This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a new and high-impact role, shaping how Greyhound Trust engages the public, tells its story, and builds lasting support for the thousands of greyhounds we help each year.
As PR & Marketing Manager, you’ll join our newly formed Income Generation and Engagement Team — a dynamic group driving innovation, brand growth, and audience engagement across the charity. Reporting to the Head of Income Generation and Engagement, you’ll have the freedom and trust to review our current approach and design a fresh, strategic programme of marketing and PR activity that truly reflects our values, our mission, and our ambitions.
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.
Greyhound Trust was founded in 1975. Since then we are proud to have found over 100,000 loving homes for greyhounds.
