You will be joining an organisation committed to delivering outstanding provision for its members, and a staff team committed to the ethos of the Club.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of the social investment and support ecosystem over the next five years.

Access was established in 2015 to improve access to social investment for those charities and social enterprises experiencing barriers or facing exclusion from being able to do so. Access is a life-limited organisation, anticipated to exist for ten years. The ambition over that time is to both directly impact charities and social enterprises through the delivery of our programmes, but also to change the social investment ecosystem to better serve these organisations in the long term and once Access has gone.

Over the last five years, our programmes have transformed the ways in which social investment providers and capacity building organisations can support charities and social enterprises around England. We have generated a wealth of learning about how to effectively apply grant to change incentives in the ecosystem so it can better serve the needs of charities and social enterprises and build resilience in the long term. We are widely regarded for reflecting the values of the sector and for our network leadership approach.

Full Time (Flexible for the right candidate)

As we enter the second half of our live, we have begun to carefully plan towards our legacy. This includes thinking through the conditions that need to be in place across the social investment ecosystem over the next five years for Access to be able to close, and to close well.

The role will lead the development and delivery of our advocacy function. You will be a key member of our leadership team, reporting to the CEO and supporting him, the Director of Learning, the Board and your colleagues in communicating and influencing with impactful narratives and content. Without focusing on building Access’s own brand, you will raise the profile of our work, and crucially that of our partners, with key audiences and stakeholders, ensuring that we are able to influence at the highest levels on behalf of the organisations we seek to support.

Job Title: Director of Communications Salary: circa £45,000, 35 hours per week Contract: Full time, permanent Location: London or Manchester

We are looking for an innovative and collaborative Director of Communications for akt, the national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity working with 16 - 25 year olds you who are facing or experiencing homelessness, or living in a hostile environment.

The charity

Since 1989 akt has supported over 50,000 young people into safe homes and better futures, in a welcome and open environment that celebrates LGBTQ+ identities.

24% of young people who are homeless identify as LGBTQ+, and 77% believe that coming out to their parents was the main factor. Once homeless, LGBTQ+ young people are more likely to face violence and discrimination than young people who aren't LGBTQ+. They're also more likely to develop substance misuse issues and experience sexual exploitation. This can all take a huge toll on someone's physical and mental health and the charity's work is a vital resource at a time of real vulnerability.

akt helps LGBTQ+ young people to stay safe in a crisis and find emergency accommodation, providing a range of services that ensure that help is given quickly when needed. The charity also facilitates access to specialist support, education and training, in order to develop skills as well as identify and achieve life goals.

The Role

As Director of Communications, you will be a member of the senior management team, and will provide leadership as well as strategic direction for the charity's Communications function. Your task will be to ensure that akt's cause, work, and services, reach young people in need, supporters, and the general public; strengthening and developing the organisation's brand and profile.

Working across all Communications disciplines, this is a broad role with responsibility for developing innovative and successful campaigns; advising the board on crisis communications; engaging more young people using targeted digital and social media; as well as developing akt's brand identity. You will also lead on the development and management of strategic external partnerships with the press, media and other professionals across the communications industry; and lead a small, talented, team.

You

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Communications professional who works in a collaborative, innovative, and agile way. The charity is happy to consider applications from individuals with previous Head or Director of Communications experience, as well as from individuals who are ready to step into their first senior management position.

Core experience vital to the role is significant experience gained in a communications setting, including; managing a multi-disciplinary team; proven experience of partnership working and stakeholder management at the highest levels; and demonstrable experience of developing and leading campaigns that have made a positive impact on the external positioning of an organisation and its cause.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills with the ability to negotiate and influence, as well as interpret complex information clearly and concisely to a range of audiences. In addition, you'll be a natural leader with the ability to inspire others.
