Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.

Do you have a significant track record of generating impactful media coverage in support of influencing objectives?

Do you also have experience of delivering engaging public-facing online communications?

And are you passionate about supporting people to share their stories, in their ways?

If so, we would like to hear from you for this Media and Communications Adviser role.

The Role 

Oxfam is looking for a Media and Communications Adviser to create and deliver proactive and reactive media output in Scotland and Wales. The postholder, or a combination of part-time post-holders covering each nation, will primarily generate proactive and reactive coverage in support of Oxfam’s twin Global Challenges, climate justice and action to better value and reward roles disproportionately undertaken by women, as well as Oxfam’s work in fragile and humanitarian contexts.

The postholder will also deliver media work in support of Oxfam’s brand and fundraising objectives. This will require closely aligning media and communications output with Oxfam’s influencing priorities, while maintaining strategic relationships with national and regional media. The postholder  will liaise closely with colleagues in Scotland and Wales, as well as across the UK and globally.

You’ll work with people with lived experience of poverty to raise their voices in a safe, sensitive and effective way, while undertaking effective partnership working and delivering impactful supporter communications, particularly via social media.

What we are looking for

Our Media and Communications Adviser covering Scotland and Wales – or a combination of part-time post-holders covering each nation – will have strong experience of media relations with a track record of devising and implementing effective communications strategies, particularly in support of influencing objectives.

You will have excellent, accurate and impactful writing skills for a range of audiences and an ability to work effectively under deadline pressure while managing your workload with minimal supervision. You will be flexible, proactive and capable of exercising sound independent judgement. You will have a robust understanding of Scottish, Welsh and UK political contexts, and how they interact, as well as strong experience of impactful website and social media management.

You’ll underpin this rich skill set with a passion for, and knowledge of, domestic and international poverty issues and an understanding of gender and diversity.

Please note: this role is currently performed by a single post-holder covering Scotland and Wales; however, we also welcome applications from candidates who would prefer to perform the role on a part-time basis in relation to Scotland or Wales respectively. If this applies to your application, please make this clear within your covering letter.

We offer

This role will give you the opportunity to work as part of small and agile teams in Scotland and Wales with a substantial track record of achieving change. This is a role where no two days are the same. Your media and supporter communications will directly support Oxfam’s advocacy, fundraising and brand priorities in both nations.

You will have a substantial chance to help shape Oxfam’s public profile while working alongside passionate and skilled colleagues across the UK and globally on issues that really matter to people’s lives.

We believe flexible working is key to building the Oxfam of the future, so we’re open to talking through the type of flexible arrangements which might work for you.
