With 50 years of history, Greyhound Trust has long been at the heart of helping retired greyhounds find loving homes. As the charity evolves to meet the changing landscape, this role will be pivotal in driving a step-change in how we communicate — raising awareness of the growing homing challenge, inspiring new audiences to get involved, and supporting our vital income generation work.

You’ll bring at least three years of proven experience in both strategic and hands-on PR and marketing — from planning and content creation to media relations, digital engagement, brand development and taking a lead on key events, such as Crufts and our annual Great Greyhound Gathering.

You’ll understand how effective PR and marketing can both protect and enhance a charity’s brand while also supporting income generation and engagement goals. You’ll bring the confidence and experience to balance these priorities and work collaboratively to achieve them.

Confident working across multiple audiences and channels, you’ll combine creative storytelling with data-driven insight to deliver measurable impact.

As a national charity, based in Surrey, but represented across the UK via a developing branch network (often volunteer led) you will need to have experience of working with a large and diverse range of passionate and knowledgeable stakeholders. 

This is a role for a person who enjoys variety, autonomy, and responsibility — someone who can balance strategic thinking with a willingness to get stuck in and make things happen. In return, you’ll find a supportive, collaborative team and the chance to see the direct results of your work: more people understanding, supporting, and opening their homes to retired  greyhounds.

Salary range £38k - £40k

The role is full time, located at the National Greyhound Centre, Horley with occasional travel to branches across the UK.

Occasional working from home when appropriate.

No Agencies please.

Lafiya trains and supports government-employed female health workers to deliver self-injectable contraception directly in their own communities. More than 300,000 women have already been reached through this model. We are now strengthening our supply chain, expanding to new states, and building systems for long-term government co-financing. As we grow, smooth and reliable operations are essential to our impact.

• Lead key parts of UK charity compliance, including annual audit preparation and policy updates
• Drive process improvements that make the organisation faster, clearer, and more scalable
• Coordinate internal events, retreats, travel logistics and tech onboarding for the team

This job is for you if you…

• Spot problems early and enjoy fixing them fast
• Prefer doing to talking, and keep things moving without needing supervision
• Are organised and comfortable switching between many tasks
• Communicate clearly across different cultures and contexts
• Enjoy start-up environments where systems are still being built
• Are comfortable with spreadsheets and digital tools, or quick to learn them

We welcome early-career candidates as well as more experienced operations professionals. You don’t need to meet every point to apply.
