The Children's Society has been helping children and young people in this country for over 140 years. We campaign to change policy. We work to change systems that are set up to stand in the way of young people. And we run local services that support children directly when the policies and systems have failed them. We're here for children, every step of the way.
This is a rare opportunity to join our Social Impact Domain until July 2025 - covering parental leave. In Social Impact, our focus is on elevating young people's voices; addressing public perceptions of the challenges young people face; and using our brand to attract and mobilise support. Your role is critical to developing bold and powerful communications, carving out a unique brand identity which is brought to life by authentic storytelling that inspires, motivates and mobilises our audiences.
The role
As our Lead Creative, you'll be responsible for evolving a distinctive brand identity and personality, overseeing the development and production of creative collateral and assets across all channels and formats to bring our brand to life for our audiences.
We're looking for a dynamic creative leader, who can apply audience insights to develop brave, innovative and powerful creative propositions and concepts that deliver impact via cross-platform, multi-channel campaigns.
Us
At The Children's Society we have a bold vision and ambition for children and young people. We're throwing all we have at overturning the damaging decline in children's wellbeing by the end of 2030.

With natural creative flair, great planning and prioritisation, and a track-record in delivering excellence, you care about promoting inclusive representation and creating opportunities for co-creation for those with lived experience.
To achieve our goal, we've got to approach things differently. You'll be brave and ambitious - helping to stretch our brand and supporting people in a test and learn environment - someone who makes failure an option. You'll inspire colleagues to push the boundaries of possibility, and your vision and ambition comes with a healthy sense of what's possible with what we have available to us today, knowing what 'good-enough' looks like!
You'll work alongside some wonderful talented people who will inspire and motivate you every day. You'll be brave, take risks and aim to exceed expectations; encouraging colleagues to do the same. We can promise you that everything we do here matters. If reading this got you excited, we'd love to hear from you...
