About us
Crisis is the UK’s national homelessness charity. We work side-by-side with people to help them rebuild their lives. Through decades of experience of working with people who are homeless, we know what’s needed to leave homelessness behind for good. We use this experience to shape the services we provide and the changes we campaign for.
The News and Media team play a central role in building Crisis’ public profile, awareness of our year-round services and securing the changes we need to ensure everyone has a safe and stable place to call home. We tell compelling stories of people who’ve experienced homelessness, support our fundraising efforts on a national and regional level and highlight our work at Christmas and throughout the year in new and creative ways.

Your role will be stimulating and varied. You’ll work with our frontline staff to identify people facing homelessness who want to share their stories and empower them to do so. You’ll also work alongside our Artist Liaison Manager to devise creative ways for our high-profile supporters and ambassadors to engage with the cause publicly and play a crucial role in some of our biggest organisational campaigns, like our annual Christmas campaign. You will also help make the most of reactive opportunities that come through to our press office and help build relationships with key journalists.
About you
You’ll be a skilled communicator with experience of working within a busy press office environment/PR agency or as a journalist.
You’ll have a track record of delivering high-profile, integrated media strategies that secure quality coverage in national, regional and consumer outlets.
A passion for writing, and experience of working with and interviewing case studies, will mean you know how to tell a compelling story that will capture the attention of journalists and build public support for our goal of ending homelessness for good.

Charity People is proud to be heading up the search party for one of the North West's biggest, boldest and most recognisable charity brands with a lifesaving mission. We're looking for a high-performing Regional Fundraising Manager with expertise in community fundraising to lead a team of five fundraisers across the North West.
Reporting to the Head of Community and Events you'll be responsible for ensuring each Regional Fundraiser achieves their targets and is supported to meet their goals and ambitions. You'll work with them to develop fundraising within their individual geographical area, whilst ensuring that community fundraising plans across the whole of the North West region are robust and set up to encourage diversification and resilience.
You will have strong leadership skills and experience of team management (ideally remotely), as well as experience of community fundraising and a recent, informed understanding of the fundraising landscape across the North West.
You look for creative ways to inspire, encourage and motivate your team. You're able to shape the team to be exceptional charity ambassadors out in the field. You're also strong internal team player who can represent and champion community fundraising to stakeholders at all levels across the organisation.
Initially, you'll be fully home-based. Longer-term, there will be a need to attend meetings at head office in Merseyside, but you are welcome to be primarily home-based if that suits your circumstances. The role comes with some great benefits and the charity has spent time and energy creating a flexible, agile working culture with life and family-friendly working policies.
We are accepting applications on a rolling basis and will move to interview as soon as we have a strong enough shortlist, so please get in touch ASAP if you are interested. Please apply with a copy of your CV to our North West consultants, Amelia Lee and Ellen Drummond.
