A Rocha UK is a unique Christian nature conservation charity, mobilising Christians and churches to care for the natural world. We are a member of the Worldwide A Rocha Family, a federation of Christian conservation charities, and we have sister organisations in 23 other countries. A Rocha UK has a staff of 25 and many volunteers. We run nature conservation activities on our own reserves, advise a national network of conservation partners, inspire Christians to protect nature and act on climate change through our Wild Christian scheme, and run the popular Eco Church scheme for local churches. Our office is close to overground and tube stations, with its own secure cycle and parking facilities.
In 2026 we launched a new three year strategy with exciting goals of deepening our support to those in each of our programmes and increasing our reach in order to see more people equipped to care for creation. We also have a heightened focus on cross-cutting issues of social justice, climate resilience, becoming more prophetic and ensuring we are both learning from and serving all of the UK. Among others, a key enabler to fulfilling this strategy is growing our reach in order to equip Christians up and down the UK to care for nature, and developing what we offer households and individuals.
Purpose of role:
A Rocha UK is engaged with a large Christian constituency (Nearly 23,000 individuals on its e-mail lists, over 9000 churches registered for Eco Church across 25 denominations, over 60 conservation partners, ranging from Christian conference centres through to community farms, and over 8000 individuals in our Wild Christian programme - for individuals and households looking to live more sustainably).
The Senior Communications Strategist is a new post, and will bring leadership to the communications work across A Rocha UK. The person will play a key role, using marketing and leadership experience to spearhead and bring together our communications across all our programmes. Working collaboratively, you will lead a small Comms Matrix Team (line management sits with the programme teams) of 3 people who work across our key programmes (Eco Church, Conservation and Individuals) to deliver high quality, creative marketing output.
Day-to-day, this role sets strategic direction, ensures work is delivered to a consistently high standard, solves problems and makes decisions on priorities. They oversee the delivery of our communications across digital channels, campaigns and publications, helping to raise awareness, grow engagement and support our mission. They will monitor and report on performance of our comms channels, changing tactics as necessary.
You will collaborate with the programme teams to understand their audiences so that needs are met in a coordinated way that fits capacity. You will work closely with the fundraisers to develop engaging and compelling campaigns, enhancing and building donor fulfilment though strong storytelling, case studies and impact statements in multimedia formats. There is a need to take creative approaches to growing new supporters, developing existing ones and enhancing the overall supporter journey. You will also be involved in developing our Wild Christian programme. This role will work closely with key stakeholders including Senior Management team, our external digital agency, and worldwide A Rocha Family partners.
