We are partnering with a grant-making charity that works at the forefront of addressing health inequalities. Through funding, influencing, and collaboration, they support community-led organisations and work to address the root causes of poor health, including poverty, discrimination, and structural injustice.

As a Digital Media and Communications Consultant, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how their story is told to the public, policymakers, corporate partners and third-sector organisations.  You’ll lead the development of a digital media and communications strategy, strengthen brand identity, and build a narrative that centres lived experience, research, and impact.

This role is pivotal to the organisation’s next chapter of influence, as it pushes health inequality further up the national agenda.

Key deliverables:

· Lead strategy development: Create and deliver a communications and digital media strategy that grows visibility, influence, and trust

· Elevate brand identity: Support work to refine the organisation’s voice, tone, and positioning.

· Amplify lived experience: Translate grassroots impact and research into compelling, values-led content that moves audiences to think and act.

What you’ll bring:

· A sharp strategic mindset and a track record of leading high-impact comms across digital, media, and public affairs

· Proven experience creating content for diverse audiences, from policymakers and corporate partners to community leaders and supporters

· A values-led approach to brand and messaging: credible, consistent, and inclusive

· Confidence in analysing performance and aligning communications with organisational goals

This is a 3-month contract (3 days/week), hybrid with a London base, starting as soon as possible.

You’ll be joining a collaborative, purpose-driven team working to transform how health inequalities are understood and addressed across the UK.

About PBE

We use economics to improve lives. Through analytical expertise and our close connection with the social sector, we help charities, funders, firms and policymakers tackle the causes and consequences of low wellbeing.

Right now, around 3 million adults in the UK are living in wellbeing poverty. We want to change that. 

Our team of analysts, researchers and economists work on a wide range of issues related to low wellbeing, including mental health, education, employment, financial security, poverty, disability, inequality and civil society. Our current focus areas are loneliness, children and young people’s mental health and private rental housing. We have changed national government policies on charitable giving, data about charities and volunteering and the relationship between civil servants and charities. Our research and insights helped secure over £1 billion of government funding for children’s services, numeracy education and charities struggling with the cost of living. The government has committed an additional £250 million for children’s social care in 2025-26, partially due to our research into the state of children’s services funding

About the role

From our ‘Labour and Civil Society Summit’ in Westminster with Sir Keir Starmer, to our ‘Diversity in charity leadership webinar’ with the Charity Commission, to our ‘Reversing the decline in children's mental health’ event chaired by Channel 4’s Cathy Newman, PBE events are high profile, high impact and varied. We are looking for someone who is passionate about using the power of events to bring people together to challenge, influence and engage on the issues our audiences care about.
