Prospectus is delighted to be recruiting for a Head of Communications for a charity that works primarily with communities experiencing deprivation to unlock their potential and build a flourishing future.
The Head of Communications will lead their communications nationally and support the development of strong, coherent communications in the places they work. This means holding the big picture — narrative, brand, positioning and influence — while also getting stuck into delivery: writing content, shaping campaigns, managing digital channels, and working closely with teams and partners on the ground. This is not an advisory role. The charity is an ambitious, fast paced organisation and communications is at the heart of the change - not an add on. You’ll be hands-on, collaborative and enabling — helping others find their voice, telling stories with integrity, and building belief in what’s possible when communities are trusted to lead.
The successful candidate will be a thoughtful and ambitious communications leader who cares deeply about place, people and power. This is a rare opportunity to shape the story of a growing, national organisation while staying rooted in the lived reality of local change. You will bring experience of leading communications in complex or mission-driven environments and will have strong written and editorial skills, with the ability to adapt tone for different audiences. You will also bring experience of having worked with digital channels and understanding what drives engagement.
To apply please submit your CV and a two page supporting statement, preferably in Microsoft Word/PDF format. The statement should outline your motivation for joining the charity and why you feel you would be a good fit for this role. You should also demonstrate your experience and skillset with examples relating to the Experience and Skills section in the Appointment Brief.
As a specialist Recruitment Practice Prospectus are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Prospectus invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.
