Since 1990, Public Law Project has held power to account through landmark legal challenges. PLP’s recent work, delivered in close collaboration with its brilliant clients and partners, includes challenging the government's Rwanda immigration policy, securing justice for the Windrush generation, and scrutinising the use of AI in public decision-making. 

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 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 be responsible for: building relationships with journalists and securing media coverage, day-to-day content creation and the development of our digital channels. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, as well as partners and clients, to ensure our communications are timely, inclusive, and impactful.

You would be joining the team at a significant moment. The issues we work on – from immigration to AI – have never been more salient or more important. You would be joining us after we have launched our bold new strategy and play a part in refreshing our visual identity and shaping our narrative.

We’re looking for someone who is:  

Digitally savvy, media-smart and a creative storyteller: You have strong news judgement and storytelling ability, with experience securing media coverage and creating compelling content across digital channels. You enjoy translating complex legal and policy issues into content that engages and inspires — and know how to tailor it for different platforms and audiences. 

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 share PLP’s commitment to understanding and addressing the effects of marginalisation in all our work. 

If you're ready to help us tell the stories that matter, we'd love to hear from you. 

As part of our commitment to recruit fairly we use anonymised-selection processes until interview, offer additional interview opportunities to the highest-scoring candidates from under-represented communities, and use ‘tie-breaker’ provisions at all stages of our selection process.
