lunch when in the office.
