This is not an advisory role. The charity is an ambitious, fast paced organisation and communications is at the heart of the change - not an add on. You’ll be hands-on, collaborative and enabling — helping others find their voice, telling stories with integrity, and building belief in what’s possible when communities are trusted to lead.
The successful candidate will be a thoughtful and ambitious communications leader who cares deeply about place, people and power. This is a rare opportunity to shape the story of a growing, national organisation while staying rooted in the lived reality of local change. You will bring experience of leading communications in complex or mission-driven environments and will have strong written and editorial skills, with the ability to adapt tone for different audiences. You will also bring experience of having worked with digital channels and understanding what drives engagement.
To apply please submit your CV and a two page supporting statement, preferably in Microsoft Word/PDF format.
