About Us
CleanupUK is a national charity that supports communities in tackling the problem of litter and strengthening community connections. We work directly with people in areas of need to help them clean up and care for their local environment through the creation and support of litter-picking hubs.
Why Join Us?
This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference for communities and the environment nationwide. You’ll be joining a friendly, flexible and supportive team that values your creativity and initiative at an exciting time, as we continue to grow our national reach and impact.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking an experienced and creative Communications and Marketing Manager to join us on a fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave. You’ll be passionate about driving positive change in communities and the environment, with strong skills in storytelling and creating engaging content across social media, web and campaigns. You’ll know how to bring a national charity’s voice to life in a way that connects with local communities.
You’ll be both strategic and hands-on, able to manage multiple projects and deadlines while adapting quickly to new opportunities and priorities. Organised and proactive, you’ll thrive working with diverse partners and stakeholders. Above all, you’ll share our commitment to community engagement, tackling inequality, and protecting the environment, using your skills to inspire and amplify voices.
About the Role
You’ll lead our communications and engagement efforts, helping to shape and deliver key campaigns and partnerships that sit at the heart of our work. From developing compelling marketing materials and managing digital content to promoting our litter-picking hubs and supporting national initiatives like our Summer Pick Me Up: Protect Our Waterways campaign and The Davina Awards, you’ll play a central role in telling our story and inspiring action.
Your work will be guided by our organisational objectives and annual communications work plan, with clear deliverables and milestones throughout the year. At the same time, you’ll need the flexibility and initiative to respond to the more reactive demands of the role — whether that’s capitalising on media opportunities, supporting partner activity, or responding to emerging issues and events.
A key part of the role will be developing and delivering engaging social media content that reflects our position as a national charity with a strong community focus — finding creative ways to connect our national voice with local stories, volunteers, and impact at a hyper-local level.
As our go-to person for communications, design, and content creation, you’ll bring a strong mix of digital, creative, and strategic skills, along with the confidence to manage multiple projects and relationships in a fast-paced environment. If you’re a skilled communicator with a flair for creativity and a passion for community engagement, tackling inequality, and protecting the environment, we’d love to hear from you.
