This new role begins at a time of significant change in the organisation: in the next five years we will create a heritage experience that has a strong sense of place, our programming will engage more people and we will excel at caring for our collections and heritage whilst making them more accessible to all.

About the Role

The heritage that is in the care of the Order of St John in England includes the magnificent gatehouse in Clerkenwell, dating to the time of Henry VII, and the 12th century crypt, the sole surviving piece of the extensive St John Priory on the outskirts of the City of London. The gatehouse is home to the Museum of the Order of St John which cares for an accredited collection of over 60,000 objects and further collections are kept in St John buildings across England. The objects chart over 900 years of caring by an organisation that began with a hospital in Jerusalem and now operates in 41 countries across the world. In addition to the collection held in London, St John holds smaller collections across England. St John’s strategy is rooted in communities, pays greater focus to young people and aims to be the sector leader in first aid. The role of the museum, the historic buildings and the compelling stories they tell provide the foundation of the contemporary charity, St John Ambulance.

To achieve this, exceptional leadership is required, both to influence external potential partners and to ensure that we provide the most engaging and meaningful experiences for our audiences and St John people. To enable this, a new strategy is also required for our commercial business in our heritage estate, ensuring that we optimise the level of income to support our public engagement activity.

You will work across the organisation enabling us to reach out to more carers and others in need of support to offer appropriate information, advice and support.

The successful candidate will be an exceptional communicator with the range of skills commensurate with the array of communication methods in use today.  Leading the Engagement Team, the post holder will ensure that all communication both externally and internally adheres to our branding guidelines and is presented in a high quality professional manner.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the ability to write, co-ordinate and edit others contributions to our quarterly newsletter, manage relationships with the media, lead publicity and carer campaigns and further develop social media as an effective form of communication. 

The Jobs: 

Our goal at Kent Wildlife Trust is to ensure that 25% of the population of Kent is engaged with our work tackling the climate and nature crises. Both these roles are pivotal to that goal, working across a range of communications and marketing activities to promote our brand and ensure that as many people as possible are committed to a wilder Kent.  Working on ground breaking projects such as our bison release and wilder carbon, your responsibilities will span digital and traditional media to help our campaigns to reach audiences including businesses, policy makers, farmers and the wider public.  You will write and schedule social media posts and press releases, support the production of our membership magazine, deal with media enquiries and support the development of specific campaigns to promote Kent Wildlife Trust’s goals. This is an opportunity to have a positive and lasting impact on our environment and if you think you have the skills to succeed, we would be delighted to talk to you.  Please carefully consider the skills, qualities and experiences required for both roles and let us know which you are applying for on the application form.  You are equally very welcome to apply for both! 

You: 

In the Senior role you will be an experienced communications and marketing professional looking to take the next step in your career.  You will be an excellent writer, comfortable operating across multiple social media channels, have experience maintaining websites and with email marketing and be confident dealing with journalists.  You may currently be in the corporate or the charitable sector and you will bring fresh ideas to effect behaviour change to achieve positive environmental impacts. Ideally you will have a sound understanding of the conservation and environmental sectors, but for the right candidate this is not essential.  For the Communications Officer role you may be taking your first career steps into the Marketing and Communications sector but be able to show us passion for conservation, creativity, accuracy and experience of working with online communications and printed materials and publications.

Kent Wildlife Trust is the leading wildlife charity for Kent and Medway, supported by its members and staffed by committed professionals.  Join our team and help us create a Wilder Kent! In return we will inspire you, listen to you, value you, treat you equally and fairly, look after your health and wellbeing and encourage flexibility from day one, enabling you to draw on these benefits to be a better, happier and more productive you.
