This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding. We are on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people across the UK every week. We have recently agreed our 2020+ strategy and begun a process of significant change: transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future by putting young people and volunteers at the heart of our organisation.

Girlguiding is recruiting a Senior PR Officer to play a leading role in the delivery of an ambitious and integrated PR programme to help us deliver Girlguiding’s strategy. We want to help girls make their voices heard and appeal to more and a greater diversity of girls and potential volunteers so even more girls can benefit from our award-winning youth offer and the life changing opportunities guiding offers.

It’s a crucial time for girls and for Girlguiding as we recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. We have an important, positive story to tell about our role in communities and how we support girls’ and young women’s wellbeing, offering them ways to stay connected, learn and have fun in guiding even through the most challenging of times.

They should have an excellent news sense and the ability to anticipate and identify PR opportunities and trends relevant to Girlguiding to help us meet strategic goals. They will be able to produce high-quality press materials, will have extensive knowledge of the UK media and strong social media know-how. They will also have experience of crisis and reputational risk management.

Responsible for leading the PR work for Girlguiding’s corporate partnerships, the Senior PR Officer will work with the corporate fundraising team to develop creative PR ideas and strategies for existing and prospective corporate partners and funders.

The post requires working outside of 9-5 office hours, such as evenings and weekends, to be part of the press on-call rota and to travel to other locations as necessary, for which time off in lieu will be given.

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child, but this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination and it’s girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.

Since adopting our global strategy, 100 Million Reasons, our global work to advance children’s rights and equality for girls has had unprecedented impact. We have been transforming our operations at the Global Hub to be the best possible partner for the 8,000+ staff who work in our country offices, and working to become a more agile, efficient and accountable organization.

We have improved our mechanisms for collaboration, transparency and data-gathering and disaggregation. The transformation has increased the number of decisions to be taken close to the point of impact and distributed power more widely throughout the organisation. We have made significant progress towards greater localisation and developing industry-leading equality, diversity and inclusion best practices.

To bring about lasting change, we have to live our values. We are committed not simply to telling the world we are the go to organisation on girls’ rights, but to embedding justice and equality in all that we do.
