We’re seeking a highly organised, results-oriented team player, with excellent writing and content-creation skills, to build active engagement with our community of families, professionals and fundraising supporters. This role will suit someone confident to take initiative who enjoys teamwork, creativity, variety, and ‘putting jobs to bed’, who can balance the many short-term deadlines of two different focus areas with some longer-term pieces of project work.
As a small organisation with programmes of family support, youth work, corporate and individual fundraising, we offer the successful applicant exposure to build skills, from concept to delivery, on a wide range of project areas.
Key tasks

This list does not cover every aspect of the role but will give you a flavour of the combination of taking a lead and hands-on work the job requires. Your days will be busy but controlled! There’ll be a lot to pack in, but, as the only comms and admin person, you’ll have scope to prioritise where your time and focus will get the best results. You’ll work across all our teams gathering, packaging, and sharing their news and information and supporting them to deliver with efficiency and high impact. If you like a ‘no-two-days-are-the-same’ environment and the ‘mucking in together’ dimension of a smaller charity, ECHO could suit you well.
