Unlocked Graduates is an award-winning organisation that aims to change the way we develop society’s future leaders, as well as how we think about prisons and prisoners by focusing on rehabilitation and addressing the damage and cost of reoffending.

The Role

Graduates voice across a range of digital, social and print channels. As a talented communications all-rounder,  you’ll have a good eye for assessing design and a dynamic voice able to communicate to wide audiences.

Collaborating with colleagues and external creative agencies, you will act as an internal journalist; seeking out  stories and producing engaging content that speaks to our hard-to-reach audience, persuading ambitious and  passionate graduates to consider taking on the challenge of fixing the prison system from within.

Using creative storytelling, writing, and design across all digital and social media channels, you will help tell the  untold story of prisons, correcting stereotypes and misconceptions around the prison officer role: Prisons  contain a dynamic professional workforce who are critical if we are to drive rehabilitation in our prisons.

You will build the reputation of Unlocked Graduates by bringing to life the inspiring stories of our changemaking programme participants like:

• KATRICE who pioneered Black History Month celebrations in her prison, creating important space for prisons  to discuss race and celebrate black culture
• DRÉ who noticed cells overheating during the summer months and gained funding through Unlocked to pilot a rollout of UV window film to reduce heat for prisoners
while retaining natural light
• LOUISA who set-up a prisoner-led television channel to improve cross-prison communication and which  proved an important communication tool during the Covid-19 crisis especially.

This Communications and Digital Officer role is an exciting opportunity to join a ground-breaking, disruptive  charity that is working to break cycles of reoffending. The role is critical to maximising our grads’ frontline and  systemic impact. You will help build networks of allies and collaborators across the criminal justice system and 
beyond who can accelerate the innovation occurring within the Unlocked community.

Role purpose: To lead on the design and delivery of a compelling and high impact membership experience for our schools, grounded in brilliant school experience and expert relationship management.

Working closely with our team of school-facing Membership Officers and Oracy Consultants, you’ll bring your high standards for customer service, understanding of account management and keen eye for improvement to shape our schools’ journey: from sign up to engagement to retention and renewal. You’ll be able to drill down into the detail, using data to gain insights from our schools and enhance their experience, while not losing sight of the big picture: how we build and mobilise a national network of schools to bring about systemic change. 

You will enjoy the challenge of taking ownership of a major strand of work and finding and implementing creative solutions to big questions such as:

• How can we scale our membership and impact to best support our target population? 

• How can we sustain lasting member relations and continue to engage our alumni schools? 

• How can we empower our leading schools and strongest advocates to create impact across our network?

Key responsibilities: 

• Designing, implementing and managing a smooth and personal end-to-end member (customer) experience from sign up to engagement to renewal and alumni

• Setting the standard for member experience and account management e.g. through the development and support of our Membership Officer team; establishing processes within our membership management function.

• Devising & managing how we report on our schools’ membership experience (internally and for external stakeholders such as Local Authority or Multi-Academy Trust commissioners), and using these insights for continuous improvement.

• Working closely with Membership Officers to improve our member engagement, retention and to deliver annual renewal targets.

• Improving our school membership management and our organisation's efficiency through working with the Operations team to plan and oversee the ongoing development of Voice 21’s digital systems, in particular our CRM (Salesforce). e.g. opportunities for automation

• Taking overall responsibility for the management of membership communications: working across the Schools and Communications teams to sequence, commission, write and monitor campaigns to increase the engagement and retention of our members.

• Overseeing the quality of the school experience on our programme of professional development courses (held in-person and online)

• Collaborating across teams to coordinate and manage our programme of member events.

• Identifying, designing and implementing initiatives to improve how we support our member schools e.g. to increase engagement.

• Working with colleagues in the Schools team and Learning & Impact team to devise and implement new ‘products’ within our membership which strengthen our member experience and impact e.g. establishing Lead Voice 21 Oracy Schools, designing and operationalising our offer for alumni schools. 

• Devising and/or commissioning from other teams membership products which add value to the schools and groups of schools we work with e.g. project impact reports

You’ll love this job if:

• You are in your element taking on big questions, working and influencing across teams to find solutions but are just as comfortable mapping out the detail and seeing your plans through to delivery. 

• You take pride in the high standards you set and understand that small personal touches go a long way.

• You are passionate about the impact of oracy and the power of school networks in bringing about social change.

• You enjoy working as part of a fast-paced, fast-growing team with big ambitions and are excited to use your initiative to help us achieve these.
