About upReach
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because right now a student from disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.

About You
Can you use your expert media relations and proven line management skills to help put nature into recovery with one of the UK’s best-loved environmental charities?
We are small. but brilliant national media team creates billions of opportunities to ‘see’ our work in print, radio, online and on screen each year – from our commentary on Government policy to stories about our work on the ground. Our interviews, quotes, videos and press releases are used in national and international stories which are as varied as peatland recovery stories, climate resilience and red squirrel conservation to sea grass restoration and whale sightings. We regularly appear on BBC Countryfile, Springwatch, BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, and Channel 4 News as well as in the Guardian, tabloids and other national outlets. In 2024 alone, the team achieved c.36,000 mentions in the media with over 690 billion opportunities to be seen. This coverage ensured that we remain at the heart of the national conversation on why we need nature.
But we’re not standing still because the nature and climate crises demand greater and more urgent action. We’re therefore looking for a resourceful and strategic thinker who can exploit new opportunities for us to continue to raise our profile and use our communications and media profile to drive greater awareness of and engagement with the things that need to happen to halt and reverse nature declines.
This is a senior role and we’re looking for an experienced media manager with an excellent track record in media relations for high profile nature organisations, who can confidently deal with high-profile reactive media as well as developing and delivering evidence-based creative, innovative media strategies. You will be leading a small media team, so line management experience is essential to ensure the consistent delivery of high-profile, high-impact media activity, supervising the team’s research, writing and editing. Working alongside the Head of Media you will build an environment where your team can continuously develop to be their best and have space to innovate and find new channels to reach broader audiences with our messages. In particular, we are keen to do more to highlight the role of people power (community organising) in nature’s recovery.
You will have significant previous experience of generating compelling news stories and features, and ideally you will have been involved in publicising policy and campaigns. There is never a dull moment with us and you will need to thrive working in an extremely fast-paced environment where organisational skills, prioritisation and attention to detail are a must.
We value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst we are passionate in promoting our aims, we are not judgmental and are inclusive.
