Communications and Social Media Officer- Hybrid

Do you love talking to older Christians and hearing their stories?

Are you excited by the possibility of lifting the lid on what goes on in the life of a care home, from fun activities to school visits and trips out?

Would you find it rewarding to share insights on what makes for great person-centred care, including dementia care?

Are you keen to get cracking on a great comms campaign to support fundraising? If so, then you could be just the person we’re looking for.

As a Christian* charity supporting older people, at Pilgrims’ Friend Society, we’re dedicated to creating wonderful places where older Christians can live out their faith and enjoy fulfilling lives, contributing to others around them, both in their care home or housing scheme and in the wider community.

But for our communities to thrive, we need to spread the word about the work we’re doing and the brilliant older people who choose to make their home with us.

We’re seeking a tenacious individual, whether a recent graduate or someone with one to three years of experience in a communications/marketing role, to join our expanding Marketing and Communications Team. This role offers an ideal opportunity to capture compelling stories and amplify our charity’s voice while further developing your career in our dynamic team.

Reporting to our Communications Manager, you’ll play a key role in delivering the Communications Strategy, crafting content across a range of platforms including The Pilgrims’ Magazine, our website, newsletters and social media.

Strong writing skills are an absolute must for this role, as is a keen eye for design and high levels of digital literacy. As an adept communicator with excellent attention to detail, you’ll be able to turn your hand to anything, from magazine features to short form videos, keeping abreast of the latest trends.

A natural people person with innate curiosity, you’ll embrace opportunities to visit our care homes and housing schemes and capture the stories of life with us – not just those of the older people who live there, but also those of our brilliant staff and volunteers. You’ll then devise creative ways to share these stories so they connect with our different audiences, from prospective residents to new supporters and beyond.

A self-starter, you’ll need to be able to work independently within agreed brand guidelines and with minimal supervision. You’ll also need to be highly organised, ensuring that deadlines are met and that content lands in a timely manner. Through analytics, you’ll monitor engagement, using these insights to inform our evolving content plan and drive growth.

As well as creating compelling content for our core communications platforms, you’ll also provide valuable support to our ambitious press plan, helping to amplify the voice of Pilgrims’ Friend Society in local and national media.

If that sounds like the right fit for you, then we’d love to hear from you!
