We're FIRST UK: an EdTech charity using robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive – empowering young people with the technical and life skills to engineer bright futures.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
An exceptional leader who will deploy a systematic approach to identify, build and retain relationships with educators, employers, government which will underpin our growth – whilst ensuring safety, quality, and impact of experience for young people, teachers, volunteers.
As Delivery Director, you will be the senior leader accountable for two inextricably linked elements:
You will implement the growth architecture which scales the charity’s impact through:
WHAT YOU’LL GET
In addition to a genuinely distinctive mission, making STEM accessible to young people who are too often excluded from it, alongside measurable, evidenced outcomes and a growing profile with funders and media you'll have:
You will be the leader who takes a charity from start-up mode to a nationally recognised, regionally embedded impact organisation – transforming the outlook for thousands of young people annually.
WHO MIGHT THIS ROLE SUIT
Someone who 'gets' growth and has credible experience owning and scaling a programme, product, or service. You’re systematic in approach whilst appreciating the power of relationships and delivery through others. A sophisticated leader you motivate, coach and support others to achieve more. You see both the challenges and opportunities within a high growth potential organisation and are always ahead of them.
I love the sound of this; is there more I need to know?
If there is, we'll chat about it at the ‘get to know’ stage.
CONDITIONS
We don’t talk about benefits; we talk about culture. It’s not how many hours you work or where you work them – it’s what you deliver.
Location
Our team is home-based, coming together regularly to co-work, and deliver events. You should expect to attend a team collaboration day at least monthly, usually in London. This may require an overnight stay dependent on your location. If you can conduct your role effectively and are willing to travel to maximise growth opportunities, you can be based anywhere in the UK.
APPLICATION PROCESS
SAFER RECRUITMENT
To apply you must live in and have the right to work in the UK. In accordance with our Safer Recruitment Policy, all employees of the charity will be asked for two references which will be conducted by phone and are subject to Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks upon appointment.
Championing diversity in STEM
FIRST UK is committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the young people we serve. We actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those underrepresented in STEM and in the charity sector. If you share our belief that every young person deserves access to meaningful engineering and technology experiences regardless of their background, we would love to hear from you.

We’re open to emerging talent and care more about what you can create, your understanding of digital communities and your creative instincts than where you learned your skills.

• About a digital community you’ve helped to build or engage, and the role you played;
• What excites you about the opportunity to develop RFF’s Instagram and TikTok communities; and
• Any other creative, digital or platform skills you could bring to the role.

Join our team as Head of Communications!
Location: Remote within the countries where WeMove Europe is registered to work (UK, France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Poland)
Preferred Start Date: January 2027
Application Deadline: September 24 2026
Employment type: Permanent contract
WeMove Europe is a community of people united by a vision of a better Europe. We run campaigns that empower citizens to take action and influence decision-makers at the European level.
We’re looking for a Head of Communications who will combine communications expertise and an innovative approach to storytelling to engage hundreds of thousands of Europeans in meaningful action. This role reports to the Campaigns Director and has line management responsibilities.
You’ll work closely with our campaigns team and a social media manager to adapt and enhance campaigns through media, partnerships and content. This role works across multiple channels. You don’t need to be a tactical expert in all of them, but you need to be a strong strategic thinker who can carefully consider the role of each channel and asset. You will be as comfortable setting the strategic direction as you are delivering: pitching a story, briefing a journalist, running influencer outreach.
What you’ll do:
Advise on and support the development of our campaigns by creating and inputting into campaign narratives and communications plans
Work alongside campaigners and social media manager to oversee and/or produce complementary content that builds pressure on the target: reactive posts, video, and assets timed to campaign moments
Liaise with media contacts and external agencies to find appropriate opportunities to amplify our campaigns across European and national media
Build partnerships with influencers, creators, and independent activists to enhance the power and impact of our campaigns
Support the campaigns team to strengthen their storytelling skills and identify compelling storytelling opportunities in their partnerships, such as media hooks
Build and sustain contact with journalists, produce press releases and briefings, keep our media database accurate and current across our priority countries
Oversee and refresh our social media presence, line managing and coaching a social media manager.
Stay close to the news cycle and to what is working on social in order to identify moments that put our campaign in front of the people we need to move
Contribute to defining the success measures for communications, including social media KPIs, and oversee activity to meet them
Advise senior leadership on communications and reputational considerations, including crisis communications approach
Ensure consistency of messaging and tone across all public communications.
The WeMove Europe team works in a culture of togetherness and passion for our issues and determination to win, so from time to time, you will be expected to perform activities outside of your normal role.
Who we’re looking for:
Essential skills:
Storytelling: You can translate complex policy or campaign issues into compelling stories for different audiences, and generate creative news angles from unlikely material or challenging subject matter. You can write inspiring, clear, and impactful copy in English.
Delivery: You have experience in at least one of the following areas:
Media relations: Securing proactive and impactful media coverage which influenced policy or moved the needle - in other words, which has had an impact beyond raising profile or raising awareness.
Influencer partnerships: Building relationships and impactful collaborations with influencers, content creators or other content partners.
Content creation: Producing social media content which mobilised people to take action.
Audiences: You have experience of engaging new audiences through communications channels, and you are able to use audience insights to influence your approach.
Analysis: You are data-driven and results-oriented, eager to test, learn, and continuously improve your content and communications.
Collaboration: You thrive in collaborative, international teams, eager to learn from colleagues and share your own expertise.
Coaching and training: You can design and deliver practical training that changes how colleagues work, not just how much they know, and you enjoy building capability in others rather than holding it yourself.
Important criteria:
Values: You are deeply committed to systemic change in Europe, aligned with values of solidarity, sustainability, justice, and democracy. You are passionate about empowering people to realize their own power and become agents of change.
Languages: You are fluent in English
Travel: You are willing to travel within Europe when needed (at least 3 times a year)
Experience level: You should have five years of relevant experience for this post.
Nice to have
You are familiar with a digital-first campaigns model, though you don’t necessarily need to have worked in this context before.
Have recent experience of using video to tell complex stories and reach new audiences.
You don’t have to have line management experience, but it could be beneficial.
Knowledge of the Brussels press landscape alongside national media
Other European languages are an added benefit.
