More about us:
At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love, expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them. Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.

Acceptable use of AI:
At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words. We understand the support that generative artificial intelligence (AI) software can offer but it can also lead to numerous applications presenting as generic and impersonal. This makes it difficult to gain understanding of your unique experience.

To best showcase yourself, we encourage you to write your responses without the assistance of AI. If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting. You must also ensure the information presented in your application accurately reflects your experience.

Closing Date: 6th May 2026
All applications must be submitted before the closing date advertised. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications is received.

Interview Type & Date: Online interview (via MS Teams) with a data task - 18th/19th May 2026

We’re looking for a Communications Officer with experience in marketing and communications who will be part of a high-paced communications team working to engage with Christians and churches in London and beyond.

The successful candidate will:

Oversee the full production cycle of the quarterly Together prayer guide

• Together is LCM’s quarterly prayer guide, sent to thousands of supporters and used daily within the mission. It is a key point of connection between supporters and missionaries, shaping how people pray for gospel work across London.

Plan and oversee the weekly LCM online prayer meetings

• Every Tuesday evening, supporters from across the UK and beyond meet on Zoom to hear from a missionary and pray for gospel work. These online meetings have become a valued community, especially for those who cannot easily meet missionaries in person.

Support missionaries in engaging their supporters more effectively

• Missionaries rely on communities of Christians who pray, encourage, and give. Their LCM web pages help supporters understand their ministry and stay connected. The Communications Officer helps ensure these profiles are compelling, accurate, and regularly refreshed, supporting missionaries in presenting their work clearly and confidently.

Create fresh content for LCM’s communications channels

• LCM provides practical, frontline insights to equip Christians in sharing their faith, especially with marginalised communities. Throughout the year, the Communications Officer contributes written content — producing blogs, stories, and practical guidance that support and encourage believers, alongside social media content that helps extend reach.

Lead occasional cross team communications projects

• The Communications Team supports the wider organisation, regularly producing promotional materials for teams such as Training, Church Partnerships, and Supporter Partnerships.

Contribute creative ideas to shape communications and marketing content

• The Communications and Marketing Team is collaborative, creative, and committed to inspiring Christians across the UK! The Communications Officer contributes actively to idea generation — taking part in brainstorms, workshops, and planning sessions to help develop fresh, engaging approaches for external audiences.

The successful candidate will be a committed, prayerful evangelical Christian, with:

• At least 2 years' experience in a communications or marketing role (ideally with churches or church-based charities), delivering a range of integrated marketing and communications activities to engage different audiences.
• Strong grasp of branding principles and techniques and how to apply these in communications and marketing work.
• Ability to work proactively using own initiative, prioritise work and meet deadlines, with well-developed time management skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the proven ability to write and produce engaging communications for a range of channels and audiences.
• Experience of evaluating communications or marketing activities.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships and communicate with a wide range of people.
• Flexible approach and skilled at working in a fast-paced environment and juggling multiple priorities.
• Creative and innovative approach to communication combined with clear focus on delivering quality work to time and budget that is right first time.
• A good understanding and experience with using Adobe Creative Cloud and other creative & design platforms.

Desirable

• Educated to degree level or equivalent qualification
• Marketing qualification (CIM or equivalent)
• Experienced with photography and videography

This is a part-time role (0.4 FTE) with an expectation to work 2 days per week (16 hours per week), and a minimum of 1-day in the office per week. The position is a maternity cover position and will be offered on the basis of a 12-month fixed-tern contract.

If you possess this gifting and skills mix and have a strong desire to contribute to the London City Mission’s gospel outreach to those who are least likely to hear about Jesus in London, then we encourage you to apply.

There is an occupational requirement that the person appointed be an evangelical Christian.
