Our work is highly respected and deeply valued across the legal and social justice sectors. To continue tackling the most pressing legal injustices of our time, we need you to increase our reach and engagement with our key audiences (including policy makers, the legal community and civil society organisations), amplifying our influence and impact. 

The Role

Reporting to the Communications & Engagement Director, this is an exciting role focused on supporting and building PLP’s external profile and audience engagement.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, as well as partners and clients, to ensure our communications are timely, inclusive, and impactful.

This is an exciting time to join the team. You would be communicating PLP’s work at a time when many of the issues we work on – from immigration to AI – have never been more salient. You would be joining us after we’ve launched our bold new strategy, which envisages a strategic role for external communications. You would be part of an exciting creative process to refresh our visual identity and narrative.

We’re looking for someone who is: 

• A creative storyteller: You will have strong news judgement and storytelling ability and will enjoy translating complex legal and policy issues into compelling content that engages and inspires
• A collaborative colleague: You will enjoy working across teams with colleagues at all levels and with external partners and clients
• Organised and determined: You are an excellent project manager who enjoys developing plans and putting them into action
• Committed to Equity: You resonate with PLP’s commitment to understand and address the effects of discrimination in all our work, both external and internal.

If you’re ready to take up this vital role, we’d love to hear from you!
