About us

Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we’re open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues. 

About the role

Reporting in to the Head of Communications, the Media and Public Relations Lead, will direct and lead the media relations strategy for Christian Aid to garner media coverage that is on brand and consistent with Christian Aid influencing, communications and fundraising goals.

The post-holder will lead the strategic planning and oversight of Christian Aid’s media and public relations strategy, raising the profile of the organisation among influencers in politics, public life and the Church, as well as Christian Aid supporters, motivating them to give, act and pray. 

Some of the main areas of responsibility for the Media and Public Relations Lead include:

  • Manage the team to generate high profile media coverage and to create messaging that positions Christian Aid as a credible and influential organisation.

  • Collaborate with fundraising, advocacy and programme colleagues to deliver profile-raising media and public engagement activity, particularly during key moments such as Christian Aid Week and humanitarian emergencies and appeals. 
  • Drive and build context and content around each message outlined in the fundraising and supporter engagement strategy for the complete set of Christian Aid audiences, ensuring there is consistency and an appropriate tone of voice.
  • Provide guidance and coaching on successful public relations activities, fostering a team mindset that will bring greater awareness to the impact Christian Aid is having and the work it is doing with its partners and protecting the organisation's reputation.
  • Generate coverage of Christian Aid’s international programmes, emergencies, campaign, policy and fundraising work across all media. 
  • Plan resources to contribute to projects and support the wider organisational needs. 
  • Be a senior member of the Communications Divisional Leadership Team within the Income & Public Engagement department and deputise for the Head of Communications where needed

Further information

At Christian Aid we strive to be an inclusive and diverse employer and recognise the value that this brings in helping to build strong, creative and high performing teams.

We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, women, and older workers to apply.

By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

This role requires applicants to have the right to live and work in the country where this position is based and undertake the role that you have been offered. If you are successful and we make you an offer for the role, we will be required to conduct a right to work check on your immigration status in the UK.
