Real is recruiting a Communications and Marketing Coordinator. This is a new position created following an operational review. We recognise it’s important to be really clear about articulating who Real is for, how we can help them, and how they can get involved in Real’s work. We want to reach new audiences creatively, getting our messages out to a variety of stakeholders. There are challenges in doing this in a truly accessible way.

We are looking for an experienced, creative and knowledgeable person to lead our communications and marketing work. You will report directly to the Head of Programmes and together you will be responsible for developing and implementing a new communication strategy and action plan. We know that we want to be more relevant to more people. The role will combine both strategic and day-to-day communications and marketing work.

We also want to ensure our communications are two-way with our constituency. The role will also spend time supporting the delivery of the Local Voices community engagement project, especially up until December 2020, helping us reach people differently as a result of the COVID-19 situation.

We are initially recruiting at 0.5 FTE (17.5 hours per week) but there is potential for this to expand in the future when we get more funding and if the candidate is interested. This is an exciting opportunity to work for the only pan-disability, user-led organisation in Tower Hamlets; helping us to provide remarkable services to, and outcomes for, disabled people in the borough.

This role requires a motivated, capable individual who is able to inspire other staff, volunteers and members of the public to collaborate to help us really “tell the story” about how we can help and make a difference. You will be both strategic, and able to roll up your sleeves to get the job done. There are no roles reporting into this position currently, but there may be in future, and there are other staff and volunteers who will need guidance and support in communications activities.

Real is proud of its principles of valuing everyone and never discriminating. As a user-led organisation of local disabled people we particularly welcome applicants who are disabled or who live in Tower Hamlets.

Why you should work for Real

• We are a dynamic, growing third sector organisation and a user-led organisation of disabled people. We are firmly driven by our principles and ethos.
• We are a progressive organisation, constantly looking to work more effectively. But this does not mean we abandon our principles.
• We have a good reputation with our funders and our clients, and support approximately 1000 people in the community each year.
• We actively embrace diversity in all forms. Our clients relate to us more because we reflect their reality.
• We consider disability in our employees an asset.
• There is a great atmosphere and good staff morale.
• In a number of areas we are at the forefront of being part of an evolving and developing third sector in Tower Hamlets.

Recruiting during the pandemic

We know we are at a critical point across the economy here in the UK and elsewhere; this is certainly true within Higher Education. We are in touch with our colleagues and our network across the sector and are acutely aware of the challenges both financially and with regard to learning that they are experiencing. It is unprecedented for us all.

This is a difficult time for many and we have taken a carefully considered, deliberate decision to continue to drive our growth and development. We have recently appointed 6 new team members who will start with us over the next three months and have developed our approach to ensure that a remote start is as seamless as possible.

Additional ways for you, as candidates to interact directly with a wider number of our team as well as the recruiting manager have been incorporated into our recruitment process to ensure a smooth and engaging candidate experience.

The team you work with will be from different functions and levels – all united in one goal -to make TEDI-London a success.

Your Role

We are looking for a passionate Digital Marketing Officer to support the Marketing team in creating engaging and innovative content for TEDI-London.
