Jobs in Longfield
Location - Hybrid (based at home or local community) with regular travel in the South of England
Are you a communications professional looking for an exciting and rewarding new role? Emmaus UK is recruiting for a Regional Communications Officer to help support people on their journey out of homelessness.
About Emmaus
Emmaus (pronounced em-may-us) is a movement of charities that empowers people to overcome homelessness. We provide a stable home and tailored, life-changing support for people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. By focusing on each person’s strengths, we help people rebuild their lives and work towards the future they want to create.
As part of a nationwide network of Emmaus charities, we provide skills, training and work experience to help people achieve their goals and regain independence.
Together, we are ending homelessness one person at a time.
About the role
The Regional Communications Officer role is an exciting and varied opportunity to work with Emmaus communities across the South of the UK, helping to raise their profile and engage supporters.
You will work closely with up to four Emmaus communities to identify their communications needs and deliver a mix of activity to help them achieve their goals. As part of a wider team, you will also share ideas and build on each other’s experience to maximise PR, digital and communications opportunities.
This is a hybrid role, offering the flexibility to work from home or from within an Emmaus community.
Building and maintaining strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders will be key to this role. Regular travel to your allocated communities is essential, typically at least once a week, so we are looking for someone based in or around London. You will also attend quarterly team meetings, usually held in Birmingham, although these may occasionally take place elsewhere in the UK and may require an overnight stay.
This is a part-time role, Monday to Friday, with a minimum of 22.5 hours a week (three days) and the potential for the role to be four days a week (30 hours), to be confirmed at interview.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for someone with a strong communications skillset and at least two years’ experience in a busy communications, public relations or marketing role. While not essential, knowledge of homelessness and the charity sector would be an advantage.
Creativity and passion are essential. You will have a broad range of communications skills, enjoy seeing your ideas come to life and be keen to continue developing your experience within a national homelessness charity.
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys working with different people and communities. The successful candidate will be organised, adaptable and able to manage multiple projects, relationships and campaigns.
If you are passionate about making a difference and creating long-lasting impact, this is the perfect time to join Emmaus UK.
What we offer
· Salary: £18,696 (3 days)/£24,928 (4 days)
· Working hours: Part-time minimum of 22.5 hours a week (three days), and the potential for the role to be four days a week (30 hours)
· Contract: Permanent
· Pension: Stakeholder pension with employer contribution
· Annual leave: 25 days + Bank Holidays + 3 concessionary days leave

Our work on brand strategy
We work with organisations helping to shape a better society, from improving school food and protecting children in war to conserving the ocean.
Our role is to help them express their value more clearly. The issue is not the strength of their work, but how they talk about it: the positioning is too broad, the language too abstract, or the message too full of jargon to connect.
That matters because our clients need to reach more than one audience. They may need to influence policymakers while also building trust with donors, partners, media and others around them.
We help clients define what sets them apart and turn that into a brand that people can understand and respond to. In practice, that means giving them language they can actually use in the policy world, not just something theoretical. It helps them speak about their work clearly and credibly, stand out from similar organisations, and stay on top of mind with the people who shape decisions, so they are better placed to influence policy.
The job
We want a creative brand strategist who treats a brand as a functional tool.
You will help clients, from think tanks to charities to research organisations, move beyond technical sector speak by building end-to-end strategies rooted in research but delivered with a unique voice. You will create the positioning statements and the overall brand architecture that give these organisations a distinct personality, building on their core values to make sure they feel authentic.
We want someone who won’t shy away from testing whether a client should be bold and authoritative, or lead with an emotional narrative to influence the right people.
What we don’t want is someone comfortable with the bland stuff. We are not looking for someone who imposes their own idea of what a brand should be. The best brand work comes from listening closely to how clients describe what they do, helping them refine and articulate it, and shaping that into something clear and distinctive. The brands you create need to go beyond words; you will create a brand that helps clients live it in practice.
What we are looking for:
In addition to the above, you will have:
-
A background in running brand audits, including stakeholder interviews, competitor research, and workshops to identify where a brand sits now and where it needs to go.
-
Skill in translating technical policy language into a clear, creative written brand strategy that a client’s communications and design teams can use.
-
Confidence in turning strategy into actionable briefs for designers for visual identity development.
-
Experience serving as the main point of contact for clients, managing their expectations, and offering constructive pushback when necessary.
If you feel like you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, please don’t let that stop you. If you love the sound of this role and have a strong foundation in developing brand strategies, we would love to hear from you.
Note: This is an immediate hire. We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so please don't wait to apply.
