Imagine a role where your creativity and collaborative approach help connect supporters to a powerful mission, shifting the dial in the food and farming education sector so more children facing disadvantage can discover their connection with the land that sustains us all.

We’re seeking a skilled communicator and digital storyteller equally comfortable crafting social media posts, drafting briefing notes, or capturing and editing film content. You’ll be passionate about amplifying underrepresented voices and supporting social change through engaging communications that inform, connect and inspire.

You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to drive engagement, raise our profile, and grow our digital presence through impactful multimedia storytelling. Your work will help bring the voices of children, families and communities to partners and supporters nationwide, placing The Country Trust’s mission at the heart of national conversations about wellbeing, education and tackling the poverty of opportunity.

This role involves travel and occasional overnight stays (with mileage reimbursed) across England and North Wales. While we prioritise public transport use, this is not always feasible. Therefore, a valid driving licence is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

Communications & Influence

• Develop and deliver strategic, multi-channel communications that translate complex ideas into compelling messages to increase our influence across media, policy, and partner networks.

Multimedia Storytelling

• Create and deliver impactful, accessible multimedia content that amplifies beneficiary voices, supports advocacy, and aligns with our brand and strategic goals.

Stakeholder Engagement & Partnerships​

• Develop and tailor impactful communications and materials that strengthen partnerships, engage funders, and support collaborative initiatives with partner organisations.

Press, Media & Digital Oversight

• Support on press and social media communications by managing media relationships, crafting timely content, and optimising outreach to amplify our advocacy and campaigns.

About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

REF-222 972

Be part of a movement to ensure no one faces pulmonary fibrosis alone.

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is the leading UK charity supporting people affected by pulmonary fibrosis – a serious, life-limiting lung condition. We’re growing fast, guided by an ambitious five-year strategy and a clear vision: a future where everyone with pulmonary fibrosis has access to the care, support and hope they deserve.

We’re now seeking a proactive and talented Senior Press Officer to join our Communications Team and help position Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis as the authoritative voice on pulmonary fibrosis - supporting our campaigns, influencing health policy, and ensuring patients and their families are heard in the media. You will play a pivotal role in the development and delivery of a proactive and responsive press and media strategy.

You will craft compelling press releases, source and publish emotive case studies and news stories that secure impactful media coverage to inform, inspire and drive change. Working closely with patients, healthcare professionals, and internal teams, you will ensure our messaging is powerful, accurate, and resonates with a wide range of audiences, from journalists to policymakers. You will help shape public and media narratives, influencing understanding, awareness, and ultimately, improving outcomes for people living with pulmonary fibrosis.

If you’re passionate about helping people with serious illness live well for longer – and want to be part of a dynamic charity making change happen – we’d love to hear from you.

Imagine a role where your creativity helps connect supporters to a powerful mission, raising vital income so more children facing disadvantage can discover their connection with the land that sustains us all.

We’re looking for a multitalented Digital Marketing Officer who has a passion and skill for creating captivating and emotionally driven content, who can also support fundraising campaigns and drive optimisation through user feedback and data analysis. You’ll be confident with writing copy for websites and newsletters, creating social media posts, and working with design tools to produce digital materials that inspire people to donate, support, and champion our cause.

This is a new and significant role for our charity, offering the chance to contribute fresh ideas and see the direct results of your work. You’ll be joining a highly supportive, creative and digitally literate team committed to using digital innovation to help ensure every child, no matter their circumstance, has access to impactful food, farming and nature-based education.

This role involves travel and occasional overnight stays (with mileage reimbursed) across England and North Wales. While we prioritise the use of public transport this is not always feasible. Therefore, a valid driving licence is essential for this position.

Key Responsibilities:
 

Collect and Curate Impact Content

• Create compelling, emotionally resonant stories and visual content that demonstrate our impact, working closely with colleagues to ensure all materials are brand-aligned, accessible, and consistent in tone and style.

Design Campaign Materials and Reports

• Deliver digital campaigns by tailoring communications for key donor audiences, continually testing to optimise reach and engagement.

Digital Communications Oversight

• Manage social media content in partnership with the Digital Manager, using analytics to optimise performance and identifying emerging digital trends to enhance supporter engagement and income.
• Collaborate across teams to improve supporter journeys and digital engagement, while motivating ambassadors and influencers to amplify our reach and grow income.
   

About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

Salary: £37,280 starting salary (salary range will increase to a max £39,862 via the length of service) per annum plus £4,324 Inner London Weighting if based in the London office per annum

Contract: Fixed Term contract until 30 June 2026

Hours: Full-time. 35 hours per week (excluding lunch breaks). Some evening and weekend work may be required for which time off in lieu should be claimed.

Location: Any Refugee Action Office: London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bradford.  We will consider a UK-based hybrid working option.
