Do you want to change the world? So do we. Join us…
Salams, peace and hello… I’m Joe, the Director at The Aziz Foundation. We at The Aziz Foundation are a family charitable foundation established to support British Muslim communities to flourish and give back to our country and the wider world. Through our flagship university Scholarships programme, the Foundation has invested over £8 million into more than 700 scholarships for British Muslims pursuing postgraduate degrees as well as working with employers to facilitate work experience and internships for young British Muslims. We have also supported a wide range of charitable initiatives including funding of historic buildings, community sports, research into discrimination, inter faith activities and the engagement of British Muslims in the democratic process of our country.
Do you want an exciting comms & public affairs role that’s important for our country… keep reading… if you want an easy job… stop reading
At a time of great polarisation in our country, we need more than ever to be able to communicate well. That doesn’t mean preaching to the converted. We are non-partisan politically – we recognise that as a country we need to come together. In order to do that, the first thing we need to do is to communicate. We need to be able to engage with everyone in the country regardless of faith or ancestry.
This is a new and vital role for the Foundation, involving development and implementation of a new strategy for comms and public affairs. The aim is to ensure the Foundation can achieve its charitable objects by promoting awareness of all our activities to a range of stakeholders including Aziz Scholarship Alumni, university partners, employer partners, secular and Muslim charity partner organisations, partner organisations of other faiths, journalists, influencers, policy makers and politicians.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop a new strategy from scratch and to then lead on implementation. The Senior Comms and Public Affairs will manage external communications across all mediums and platforms for the Foundation ensuring our messages are clear, consistent and reflective of the Foundation’s charitable objects and values.
And who will you be working alongside? Only the best people…
Our website lists all the team and you’re welcome to LinkedIn stalk us. Having worked in the charity sector for almost 30 years, I can honestly say this is the most hard-working team I’ve ever been a part of. You can expect a really supportive, hard-working team alongside you that pitch in when you need any help or support. We look for solutions, not barriers. We will expect the same of you. It’s a collegiate team with high mutual expectations. Our board is also very hands on so you will certainly engage with the Aziz family as part of your role.
