Entry level jobs for the Disability sector

Every day, Centre 404 works alongside people with learning disabilities and their families so they can live fuller, more connected lives. The voices, stories and impact behind that work matter — and we’re looking for a Senior Communications Officer to help make sure they are heard with care, clarity and purpose.

Centre 404 is a community‑rooted health and social care charity in North London, where values shape practice and communications are central to our impact. This is an exciting opportunity to take ownership of our communications across digital channels, campaigns and publications, shaping how Centre 404 is seen and understood.

Working closely with the Director of Children, Young People, Families & Engagement, the Fundraising Manager and colleagues across the organisation, you’ll play a key role in strengthening engagement, supporting fundraising, and ensuring lived experience sits at the heart of everything we communicate.

About the role

• Lead day‑to‑day delivery of Centre 404’s communications across digital channels, campaigns and publications
• Maintain an engaging, accessible and consistent presence across our website, social media and e‑communications
• Create high‑quality, audience‑focused content that brings our work and impact to life
• Handle stories and case studies sensitively and ethically, in line with safeguarding and confidentiality standards
• Maintain and develop Centre 404’s brand and tone of voice, ensuring warmth, clarity and consistency
• Deliver communications campaigns and key publications, including our annual impact report
• Work closely with fundraising colleagues to support supporter engagement and donor communications
• Provide light‑touch media and PR support, including drafting press releases when appropriate
• Act as a trusted point of contact for communications advice across the organisation
• Use feedback and insight to continually improve the quality and effectiveness of our communications
• Manage an agreed communications budget and ensure value for money

This is a standalone role with a high degree of autonomy, offering the chance to make a real difference in a values‑led organisation.

About you

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience working in a communications role, delivering activity across multiple channels
• Is an excellent writer with strong editorial judgement and attention to detail
• Understands digital communications, including websites, social media and e‑communications
• Can translate complex or sensitive information into clear, engaging and appropriate content
• Has a strong understanding of accessible, inclusive and audience‑centred communications
• Is comfortable managing their own workload and priorities while working collaboratively
• Brings a thoughtful, ethical and emotionally intelligent approach to storytelling
• Shares Centre 404’s commitment to respect, inclusion, dignity and safeguarding

Experience in the charity, health or social care sector — particularly producing publications or supporting fundraising communications — would be an advantage, but is not essential.

Why work for Centre 404?

At Centre 404, values aren’t just words — they shape how we work every day. We offer a supportive, collaborative environment where your work will have a genuine impact on people’s lives. You’ll have the opportunity to shape our communications, grow your skills and contribute to a mission you can truly believe in.

Centre 404 is a warm, values‑driven organisation with a rich history of supporting people with learning disabilities for over 75 years. We are collaborative, ambitious, and committed to creating life‑changing impact for families across North London. We will provide a detailed induction and on-going training and support. We are also committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults at risk and we are looking to recruit people who share these values. All offers of employment are subject to a relevant DBS check, proof of eligibility to work in the UK and satisfactory references covering a five-year period.

We are dedicated to providing a meaningful and rewarding work environment, as well as offering a range of perks and benefits for our staff to enjoy.
