Senior communication manager jobs

About The Baby Bank Alliance

The Baby Bank Alliance (BBA) supports and advocates for a community of over 400 UK baby banks, working to ensure babies and children have the essentials they need to thrive.

Founded by Save the Children, Purposeful Ventures, Little Village and Bristol Baby Bank Network. BBA is currently co-incubated  by Save the Children UK and Purposeful Ventures, who provide expertise, capacity and resource. This role will be employed through Purposeful Ventures, and home working options are available.

It is an exciting moment in BBA’s development as we grow our profile, strengthen the UK’s baby bank network and build towards independence as a charity.

The Baby Bank Alliance exists to:

• Increase access to funds and goods through national partnerships and economies of scale, unlocking donations otherwise unavailable to baby banks.
• Grow a strong baby bank community, providing connection, tailored training and peer support.
• Boost the national profile of baby banks, increasing public awareness and understanding in order to drive support and change.
• Amplify the voices of baby banks to become a trusted collective voice on baby banks and child poverty.
• Build a resilient, well-governed organisation capable of long-term positive impact.

About the Senior Communications Lead

The Senior Communications Lead is a senior, hands-on leadership role, reporting to the Executive Lead, and responsible for shaping and delivering BBA’s cross-channel communications strategy. Working closely with the Executive Lead and team, you will drive increased awareness and understanding of baby banks, ensuring communications actively enable BBA’s wider goals around funding, partnerships and sector influence. 

Average UK awareness of baby banks currently sits at around 33%. Building on successful national partnerships (including IKEA and ITV’s Lorraine), this role will take BBA’s profile to the next level, embedding baby bank experiences and voices at the heart of everything we do. 

As a co-incubated organisation, developed with and for baby banks, strong experience of effective collaboration and understanding of the issues that baby banks are addressing, and facing themselves, is fundamental. 

You will oversee all communications activity across BBA, line manage the Communications Manager and task manage the Communications and Projects Officer, and build a small but high-impact communications function from the ground up within a resource-constrained, fast-moving organisation. Collaborating with teams at BBA’s incubating partners, Save the Children and Purposeful Ventures, will be key.
