Real is recruiting a Communications and Marketing Coordinator. This is a new position created following an operational review. We recognise it’s important to be really clear about articulating who Real is for, how we can help them, and how they can get involved in Real’s work. We want to reach new audiences creatively, getting our messages out to a variety of stakeholders. There are challenges in doing this in a truly accessible way.

We are looking for an experienced, creative and knowledgeable person to lead our communications and marketing work. You will report directly to the Head of Programmes and together you will be responsible for developing and implementing a new communication strategy and action plan. We know that we want to be more relevant to more people. The role will combine both strategic and day-to-day communications and marketing work.

We also want to ensure our communications are two-way with our constituency. The role will also spend time supporting the delivery of the Local Voices community engagement project, especially up until December 2020, helping us reach people differently as a result of the COVID-19 situation.

We are initially recruiting at 0.5 FTE (17.5 hours per week) but there is potential for this to expand in the future when we get more funding and if the candidate is interested. This is an exciting opportunity to work for the only pan-disability, user-led organisation in Tower Hamlets; helping us to provide remarkable services to, and outcomes for, disabled people in the borough.

This role requires a motivated, capable individual who is able to inspire other staff, volunteers and members of the public to collaborate to help us really “tell the story” about how we can help and make a difference. You will be both strategic, and able to roll up your sleeves to get the job done. There are no roles reporting into this position currently, but there may be in future, and there are other staff and volunteers who will need guidance and support in communications activities.

Real is proud of its principles of valuing everyone and never discriminating. As a user-led organisation of local disabled people we particularly welcome applicants who are disabled or who live in Tower Hamlets.

Why you should work for Real

• We are a dynamic, growing third sector organisation and a user-led organisation of disabled people. We are firmly driven by our principles and ethos.
• We are a progressive organisation, constantly looking to work more effectively. But this does not mean we abandon our principles.
• We have a good reputation with our funders and our clients, and support approximately 1000 people in the community each year.
• We actively embrace diversity in all forms. Our clients relate to us more because we reflect their reality.
• We consider disability in our employees an asset.
• There is a great atmosphere and good staff morale.
• In a number of areas we are at the forefront of being part of an evolving and developing third sector in Tower Hamlets.

Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January) is the day for everyone to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. It is a time when we seek to learn the lessons of the past and recognise that genocide does not just take place on its own - it’s a steady process which can begin if discrimination, racism and hatred are not checked and prevented.

HMD is for everyone. Each year across the UK, thousands of people come together to learn more about the past and take action to create a safer future. We know they learn more, empathise more and do more.

Together we bear witness for those who endured genocide and honour the survivors and all those whose lives were changed beyond recognition.

The Role

As the Senior Communications Officer, you’ll strengthen our media presence, lead our strategic engagement with survivors of the Holocaust and recent genocides and co-ordinate responses to complex and sensitive issues.

Additionally, you will:

- Manage profile-raising events to increase awareness of HMD and HMDT with a range of influencers

Sound like you?

We’re looking for an exceptional and highly motivated communications and policy professional. If you want to have a direct impact on raising the profile of miscarriages of justice and fixing our broken criminal justice system, then we want to hear from you. In this role you’ll manage strategic communications projects, engaging key audiences and seeking platforms for our staff, our prisoner clients and their families.

We’re looking for someone who’s led impactful communications campaigns aimed at a broad range of audiences. You’ll have proven experience of delivering timely and effective communications and engagement strategies that have enabled organisations to achieve their aims. You’ll have a passion for storytelling and an ability to work alongside those with lived experience of the cirminal justice system. You’ll understand the complex needs of people with involvement in the justice system, and with experiences of trauma or poverty. You’ll have worked in a complex organisation and understand how to deliver excellent content against audience needs.

Who are we?

APPEAL is a law charity that fights miscarriages of justice and demands reform. Our small team of lawyers, advocates and investigators take on criminal appeals on behalf of prisoners who cannot afford legal representation.

1. We investigate: battling for access to records and exhibits, arranging new forensic testing, conducting street-level investigation, and systematically analysing case documentation, digging deep to find the fresh evidence that proves a conviction is unsafe or a sentence is unfair.
2. We litigate: bringing cases to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the Administrative Court and the Court of Appeal.
3. We advocate: working with former prisoners, campaigners, students, legal professionals, policy makers and other stakeholders to ensure our justice system learns from its mistakes.

We are committed to winning justice for individuals and their families, but also usingcases as impact litigation to push for systemic change to make our criminal justice system more accurate, fair and accountable. This involves not just legal work, but also implementation of a robust communications and policy strategy, as the reforms needed must come from parliamentary and policy interventions as well as from judicial precedent.

Work Specification

• You will lead APPEAL’s justice policy reform efforts and manage the day to day operation of our communications strategy.
• You will leverage APPEAL’s casework, research and campaigning around our Initiative to end the use of imprisonment for debt, that falls under the work of the Women’s Justice Initiative (WJI). The WJI primarily aims to use criminal appeals as impact litigation for imprisoned women who have experienced severe and multiple disadvantage.
• You will lead on policy reform efforts around APPEAL’s Open Justice goals, including advocating for better access to police and prosecution material, reform of the disclosure system, access to trial transcripts and improving the effectiveness of the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
• You will manage APPEAL’s external communications, including drafting press releases, liaising with journalists, managing the website and APPEAL’s social media accounts and writing our annual impact report.
• You will also support our Bound by Injustice group, working with the family members of our imprisoned clients and clients themselves to empower them as advocates for reform.
• The job may expand to include managing the day-to-day operation of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Miscarriages of Justice for which APPEAL is currently the secretariat.
