We are seeking a  committed and creative Outreach and Communications Officer who will be responsible for sharing our knowledge and expertise as widely as possible.

About The Role

The Unity Project (TUP) supports people who are facing poverty and homelessness because their immigration status allows them ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF).  We believe NRPF should not exist and we are working to end it. Until then, we seek to minimise its impact by supporting people to make the ‘change of conditions’ (CoC) application to access public funds. However, as the number of people living under NRPF continues to grow, we know we will never be able to meet the need for CoCs. Ensuring that our knowledge and experience is shared - with advisors, support services, community groups and individuals who could make applications themselves - is vital. Raising awareness of our work also supports our income diversification strategy by building corporate partnerships and individual donations.

In this role, you will be leading The Unity Project’s outreach and communications work in order to increase awareness of the Change of Conditions process and the support The Unity Project can offer to individuals and organisations.  Your first priorities will include mapping CoC provision across the country; working with the Director to design and implement a communications strategy to engage applicants, advice organisations, corporate partners and donors; and creating a suite of CoC resources to share online. As you develop in the role, you will deliver outreach and information sessions online and in the community. We hope that over time you will have the opportunity to grow, take on new responsibilities and help to shape how we do outreach and communications as we evolve.

About The Unity Project

Who we are

The Unity Project is a small charity that supports people with ‘Change of Conditions’ (CoC) applications required for access to public funds.

Why we exist

We want everyone living in the UK to have equal access to the welfare system. We exist to challenge the 'no recourse to public funds' (NRPF) policy in order to end it and, until then, minimise its impact.

Our values

We aim to be:

• Representative of and accountable to people who are navigating or have navigated the systems we want to change.
• Sustainable, so we can continue our work as long as it is needed.
• Trauma informed, recognising the impact of prior traumatic experiences and promoting an organisational culture which is safe, transparent, collaborative and responds empathically to each individual’s needs.
• Rooted in community, as we believe that strength comes from relationships of solidarity and mutual support.
• Equitable to all who give their time to the project.
• Tenacious, innovative, reflective and adaptable in our casework.

Our benefits

• Salary - £37,800 pro rata
• Flexibility - We all work together in person on Tuesdays. Beyond that we can be flexible about how you meet your hours.
• Annual leave - 35 days inclusive of bank holidays, plus a regular Christmas closure period (subject to board approval)
• Pension - 5% employee contribution, 8% employer contribution
• Clinical supervision - All staff have access to monthly clinical supervision
• Wellbeing - All staff have a personal wellbeing budget to spend as they need 
• Professional development - We organise regular all-staff training sessions to address needs identified by the team, and every staff member has an individual training budget for their own professional development. We aim to support all staff to grow and shape their roles in line with their career aspirations.
• Immigration support - On a case by case basis, we may be able to offer legal assistance with the immigration applications necessary to sustain this employment in compliance with UK immigration law.

Are you a creative communicator with a passion for storytelling and stakeholder engagement?

We are delighted to be supporting a national early years charity who are looking to appoint a Communications Officer to their central team. This is a permanent, full-time role (35 hours per week), offered on a hybrid basis with one day a week in their London office and occasional travel to programme sites in Stoke-on-Trent and Redcar & Cleveland. 

The organisation’s vision is for all children to the strong foundations they need for life and learning. They work with families, communities and partners to improve support for children in their early years, to bring together communities and to create a more joined-up early years system. This is an exciting time to join, as they have just launched a nw programme in Middlesbrough and are set to launch another in Scotland.

As Communications Officer, you will play a key role in raising awareness of the organisation’s work with national partners and stakeholders. Reporting to the Senior Communications Manager, you will be responsible for developing engaging content across a range of channels, from newsletters and blogs to films, infographics and social media. You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation and regional teams to identify compelling stories, demonstrate impact, and inspire collaboration.

To be successful within this role, you will be an excellent communicator with proven experience in content creation and copywriting. You will have strong editorial skills, with the ability to adapt your writing for a variety of audiences and platforms. You will be highly organised, with excellent project management skills and the ability to prioritise work to meet deadlines. You will enjoy working as part of a team but will also be confident working independently and using your initiative. You will have strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships across different teams and locations, and a genuine interest in making a difference in the early years sector.
