You will contribute content across multiple internal platforms, including producing Battersea’s weekly internal newsletter and supporting the ongoing development of Pawtal, our staff intranet. The role also involves helping colleagues across the organisation manage their own content, offering advice and support to ensure information shared with staff is clear, consistent and aligned with Battersea’s priorities.

Alongside this, you’ll assist with CEO video communications, coordinating filming and helping bring senior leader messages to life.

Working closely with the Internal Communications Manager and Internal Communications Specialist, you’ll also help monitor how our communications are performing by gathering feedback from staff and analysing engagement data to support continuous improvement.
This is a varied role suited to someone who enjoys working collaboratively, managing multiple priorities and creating communications that help colleagues feel informed, included and connected to Battersea’s mission.

About the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association

The Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA) is a charity and a professional association the majority of whose members are barristers, solicitors, advocates and IAA (previously OISC) regulated advisers practising in all aspects of immigration, asylum and nationality law. Academics, non-governmental organisations and individuals with a substantial interest in the law are also members.

Founded in 1984 by leading practitioners in the field, ILPA exists to promote and improve advice and representation in immigration, asylum and nationality law, through an extensive programme of training and disseminating information and by providing research and opinion that draw on the experiences of members. ILPA is represented on numerous government, official and non-governmental advisory groups and regularly provides evidence to parliamentary and official inquiries.

The Secretariat does not give advice to members of the public on individual cases but works closely with members to ensure that they are enabled to do their best for their clients. It runs ILPA’s busy training programme and produces a wide range of information for members and non-members.

The objectives of ILPA are:

• To promote the advising and representation of immigrants;

• To provide information to members and others on domestic and European immigration, asylum and nationality law; and

• To secure a non-racist, non-sexist, just and equitable system of immigration, asylum and nationality law practice.

About Police Care UK
Police Care UK is the national, independent charity supporting serving and veteran members of the police community, and their families, when they’ve been physically or psychologically harmed through policing.
Demand for our services has grown by more than 400% in the last decade. This reflects the increasing impact of trauma in modern policing – from major incidents and serious violence to cumulative and vicarious trauma. We understand that harm doesn’t end with a shift, and that families are often affected too. We’ve evolved from a traditional benevolent fund into a sector-leading organisation delivering evidence-informed support, trauma-focused recovery services and practical prevention programmes across UK policing. Our work is grounded in compassion, clarity and evidence, and we’re fiercely independent so we can focus on what people really need. 

Our vision is simple: a future where every member of the police community has access to the care and support they need, and nobody faces the impact of harm alone. Based in Woking and working nationally, we’re committed to strengthening the people behind the force – and we’re looking for those who want to be a part of that work.

About the role
As our Engagement Officer, you’ll play a key role in raising awareness of Police Care UK, strengthening relationships across policing and local communities, and supporting events and initiatives that increase engagement, partnerships, and income generation. You’ll be the friendly, confident presence representing the Charity at policing events, community activities, conferences, and fundraising opportunities - ensuring Police Care UK is always represented with professionalism, warmth, and impact.

• Coordinate the Charity’s attendance at community events, fundraising activities, and conferences, including planning logistics, preparing materials, supporting volunteers, and gathering post-event insights.
• Support the Executive Leadership Team to ensure appropriate representation at higher-profile events, preparing briefing materials and ensuring consistent messaging
• Collaborate with the Volunteer Manager to identify and support volunteer involvement at events, community activities, and awareness opportunities.
• Support the Fundraising team by promoting community fundraising, challenge events, payroll giving, and corporate partnership opportunities to a wide range of audiences.

• Serve as a brand ambassador for Police Care UK and to represent the Charity values in all that you do. 
• Work within agreed KPIs to measure the success of engagement activities and ensure alignment with the Charity’s strategic objectives.
• Assess and prioritise event and engagement opportunities, ensuring each activity has clear objectives, outcomes, and value for the Charity.
