Surfers Against Sewage:

Surfers Against Sewage started 30 years ago; a group of water lovers fighting back to clean up the sea so we could stop getting sick. As we campaigned we started getting wiser about the full scope of pollution, waste, destruction and rising temperatures damaging the ocean that so many of us love and that we all rely on. 

We realised it wasn’t just people getting sick from ocean pollution. It was the planet as well. That for people to thrive and live life to the fullest, the ocean has to thrive too. So we started rising up on more issues, bringing together more people and using our collective power to drive change. Plastic. Water quality. The climate crisis. Ocean recovery. By building and connecting communities motivated to make a difference, we gather the evidence and give voice to the issues that hold leaders to account. 

From the beach-front to the frontbench, pavements to the hilltops, we’re creating inspired, motivated Ocean Activists everywhere, each one of us committed to the exact same thing. Protecting the ocean and all it makes possible. 

A lot has changed in the last three decades. But we’re still a group of water lovers, fighting back, to clean up the sea. It’s just now there are more of us, with more corners to fight. 

Today we are more than surfers. It’s about more than sewage. We’re here because of the ocean. Let’s fight for it.

The Surfers Against Sewage values are:

Open

Together, we’re passionate, down to earth campaigners, with a deep unrelenting love of the ocean. We believe in building diverse, inclusive and active communities.

Authentic

We are human, doing our best for the ocean that we all love and rely on. When we don’t get things right, we learn from it. We believe in authenticity. You can’t fake trust.

Daring

We’re creative risk takers, willing to disrupt the status quo and show how being different makes a difference. We have edge and energy that we put to use, pushing back against norms and pushing forward a counterview of what’s possible for our planet.

Dynamic

We are dynamic, active, energetic doers. From the beachfront to the frontbench, we bring people together, empowering them to get stuck in and make real change happen.

Purposeful

We’re serious, experienced, rigorous, determined and dedicated. We know the impact of people power and how our actions on the ground, and at the top, make a difference.

A great opportunity for a strong communicator in a fast-growing charity that is helping improve access to medicines worldwide, saving lives and preventing avoidable suffering.  International Health Partners (IHP) supports people in hard-to-reach, vulnerable and disaster-hit communities to get the medicines they need, by coordinating the safe and responsible donation of long-dated medical products. We work with our strong network of global healthcare, logistics and NGO partners, to source and send treatments to where they are needed most, to help prevent the needless suffering caused by a lack of access to healthcare.  Our work is needed now more than ever. The global outbreak of COVID-19 has further highlighted the urgent need for improving access to medicines and for strengthening health systems.  In the last two years, IHP has sent over 20 million treatments to vulnerable communities around the world including places such as Yemen, Lebanon, South Sudan and Haiti.

We are looking for someone who is naturally articulate, proactive and enthusiastic.  You will help us raise IHP's profile and hence resources, through targeting marketing and brand campaigns in line with the communications strategy.

You will do this by producing strong communications and fundraising materials for our channels and for key stakeholders. These include IHP donors, NGO partners, logistics and healthcare companies.  You will provide regular content for a range of media including our website, social media and newsletters. You will work closely with IHP colleagues to achieve IHP’s aims, and act as a point of liaison with other organisations looking to talk about our partnerships.

Can you help us tell the right story, to the right people, at the right time? Can you seek out new opportunities to get IHP’s brand in front of relevant audiences to ensure we can raise our profile, increase resources and deliver our vision? If so, this role could be for you. We are looking for someone with experience in a similar role and with knowledge of marketing and communications.  Understanding of the charity sector and global health would be an advantage.

IHP is an Equal Opportunities Employer. Staff regularly spend time together praying for IHP’s work and there is therefore an occupational requirement that this position is held by a committed Christian. Please make it clear in the application how you meet this requirement.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and as such, suitable candidates may be invited to a conversation ahead of the closing date.
