There are currently more than 30 Emmaus communities and groups in the UK stretching from Glasgow to Dover and Norfolk to South Wales, collectively supporting more than 850 people.

About the role

The Regional Communications Officer role is an exciting, varied position working with Emmaus communities located in the South East region of the UK to increase their profile and engage supporters.

You will work closely with the Emmaus communities in your patch to identify their communications needs and plan and deliver a mix of work to help achieve their goals.

Travel to team meetings, usually held in Birmingham, and other locations will also be required on occasion.

Who are we looking for?

In return, you'll be part of a team that's dedicated to making a difference. From post-campaign analytics to supplier management, your contributions will shape the future of our fundraising efforts. And with opportunities for growth and development, you'll have the chance to expand your skills while making a positive impact on the lives of veterans and their families.
