Join our team as Head of Communications!
Location: Remote within the countries where WeMove Europe is registered to work (UK, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Poland)
Preferred Start Date: January 2027
Application Deadline: September 24 2026
Employment type: Permanent contract
WeMove Europe is a community of people united by a vision of a better Europe. We run campaigns that empower citizens to take action and influence decision-makers at the European level.
We’re looking for a Head of Communications who will combine communications expertise and an innovative approach to storytelling to engage hundreds of thousands of Europeans in meaningful action. This role reports to the Campaigns Director and has line management responsibilities.
You’ll work closely with our campaigns team and a social media manager to adapt and enhance campaigns through media, partnerships and content. This role works across multiple channels. You don’t need to be a tactical expert in all of them, but you need to be a strong strategic thinker who can carefully consider the role of each channel and asset. You will be as comfortable setting the strategic direction as you are delivering: pitching a story, briefing a journalist, running influencer outreach.
What you’ll do:
Advise on and support the development of our campaigns by creating and inputting into campaign narratives and communications plans
Work alongside campaigners and social media manager to oversee and/or produce complementary content that builds pressure on the target: reactive posts, video, and assets timed to campaign moments
Liaise with media contacts and external agencies to find appropriate opportunities to amplify our campaigns across European and national media
Build partnerships with influencers, creators, and independent activists to enhance the power and impact of our campaigns
Support the campaigns team to strengthen their storytelling skills and identify compelling storytelling opportunities in their partnerships, such as media hooks
Build and sustain contact with journalists, produce press releases and briefings, keep our media database accurate and current across our priority countries
Oversee and refresh our social media presence, line managing and coaching a social media manager.
Stay close to the news cycle and to what is working on social in order to identify moments that put our campaign in front of the people we need to move
Contribute to defining the success measures for communications, including social media KPIs, and oversee activity to meet them
Advise senior leadership on communications and reputational considerations, including crisis communications approach
Ensure consistency of messaging and tone across all public communications.
The WeMove Europe team works in a culture of togetherness and passion for our issues and determination to win, so from time to time, you will be expected to perform activities outside of your normal role.
Who we’re looking for:
Essential skills:
Storytelling: You can translate complex policy or campaign issues into compelling stories for different audiences, and generate creative news angles from unlikely material or challenging subject matter. You can write inspiring, clear, and impactful copy in English.
Delivery: You have experience in at least one of the following areas:
Media relations: Securing proactive and impactful media coverage which influenced policy or moved the needle - in other words, which has had an impact beyond raising profile or raising awareness.
Influencer partnerships: Building relationships and impactful collaborations with influencers, content creators or other content partners.
Content creation: Producing social media content which mobilised people to take action.
Audiences: You have experience of engaging new audiences through communications channels, and you are able to use audience insights to influence your approach.
Analysis: You are data-driven and results-oriented, eager to test, learn, and continuously improve your content and communications.
Collaboration: You thrive in collaborative, international teams, eager to learn from colleagues and share your own expertise.
Coaching and training: You can design and deliver practical training that changes how colleagues work, not just how much they know, and you enjoy building capability in others rather than holding it yourself.
Important criteria:
Values: You are deeply committed to systemic change in Europe, aligned with values of solidarity, sustainability, justice, and democracy. You are passionate about empowering people to realize their own power and become agents of change.
Languages: You are fluent in English
Travel: You are willing to travel within Europe when needed (at least 3 times a year)
Experience level: You should have five years of relevant experience for this post.
Nice to have
You are familiar with a digital-first campaigns model, though you don’t necessarily need to have worked in this context before.
Have recent experience of using video to tell complex stories and reach new audiences.
You don’t have to have line management experience, but it could be beneficial.
Knowledge of the Brussels press landscape alongside national media
Other European languages are an added benefit.

We are looking for experienced social workers to help take the Weekenders programme into its next chapter. You will join a small, ambitious charity and play a central role in growing a relational, child-focused programme across England.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Salary: starting from £40,000, subject to experience
Hours: full time, 37.5 hours per week
Location: home-based within England, with regular team co-working and travel
Contracts: one permanent post and two 18-month fixed-term posts
Flexibility: occasional evening or weekend delivery, usually around once per month
Travel: across England, including occasional overnight stays; reasonable expenses are covered
ABOUT NOW FOSTER
Now Foster brings together social work, service design, lived experience and innovation to transform fostering in England. Our vision is to bring many more wonderful people into fostering so that more children and young people can experience stable, meaningful relationships with caring adults.
We are a small team with big ambitions. We value creativity, collaboration, learning and continuous improvement, and we work with partners who share our determination to do better for children and families.
ABOUT WEEKENDERS
Weekenders is our flagship programme. We recruit and support weekend foster carers – known as Weekenders – who build regular, long-term relationships with children and young people supported by local authorities. It is about showing up, making a difference and becoming an adult a young person can count on.
The programme is entering an exciting period of growth. We are expanding our partnerships with Regional Care Cooperatives, Fostering Hubs and local authorities across England, currently including London, the South West, North West and North East.
THE ROLE – Lead delivery, develop people and stay close to practice
As a Weekenders Programme Manager, you will turn our ambition into consistently excellent delivery. You will lead the day-to-day support of applicants across an agreed portfolio of areas, making sure prospective Weekenders receive a warm, responsive and motivational experience and that our partners can rely on us to deliver what we have agreed.
This is a people-management and delivery role with a strong connection to practice. You will line-manage Journey Guides, manage a network of independent social workers (ISWs), lead our prep group training and undertake some intro chats yourself.
The role does not carry a statutory caseload. It does carry real responsibility for safeguarding, practice quality, operational oversight and relationships across a growing, geographically distributed programme.
Delivery Leadership: Lead programme delivery
Take day-to-day responsibility for Weekenders delivery across an agreed portfolio of Fostering Hubs and local authority partners.
Turn partnership agreements and local processes into clear applicant journeys, with roles, handovers and timescales understood by everyone involved.
Plan capacity across Journey Guides, ISWs, prep group training and your own direct work so that delivery keeps pace with demand.
Monitor applicant progress, identify delays or risks early and work with colleagues and partners to find practical solutions.
Maintain a consistent Now Foster experience across regions while adapting thoughtfully to local contexts.
People Management: Manage and develop Journey Guides
Provide reflective one-to-one and group supervision, clear objectives and timely feedback.
Allocate work fairly, monitor workloads and create the structure needed for responsive applicant support.
Coach Journey Guides in relationship-based, strengths-based and motivational conversations, using observation, role play and practice review where helpful.
Support sound judgement, safe practice and professional boundaries, addressing performance or wellbeing concerns early and constructively.
Build a connected team culture in which people share learning, ask for help and take ownership.
Practice Oversight: Manage ISWs and assure practice quality
Build and maintain a reliable pool of qualified, registered ISWs to undertake initial home visits and teach on prep group training days.
Coordinate ISW recruitment, onboarding, availability, allocation and briefing in line with our safer recruitment and practice arrangements.
Set clear expectations for the quality, timeliness and tone of home visits, written outputs, training and feedback.
Review quality, provide constructive feedback and address concerns promptly, while forecasting capacity and arranging cover.
Training: Plan, staff and lead prep group training
Own the planning and delivery of prep group training across programme areas, including schedules, venues or online delivery, materials, communications and staffing.
Facilitate and teach on prep groups, modelling inclusive, relational and reflective practice.
Brief and support ISW co-facilitators so sessions are coherent, well-paced and grounded in the realities of fostering.
Make sure applicants can reflect meaningfully on children's needs, safer caring, trauma-informed care, cultural matching and working with fostering services.
Ensure observations and training feedback are recorded sensitively and on time, and use feedback to strengthen future delivery.
Relationships: Stay close to applicants and partners
Undertake some intro chats, particularly where additional experience, judgement or continuity is needed.
Step into complex applicant situations or difficult conversations without taking over work appropriately held by Journey Guides.
Develop trusted operational relationships with Fostering Hubs, Regional Care Cooperatives, local authority fostering teams and other partners.
Work through differences or blockages constructively, combining persistence with curiosity about other people's pressures and perspectives.
Programme Addurance: Safeguarding, quality and improvement
Promote a strong safeguarding culture and ensure concerns are recognised, recorded and escalated appropriately.
Maintain accurate, timely records and use pipeline data, feedback and practice observations to understand performance and improve delivery.
Contribute to the development of tools, guidance, communications and digital workflows as Weekenders grows.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR – Experience, judgement and a strongly relational approach
Essential
You will need a recognised social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. Beyond that, we are looking for someone who can combine strong practice judgement with people leadership and operational oversight.
You will thrive in this role if you have
People-management experience – line-managing, supervising or developing staff, including giving feedback and supporting performance and wellbeing.
Operational leadership – experience leading a service, programme or complex workflow with multiple people, deadlines and handovers.
Children's services experience – in fostering, children's social care or a closely related setting, with a sound understanding of safeguarding and professional accountability.
Training confidence – experience planning and delivering engaging adult learning, workshops or group training.
Partnership skills – experience building productive relationships across organisational boundaries and working through operational challenges.
A relational approach – able to hold warm, purposeful and appropriately challenging conversations with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
Strong organisation and judgement – able to prioritise, delegate, manage dependencies and recognise what needs closer oversight or escalation.
Digital and data confidence – comfortable using CRM and workflow systems, interpreting delivery information and turning insight into action.
The way you work matters
Children first – you keep children's needs, relationships and long-term outcomes at the centre of decisions.
Warm and reflective – you build genuine relationships, remain curious about your own impact and welcome feedback.

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is the UK’s leading patient charity dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by pulmonary fibrosis. Our mission is underpinned by values of compassionate, bold, expert and collaborative. We believe in creating a supportive environment in which both our employees and beneficiaries can thrive.
Founded in 2013 by people affected by PF and clinicians, APF has grown into a respected national charity rooted in community and evidence. We provide trusted information and support, help a growing network of support groups, campaign to improve access to care and invest in research to bring hope of new treatments. APF strives to be an organisation of equity and inclusion, welcoming people from all backgrounds – our team and volunteers aim to reflect the diverse communities we serve.
We have just launched an ambitious five-year strategy (2025–2030), co-created with the PF community, which focuses on expanding support, transforming care, and accelerating research. This strategy marks a step change with a clearer focus, stronger delivery model and greater ambition to ensure no one faces pulmonary fibrosis alone.
Role Purpose
We are looking for a Senior Information and Education Manager to lead our patient information and education work, ensuring people affected by pulmonary fibrosis can access clear, accurate, trusted and accessible information when they need it most.
This is a strategic and hands-on role. You will shape APF’s information and education offer across digital, print and live formats, develop and improve patient information, lead a review of our website content, and ensure our resources remain evidence-based, accessible and shaped by lived experience.

This is an opportunity to play a leading role in ensuring people affected by pulmonary fibrosis have the information, education and support they need throughout their journey.

Grade: 4
Salary: £44,080 per year
Position Type: Full-time, 37.5 hours week, Permanent (flexible working considered)
Responsible to: Senior Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager
Direct reports: None
Location: Remote (UK), within reasonable commuting distance to London to accommodate regular donor meetings. This may be up to once a week. Additionally, there will be two trips per year to our HQ in Truro, Cornwall.
ROLE PURPOSE
Sitting within our Philanthropy & Partnerships team, you will play a pivotal role in securing the philanthropic support that makes ShelterBox's work possible. By identifying, qualifying and developing major donor opportunities from our supporter base, networks and wider community, you will help connect more people with our mission to ensure no one is without shelter after disaster.
At the heart of this role is building and strengthening the major donor pipeline. You will proactively analyse data, identify high-potential prospects, uncover valuable connections and work with colleagues across the organisation to create opportunities for supporters to deepen their engagement with ShelterBox. Through strategic prospect research, qualification and relationship building, you will help move individuals from initial interest to meaningful philanthropic partnerships.
Working closely with colleagues across Philanthropy & Partnerships, senior leadership, volunteers and key stakeholders, you will develop and implement tailored cultivation plans that create pathways to giving and maximise the long-term potential of prospective donors. You will support the delivery of bespoke engagement opportunities, proposals and communications drawing on ShelterBox's powerful humanitarian mission, compelling stories and tangible impact to engage diverse audiences and inspire long-term philanthropic support.
You will also play a key role in coordinating the Philanthropy Advisory Board and supporting events and activities that help expand networks, generate introductions and unlock opportunities to engage prospective major donors with ShelterBox's work.
Through strategic pipeline development, relationship building and effective use of data, insight and networks, you will help grow a thriving community of future major donors whose investment enables families affected by disaster, conflict and climate-related crises to access shelter, safety and a foundation for recovery.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for a proactive and strategic fundraiser with a talent for identifying opportunities, building relationships and developing a strong pipeline of future major donors.
You will be naturally curious and enjoy analysing data, researching prospects and uncovering opportunities to deepen engagement with existing supporters. Equally comfortable networking with supporters, volunteers, senior stakeholders, and professional contacts, you will be confident initiating conversations, and skilled at connecting people to ShelterBox's work whilst creating meaningful pathways towards philanthropy.
You will have excellent communication, influencing and project management skills, enabling you to coordinate multiple prospects, cultivation activities and stakeholder relationships simultaneously. Highly organised and confident using CRM systems, supporter insight and prospect research tools, you will be experienced in managing and progressing a pipeline, ensuring opportunities are effectively qualified, cultivated and moved through the donor journey.
This is an exciting opportunity for a major donor fundraiser who enjoys opening doors, creating new opportunities, building meaningful supporter engagement and converting warm prospects into committed philanthropic supporters whose generosity will help families affected by disaster.
