Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is one of the UK's leading marine conservation and campaigning charities. Our mission is simple: to Create Ocean Activists Everywhere. Our projects and campaigns inspire, unite and empower individuals and communities to take action to protect our ocean, beaches, waves and wildlife. Our vision, Thriving Ocean, Thriving People, is about connecting all humans to the ocean and creating communities of people who want to make real change happen. We support and empower people to campaign together as the authentic voice of the ocean.

The organisation was founded in 1990 and became a charity in 2013. The charity is made up of a board of 11 trustees, an executive team of 21, 200+ Regional Reps and over 100,000 active volunteers around the UK. The charity also founded and runs the only marine conservation All Party Parliamentary Group in Westminster – the Ocean Conservation APPG, bringing together a collaborative voice for ocean in Westminster.

The charity has recently confirmed the Patronage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and 2020 sees the start of the new decade and an opportunity for the charity to reflect on a 30 year legacy of high-impact environmental campaigning, and look forward to further establish itself as one of the most authentic and trusted voices in marine conservation. The year marks the start of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration which provides us with a powerful external frame to continue to develop and deliver our campaigns. In 2020, we will begin a decade devoted to the ocean, redoubling our efforts to mobilise volunteers, collect citizen science, influence legislation and diversify our campaign efforts. We will develop clear goals and a roadmap of campaigns to protect the ocean.

The latest annual report and accounts can be accessed through the Charity Commission.

Community and Values

The ever-growing SAS community believes in staying connected with the ocean. To strengthen this bond, we live by four core values, which matter deep down, to us all.

• Open: Together, we’re passionate, down to earth campaigners, born out of the community, with a deep unrelenting love of the ocean. We believe in building diverse, inclusive and active communities.
• Dynamic: We are dynamic, radical, active, energetic doers and campaigners. From the beaches to the front benches, we bring people together, empowering them to get stuck in and make real change happen.
• Authentic: We are human, doing our best. When we don’t get things right, we learn from it. We believe in authenticity. You can’t fake trust. We are deeply connected to and motivated by the ocean.
• Creative: We are creative and entrepreneurial. We move fast, think far and believe the future is bright. From our humble home, we make waves (of all shapes and sizes) to improve our greatest gift. A healthy ocean = a healthy society.

The Role and Opportunity

Proactive communication is the most important driver of our campaign impact, positioning, audience acquisition and fundraising potential.

We need someone with an eye for an ocean story, has their finger on the pulse of environmental stories, knows the pace of a breaking story, and can plan and deliver a campaign with precision. Someone who brings their instinctive understanding and technical experience of communications to enhance our high impact campaigns to protect the ocean.

Importantly, you will understand how digital tools can help influence the debate to bring about change and grow our supporter base.

Media Trust

Media Trust strives to bridge the gap between the media and creative industry and charities, under-represented communities and young people to give them a stronger voice. We do this by delivering innovative and impactful training and capacity building for charities, promoting skills-based volunteering – matching good skills with good causes, and empowering young people from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds to work in the media and creative industry.

We’re proud to be helping charities and under-represented communities to challenge entrenched negative stereotypes and fight for more authentic media representation, giving a stronger voice to people with lived experience. We’re helping charities with their communications strategy, advocacy and campaigning, storytelling, content creation, press engagement, and digital and social media.

In the last 12 months, Media Trust has supported 2,000 charities and 2,000 young people and engaged 1,500 volunteers and mentors through our programmes. We are fortunate to have an extensive network of 40 corporate partners including Amazon, the BBC, BBH, Channel 4, Edelman, Facebook, Google, Guardian Media Group, ITV, Sky, Snap and Twitter who we work closely alongside to deliver our programmes.

About the role

This is an exciting and wide-ranging role for an experienced strategic and creative marketing and communications professional. We are looking for someone who has expertise in devising and implementing integrated communications and campaigns strategies to a diverse set of stakeholders. This role would suit someone with a good understanding and experience of the UK charity sector and a passion for equalities and inclusion. We are looking for a strong leader to take Media Trust’s marketing and communications to the next level engaging more charities, communities, young people and the media and creative industry with our work and impact.

Strategic communications & delivery

You will develop and deliver creative, innovative and effective multi-platform marketing, engagement and profile-raising strategies for Media Trust and all of our various programmes. This will include highlighting how our work is unique and showcasing our impact and success stories.

You must have the agility to engage with and work equally effectively across our three main stakeholder communities – (i) charities and community organisations (and the trusts and foundations who support them) who we want to participate in our capacity building programmes, (ii) young people particularly from diverse and marginalised backgrounds who are looking to break into the media and (iii) media and creative industry organisations and professionals who we want to engage as volunteers, mentors and sponsors.

You and your team will be responsible for the development and updating of our website, social media pages, annual report, impact reports, regular newsletters, corporate/promotional videos, materials for events and other marketing collateral; testing different approaches to marketing and finding the optimal practices and tools to drive traffic and engagement; and advising and reporting on KPIs and ROI of different marketing initiatives. Where Media Trust doesn’t have the in-house skills or resources in any particular area (e.g., graphic design), you will be proactive and creative about reaching out Media Trust’s industry partners to secure pro bono help and high-quality support to plug the gaps.

A multi-faceted team player, you are as confident leading strategic discussions and developing campaigns as you are writing or editing copy.

Media engagement and campaigning

The ideal candidate will have the ability to articulate how our programme work relates to key policy areas like digital inclusion, skills-based volunteering, reframing disability and other mis- or under-represented marginalised communities, strengthening regional and local community voice, and the need for a more diverse and representative media and creative sector. With experience of generating hard news angles and pitching stories, you will secure media interviews and speaking opportunities for Media Trust spokespeople to raise the profile of Media Trust’s work, position Media Trust as a thought-leader, and advocate for policy change. You will also be responsible for establishing and maintaining relationships with key influencers, journalists and policy-makers to raise and strengthen the profile of the organisation. Through our initiatives to boost the strategic comms capabilities of equalities organisations, reframe disability in the news, strengthen the voice of mental health charities and reframe climate change, Media Trust is working to enhance the representation of marginalised communities and hot button issues in the media. You will work collaboratively with our partner organisations to throw a spotlight on our work and theirs in these thematic areas.

A passion for digital

One of our key strategic priorities is digital communications skills training for the UK charity sector. Building on our successful digital skills capacity building programmes and online Resource Hub launched in 2018, in partnership with leading organisations including Google and Facebook, we will be scaling up our Digital Skills programmes in 2021 focusing on training in regions outside of London. We are looking for someone who is well versed in digital communications and believes in the potential and power of digital to enhance and transform third sector organisations and the wider sector to be resilient and transform the way they engage, support and mobilise their stakeholders.

Management duties

This role is also part of the SMT (Senior Management Team) which means you will actively contribute to setting Media Trust’s overall strategic objectives as well as management of our day to day operations, working alongside your peers on SMT.

You will provide line management to an existing Marcomms team, working with the team to develop the strategy for the department, support them to manage their workload, prioritise and schedule activities, undertaking appraisals, running regular team meetings and engaging, developing and supporting the team to maximise their potential and nurture a culture of team work, trust, flexibility and accountability. You will be experienced at building internal relationships and working collaboratively across teams and departments on joint projects, effectively managing comms plans and delivering on timelines with multiple stakeholders and partners.
