Job description

Penificent is a creative youth engagement organisation using comics and storytelling to tackle real-life issues such as mental health, youth violence, identity, and financial literacy.

We are looking for a proactive freelancer to help generate real conversations with schools, youth organisations, and potential sponsors through targeted outreach and campaign support.

This is a hands-on role focused on creating opportunities and building relationships, not just posting content.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Sending targeted outreach (email + LinkedIn) to schools, councils, and partners
  • Identifying and engaging decision-makers (PSHE leads, youth services, CSR teams)
  • Supporting messaging for campaigns and partnership opportunities
  • Repurposing content into simple posts (LinkedIn / Instagram)
  • Tracking responses and identifying warm leads

Current campaign focus:

  • Launching a youth-led comic project featuring a 16-year-old neurodiverse boxing champion
  • Securing sponsorship for development and print distribution
  • Promoting Penificent’s school workshops and subscription programmes
  • Supporting the rollout of “Knifeboy”, a youth-focused comic addressing peer pressure and violence

What we’re looking for:

  • Someone confident with outreach, messaging, or marketing
  • Strong written communication skills
  • Comfortable using LinkedIn and email for outreach
  • Self-driven and able to deliver within a short timeframe

Contract details:

  • £500 fixed project fee
  • Duration: 2–3 weeks (with potential for extension)
  • Remote / hybrid with occasional London-based meetings if required
  • Flexible working (approx. 2–4 hours per day, results-focused)

What success looks like:

  • Consistent outreach activity
  • Meaningful responses from schools or organisations
  • Conversations booked with potential partners or sponsors

This is an opportunity to contribute to a growing social impact organisation using creativity to create real change in young people’s lives.

We are looking to move quickly.
