Teens Unite is leading the way in youth cancer support.
We’re an energetic, ambitious and dynamic charity improving the lives of 13-24-year-olds living with, and beyond, cancer. We’re not here to cure cancer. We’re here to empower young people to rebuild their lives and thrive beyond a diagnosis.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join the team. We’re growing rapidly, working alongside major brands and global organisations – from YouTube to Warner Bros. - as well as influencers and celebrity ambassadors, from the Sidemen to Grace Andrews. We’re also growing our media presence across everything from podcasts and radio including Capital FM, all to raise awareness of our work and generate the vital support needed to reach more young people.
From leading influential campaigns and securing media opportunities, to demonstrating our impact to corporate partners and supporters and acting as a guardian of the Teens Unite brand, this role is about amplifying our voice at every level. You’ll help ensure our message and purpose are clear, our impact is seen and understood, and more people are inspired to support our work.
And we’re about to embark on our most ambitious chapter yet.
We’re building the first purpose-built retreat in England for young people overcoming cancer. This pioneering, first-of- its-kind development will transform the support available to young people for generations to come.
Who you are:
You’re creative and proactive, with a talent for compelling storytelling, and a special way with words - whether it’s pitching a media story, keeping supporters updated on the difference they’ve made, or creating a campaign that turns heads, stops scrolling and encourages people to click the donate button.
You’ll seek new opportunities, spot potential and think differently about how Teens Unite can continue to grow its voice, influence and reach.
You’ll be excited by the opportunity to help take Teens Unite to the next level, finding new and innovative ways to raise awareness, build our profile and ensure more people understand the difference our work makes to young people living with, and beyond, cancer.
At the same time, you’ll understand the importance of a strong and consistent brand. You’ll have the confidence to push boundaries and explore new ideas while ensuring everything we communicate remains true to the Teens Unite voice, personality, values and brand guidelines.
Driven by purpose, you’ll be excited by the opportunity to use your communications skills to drive real change - ensuring the voices of the young people we support are heard, inspiring more people to support our work, and positioning Teens Unite as a leading charity with influence and recognition far beyond the youth cancer sector.
The role:
This role is about taking our communications to the next level and ensuring the Teens Unite voice is heard louder than ever.
You’ll be our go-to creative for compelling copy and standout design across print, online and digital marketing. From our website and newsletters to campaigns and supporter communications, you’ll bring the Teens Unite voice, purpose and personality to life - creating meaningful, thought-provoking communications that capture attention and inspire action.
You’ll keep our supporters motivated, engaged and connected to the difference they make. From demonstrating impact to the major corporate partners we work alongside, to sharing the heartwarming stories our regular donors want to hear, you’ll ensure everyone who makes our support possible feels recognised, valued and connected to our mission.
You’ll secure press opportunities through building strong relationships with journalists and media outlets, and understanding what makes a captivating news story, raising awareness of Teens Unite and the issues facing young people living with, and beyond, cancer.
You’ll support the delivery of integrated marketing campaigns that support our strategic objectives, from Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month to Mental Health Awareness Week - finding creative ways to reach new audiences, start conversations and drive action.
And as we embark on our most ambitious chapter yet, you’ll also play an important role in raising the profile of our capital appeal. You’ll help build momentum, generate exposure and increase supporter engagement as we bring England’s first purpose-built retreat for young people overcoming cancer, to life.
