Contracts jobs

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.

This role focuses on early intervention work with young people aged 11–19, supporting them to improve their emotional health and wellbeing. You'll build short-term, trusted relationships that help young people build resilience, explore challenges, and access support around issues like anxiety, relationships, or low self-esteem.

Working in youth and community settings—including schools, the Young People’s Centre, and occasionally in homes—you’ll meet young people where they are and tailor support to their needs. You’ll work closely with schools, community partners, and the wider CYP team to ensure support is timely, relevant, and inclusive.

We’re keen to hear from people with:

· Experience of working 1:1 with young people in supportive or youth work settings

· Strong understanding of youth development and emotional wellbeing

· A commitment to inclusion, anti-oppressive practice, and trauma-informed youth work

· The ability to build rapport, maintain professional boundaries, and adapt to young people’s needs

A recognised youth work qualification is welcome but not essential. We particularly welcome applications from candidates with lived experience or from backgrounds currently underrepresented in our workforce, including Black and racially minoritised communities, disabled people, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.

We’re a flexible, supportive employer. We’re happy to discuss any access needs, working pattern requests or adjustments that would help you thrive in this role.

Why join us?

Impact Initiatives is a Brighton-based charity with a strong reputation for supporting people of all ages across Sussex. Our CYP Services provide safe spaces and supportive relationships that empower children and young people to thrive.

You’ll be joining a creative, values-led team, with a supportive management structure, regular supervision, and opportunities for development.

If you have questions about the job, please contact Ruth Davey (Targeted Support Lead) at Impact Initiatives.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) and the successful applicant will be subject to an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.

Closing date: Thursday, 28th August 2025 by 12.00 noon

Interviews: 3rd and 4th September 2025

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.
