Please note we will be interviewing candidates as suitable applications come in and therefore reserve the right to close this vacancy before the stated closing date. We encourage applications as soon as possible. 

About us

We work with organisations that play a crucial role in improving society. Our clients have been at the forefront of policy changes that improve school food, conserve the ocean, and scale interventions that protect children in war.

The hard work of getting these kind of policy changes through can be dry and technical: to convince an government official that one policy solution is better than another can require a lot of debate, evidence production, and thinking about implementation.

That is where our clients are strong. Where we can help them – and where you will be helping them – is by ensuring that the background noise around the policy issue is productive to them achieving that goal.

The job

We’re looking for a social media hot shot. You’ll have an instinctive sense of what will (and won’t) work on various platforms. You’ll have that instinct because you’ve done it all before, by creating content for an organisation or campaign (or for yourself!) We want weird, atypical, challenging; someone who will push the boat out.

We are not looking for the stereotypical and generic social media content that you see most places publishing. And we are not looking for someone to put a prompt into AI and publish the output.

You’ll be using your content creation skills on campaigns to change legislation, on organisational social media accounts to make them stand out from the ‘blob’, and quite possibly on Cast from Clay’s own channels.

The kinds of people that thrive at Cast from Clay are intellectually curious, are open to challenge, and care about the details. Most importantly, they prize clarity of thought. In today’s world we are overwhelmed with information and content. Knowing what they think and being able to explain why is, to our minds, one of the most important skills of today.

It’s worth saying that we don’t care what your political views are, as long as you have some–the team has a mix of views.

What we are looking for 

You will have:

• A strong understanding of how each social platform works. You will be familiar with audience engagement, community management, and platform algorithms.
• Experience in using tools to track, analyse, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) to determine content effectiveness and inform future strategies.
• Skills to develop and publish high-quality, engaging content (text, image, video) across socials, often utilising scheduling platforms. The content has to be tailored to distinct brand voices.
• A deep understanding of what social media current trends are.

If you feel like you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, please don’t let that stop you. If you love the sound of this role and have a strong foundation in social media, we would love to hear from you.

Note: This is an immediate hire. We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so please don't wait to apply.

Why Cast from Clay?

The kinds of people that thrive at Cast from Clay are intellectually curious, are open to challenge, and care about the details. Most importantly, they prize clarity of thought. In today’s world we are overwhelmed with information and content. Knowing what they think and being able to explain why is, to our minds, one of the most important skills of today.

It’s worth saying that we don’t care what your political views are, as long as you have some–the team has a mix of views.

What we offer

We offer a competitive benefits package for all our positions, including enhanced parental leave, sabbaticals, and training budgets.

• Office: we work from our offices in Vauxhall on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You’re welcome to use the office more frequently than that if you wish.
• Home office allowance: we’ll make a £150 contribution towards kitting out your home workspace.
• Flexible working: tell us how you work best and we’ll do what we can to make it happen – including if you want to spend time working from abroad.
• Monthly team socials: we like spending time together so every few weeks we come up with ideas for things to do together. That’s included board games over pizza, ice skating, movie nights, playing a VR game together and going on llama safari at our local city farm.
• Training: you’ll get up to £500 annual training budget to spend on your professional development. 
• Pension: we will pay 5% of your salary, matching the 5% you pay, to make a total of 10% annual contributions.
• Holidays: we offer 25 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays, and we close the office over Christmas.

Interested?

If this sounds like you, please apply by sending us: 

1. Links to the 5 pieces of social media content you’ve created that you are proudest of.
2. Your CV (no more than 2 pages).

We expect to receive a lot of applications for this role. To help yours stand out, please give us a couple of sentences in your email as to why you want to work at Cast from Clay. 

It’s also worth saying that we want to hear your genuine voice, so please don’t use AI to write this. Not least because there will be lots of people who will use AI, and it’s always amusing for us when a bunch of very different people all write the same thing…!

Things to note

• You need to have permission to work in the U.K. already – we cannot sponsor visas for this role.
• We are an equal opportunities employer and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, class, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.

Our work on brand strategy

We work with organisations helping to shape a better society, from improving school food and protecting children in war to conserving the ocean.

Our role is to help them express their value more clearly. The issue is not the strength of their work, but how they talk about it: the positioning is too broad, the language too abstract, or the message too full of jargon to connect.

That matters because our clients need to reach more than one audience. They may need to influence policymakers while also building trust with donors, partners, media and others around them.

We help clients define what sets them apart and turn that into a brand that people can understand and respond to. In practice, that means giving them language they can actually use in the policy world, not just something theoretical. It helps them speak about their work clearly and credibly, stand out from similar organisations, and stay on top of mind with the people who shape decisions, so they are better placed to influence policy.

The job

We want a creative brand strategist who treats a brand as a functional tool.

You will help clients, from think tanks to charities to research organisations, move beyond technical sector speak by building end-to-end strategies rooted in research but delivered with a unique voice. You will create the positioning statements and the overall brand architecture that give these organisations a distinct personality, building on their core values to make sure they feel authentic.

We want someone who won’t shy away from testing whether a client should be bold and authoritative, or lead with an emotional narrative to influence the right people. 

What we don’t want is someone comfortable with the bland stuff. We are not looking for someone who imposes their own idea of what a brand should be. The best brand work comes from listening closely to how clients describe what they do, helping them refine and articulate it, and shaping that into something clear and distinctive. The brands you create need to go beyond words; you will create a brand that helps clients live it in practice. 

What we are looking for: 

In addition to the above, you will have: 

• A background in running brand audits, including stakeholder interviews, competitor research, and workshops to identify where a brand sits now and where it needs to go.

• Skill in translating technical policy language into a clear, creative written brand strategy that a client’s communications and design teams can use.

• Confidence in turning strategy into actionable briefs for designers for visual identity development. 

• Experience serving as the main point of contact for clients, managing their expectations, and offering constructive pushback when necessary.

If you feel like you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, please don’t let that stop you. If you love the sound of this role and have a strong foundation in developing brand strategies, we would love to hear from you.

Note: This is an immediate hire. We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so please don't wait to apply.

The Advocacy Academy is an activist youth movement. We serve as the political home for grassroots youth organising and the catalyst for collective action. The lives of the young people we work alongside have been directly shaped by living in an unjust world, and we exist to turn their anger into action.

Young people are often the catalysts for major social change, from the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, to the Soweto Uprising mobilising young people to resist the apartheid regime's education policies, to the Sunrise Movement redrawing the electoral map across America, and more recently encampments and protests across the world protesting the genocide in Palestine. How successfully they achieve real and lasting change depends on whether they are organised and whether they have the right strategy and tactics to be effective. 

We want youth organising to be enshrined in the UK for generations to come, and for young people to have tangible political power to influence national policy. That’s why we have launched two national coalitions, one around climate, and the other around gender. Each will train organisations across the country to become youth organisers and work together to bring 100 young people together to identify the strategy and tactics needed to achieve change. These young leaders will organise others and work collectively to build a campaign which shakes the status quo.

We are looking for a Senior Lead Climate Coalition who believes in this vision and is capable of building the leadership in youth workers and young people alike that enables them to turn the resources they have into the power they need to make the change they want. It will be your job to help grow this programme, organise our partners, create magic and spark the hope for something more! If this excites you, then please apply.

Before you skim the job description, please remember you don’t have to tick all the boxes for each role to apply. Charity experience is not a requirement! We all experience a bit of imposter syndrome, including the staff here at The Advocacy Academy. Let’s name it for what it is - a manifestation of the oppression many of us face on a day to day. If this role pulls you and you believe you could make a difference, then apply anyway or reach out to us to discuss more!

There is flexibility on location given the requirement to travel and that your office will be home-based. You will need to travel to in-person quarterly team meetings (usually in London or West Yorkshire) and to Board meetings which alternate between online and London. It is expected that travel will be by public transport and easy access to the rail network is therefore required to ensure journeys can be made sustainably. 

This is a full-time position, 37 hours per week. We use a flexi-time system with core hours 10am-3pm, and are committed to being a flexible, supportive and understanding employer. This is a permanent position with a probationary period of six months. 

Benefits: 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (rising up to 30 days, plus Bank Holidays, in line with long service); pension with employer contribution of 7%; and access to Employee Assistance Programme.

Successful applicants will need to provide proof that they have the right to work in the UK and provide two references.

Community Rail Network is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from disabled people and Black, Asian and other minoritised groups, who meet with the skills and competencies for this role. We will provide reasonable adjustments for interviews as required.
