Job description

Media and News Lead

Location: London

Salary: £67,674.55


12 month fixed-term contract

Full-Time, 35  hours per week

About the Role:

Want to put the issues that matter to working people at the centre of the national conversation? Ready to help shape the stories that dominate the news agenda?

We are looking for a dynamic comms professional to join its busy press office.

In this fast-paced role you’ll develop and deliver media plans across print, digital and broadcast. You’ll jump on breaking news, turn complex issues into crisp copy and deliver press releases, quotes and op-eds that land.

You’ll help keep the General Secretary and senior leaders firmly in the spotlight with a strong, positive media profile.

You’ll also team up with policy, campaigns and social colleagues to shape compelling stories, build journalist relationships and find the case studies that bring our campaigns to life.

You’ll need:

  • Experience in a busy press office or a newsroom
  • Outstanding writing skills and sharp news judgement
  • Strong knowledge of UK print, broadcast and digital media
  • The ability to work at pace and respond quickly to events
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • An understanding of key policy issues and the political landscape
  • Knowledge of trade unions and commitment to our values, equality and antiracism
  • Willingness to take part in an out-of-hours media rota and occasional overnight stays

Why Join Us?

Here, you'll be at the heart of the trade union movement, helping shape and deliver events that make a national impact.

You’ll work with passionate colleagues in a fast-paced, values-driven environment where your expertise and leadership will be recognised and valued.
