About us

Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

​​​​​​​About the role

As Senior Internal Communications Officer, you’ll be joining a small but growing internal communciations team and will play a leading role in raising awareness and building engagement around all things digital.

This will include leading the communications and engagement for Crisis’ Data, Digital and Technology Transformation Programme (‘the Programme’) as well as supporting the year-round work of our Data and Technology team. Within this role you’ll support the deployment of a new Customer Relationship System (CRM), Volunteer Management System (VMS), a refresh of our SharePoint intranet and the rollout of new digital tools and resources.

You’ll work with Programme stakeholders and team leads to design audience- and insight-led communciations and engagement plans which help to raise awareness, increase engagement and add a level of excitement to the future possibilities of data, digital and technology at Crisis.

Alongside the support you’ll provide to the Programme team and the Data and Technology team, you’ll also contribute to the wider work of the Internal Communications team, supporting staff engagement as a whole and working to meet the team’s priorities for the year(s) ahead.

You will report to the Head of Internal Communications but will be accountable to project and programme leads where appropriate. You’ll be supported by peers from our internal communications and digital workspaces who will be able to share their expertise and knowledge, as well as help you to build your own network across the organisation.

This is a fixed term contract for 2 years.

About you

As a key stakeholder in a range of different projects you’ll have sound knowledge of Crisis’ broader strategic aims and priorities and will support alignment of activities across the organisation. You’ll be committed to strengthening the voice of staff from across Crisis and will be driven to support our mission to end homelessness.

You’ll have a passion for data, digital and technology and an understanding of digital solutions that can help to increase staff engagement, understanding and awareness.

You’ll be a confident communicator with experience of working in a communications role either as a manager, lead or partner. You’ll be a strategic thinker with experience of leading change communications in a fast-paced and ambitious organisation.

About the team

Over the past 18 months, the Internal Communications team has grown from one to three and we’re really excited to be welcoming another two roles into the team. Crisis is a fast-paced environment and as a team we’re working on a number of specific projects, programmes and specialisms as well as providing ad hoc advice, guidance and support to colleagues across the organisation.

Our current areas of focus include equality, diversity and inclusion, wellbeing, future ways of working, values refresh and service changes within our Client Services directorate.

Our team is split between London and Edinburgh and while much of our work is done within the digital workspace, we aim to come together in-person every 8 weeks to help develop our relationships, share successes, problem-solve and plan for the future.

Our team is continuing to take shape and we love to try new ideas, both in terms of how we communicate and engage with others but also in how we work together. So, as well as stepping into a new role within the digital workspace, you’ll also have the opportunity to help inform the structure of our team to make sure we’re the very best we can be.

This is a really exciting time for digital at Crisis as we explore how to connect our colleagues, reach our supporters and maximise the opportunities of data, digital and technology to help end homelessness.

We want Crisis to be an inclusive employer which then reflects our members and the communities we work in. We want to offer opportunities to everyone regardless of their gender, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation or age. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness.

Working at Crisis

As a Crisis colleague, you’ll have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
• Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 25 days annual leave which increases with service to 28 days

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience and career.

When you join us you will have the opportunity to join our staff diversity networks, which aim to champion issues across the organisation, enable staff to be their authentic and best selves and contribute to making Crisis a truly diverse organisation.

We have 5 staff diversity networks which include Black, Asian and Ethnic people, LGBTQ+ people, those with Lived Experience of Homelessness, Women at Crisis and Disability Awareness.
