Who are we?

Art Fund is the national fundraising charity for art. With over 142,000 members, we are leading the way in pioneering support for an inclusive and welcoming museum and gallery sector across the UK.

We work closely with a network of over 1000 museums and respond to their needs and aspirations. We're excited to see how they want to develop: to expand and diversify their collections and workforce, develop curatorial skills, make ambitious acquisitions, and create a welcoming, inclusive space for communities. With the support of over 140,000 members who buy a National Art Pass, patrons, and donors we can provide grants, encourage visiting and advocate for museums' essential role and value.

The role

This role is really plugged in to what's happening in museums and galleries around the UK, and our work to support them.

You'll also tell the story of our charitable purpose, through fundraising campaigns, our funding programmes, and high-profile events like Museum of the Year.

All this ladders up to build our brand - which helps us connect more people with great art and culture, and to support more museums and galleries.

We are seeking an experienced Social Media & Public Sector Engagement Officer to lead our social media and digital communications activity.

This role is about more than managing social media channels. We are looking for someone who can help raise the profile of invest in play amongst local authority leaders, commissioners, government departments, charitable funders, service providers and organisations working with children and families.

The successful candidate will be confident creating content that engages both professional and public audiences while helping position invest in play as a trusted and influential voice within the children's and family support sectors.

English will be the primary language of communication, however our content is viewed globally. We are therefore looking for someone who can communicate effectively with international audiences and adapt messaging for different countries, cultures and service environments.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in charities, not-for-profit organisations, children's services, education, family support or related sectors.

Experience communicating with public sector decision-makers, commissioners, funders or senior stakeholders is highly desirable.

We’re seeking two Communications and Engagement Officers – one embedded within our Development team and one within our Volunteering team. Each role will lead on their department’s marketing and communications activity, while working collaboratively with their counterparts in other departments to ensure a joined-up and consistent approach.

The role will involve supporting digital and in-person events, creating promotional content and producing high-quality and engaging posts for advertising events and post-event content. It will also involve acting as a proactive and trusted media lead for Spark Somerset, creatively shaping department-relevant coverage by building strong media relationships, managing news opportunities and conducting interviews where required.

You’ll bring experience of events, marketing and communications, as well as a creative mindset, and a lateral way of thinking and problem solving. You’ll also bring excellent oral and written presentation and communication skills – which are easily understood and relevant to a range of audiences – and an ability to craft content across a variety of media. 

In return, we offer flexible, hybrid working options, a free Employee Assistance Programme, a day off to celebrate your birthday, and up to 7.5 hours of volunteering leave per year.
