Jobs for the Mental Health sector in North west

Beat’s advocacy programme supports people affected by eating disorders, and their carers, to access the treatment, information and support they are entitled to within national guidance. Too often, people face barriers to care, delays in accessing treatment, or decisions that do not appear to reflect relevant guidance. The advocacy programme aims to help people challenge these barriers, understand their rights and options, and feel more confident to advocate for themselves or those they care for.

The Advocacy Coordinator will play an important role in delivering and developing this work. This will include providing direct advocacy support, working closely with Beat’s Helpline and volunteer teams, supporting self-advocacy through resources and letter writing tools, and helping to identify wider themes or systemic issues that may be affecting access to care. The postholder will need to combine empathy and strong communication skills with attention to detail, confidence in working with guidance and processes, and the ability to challenge decisions constructively where needed. This is a varied role that requires sensitivity, tenacity and a strong commitment to ensuring that people affected by eating disorders are listened to, taken seriously and able to access the care they need.

The closing date for this position is 8th July at 9am, however Beat has the right to close this position at any time, so please do submit your application early to avoid any disappointment.

If you are a creative storyteller driven to make mental health advocacy unforgettable, we want to hear from you.

About Us

United for Global Mental Health is dedicated to creating a world that enables good mental health for all. We draw on our expertise in policy, advocacy, and financing to work with organisations who share our commitment to driving mental health up the political agenda - and securing additional funding for mental health at national and global level.

Key Responsibilities

1. High-End Video & Audio Production

The opportunity
We are seeking a structured and proactive Communications Officer to play a vital role in the day-to-day delivery of our global communications. From managing our content calendar and compiling email campaigns to updating website content, you will support our small, dynamic team in continuously improving the quality, impact, and consistency of our outputs for United for Global Mental Health (UnitedGMH) and the Global Mental Health Action Network (GMHAN). 

About Us
United for Global Mental Health is dedicated to creating a world that enables good mental health for all. We draw on our expertise in policy, advocacy, and financing to work with organisations who share our commitment to driving mental health up the political agenda - and securing additional funding for mental health at national and global level. We founded and act as the secretariat for the Global Mental Health Action Network, an open coalition of mental health professionals of over 10,000 individuals and organisations across 170 countries. 

About you 
Our ideal candidate is a dependable, detail-oriented communicator who genuinely enjoys the practical delivery of communications outputs. You are highly organised, skilled at managing multiple tasks, and comfortable keeping the gears of a busy communications function turning. You understand how to tailor messaging for diverse global audiences and geographies. Ideally, you bring experience working within an international non-governmental organisation (INGO) or global health context.

The role 
Key components of the role include: 

• Social media content development - collaborate with internal subject specialists to produce consistent and frequent on-brand written and visual content for social channels, in support of brand and advocacy goals. You’ll use Canva, Adobe Creative Suite and AgoraPulse for this. 
• Email - develop, write and send UnitedGMH’s regular email newsletter, working with internal staff to source news, updates and relevant content tailored for email subscribers.
• Website development - develop, maintain and update content for the UnitedGMH website - including uploading content and editing pages.
• Social media channel and community management - lead on day-to-day management and posting on UnitedGMH social media channels, including LinkedIn and Pinterest. Manage paid social campaigns where required. Use monitoring tools to manage social media comments (organic and paid). 
• Brand guardian: Be a steward of the UnitedGMH brand, helping to ensure consistent application of visual identity and tone of voice across all external organisational outputs, maintaining high standards of design.
• Monitoring, evaluation, and reporting - create regular analytic reports for social, website and email channels. 
• Editorial planning and communications calendar management - lead on the maintenance of the organisation’s communications calendar, ensuring content across channels is planned-in-advance of key advocacy moments. 
• Team support - support the communications team through project management, meeting management, processing supplier invoices, keeping journalist lists up-to-date, and other responsibilities where needed. 
• Ad-hoc support for the Global Mental Health Action Network - you’ll also provide a supporting function as needed for the GMHAN team, including tasks related to website and social management, plus others where needed. 

Requirements 

• Digital Channel Expertise: Proven experience managing website Content Management Systems (e.g., WordPress, Squarespace), diverse social media platforms, and email marketing software (e.g., Mailchimp).
• Exceptional Copywriting: A skilled writer with a track record of crafting engaging copy for varied audiences. Note: We want an authentic writer who cares deeply about the words they craft, rather than someone whose first instinct is to rely on LLMs/AI to generate content.
• Editorial Rigour: Strong research and proofreading skills with an uncompromising eye for detail.
• Organisation & Delivery: Highly organised with experience providing team administrative support and the ability to prioritise a busy workload under tight deadlines.
• Tools & Systems: Comfortable utilising digital project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Trello, Google Drive).
• Mission Alignment: A genuine interest in global mental health, international development, and political advocacy.
• Interpersonal Skills: Strong relationship management skills, with the flexibility to work effectively with a globally distributed team.
• Travel: Willingness to travel internationally to support at global events up to 5 times per year for up to a week at a time. 

Desirable 

• Experience working in an advocacy / international NGO environment within a fast-paced globally distributed staff team
