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.

We’re looking for someone with extensive experience of delivering high impact, creative national, regional and local PR campaigns to engage target audiences across a wide range of media. 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.

Girlguiding values the differences that a diverse workforce brings and is committed to inclusivity, and to employing and supporting a diverse workforce.

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.

About us

Carers UK is the leading national charity, supporting, advocating for, and connecting unpaid carers across the UK.

With over 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK and 6,000 individuals becoming a carer every day the need to support them is growing and urgent. Unpaid carers save the UK state an estimated £530 million each day and are vital to the friends and family members they support, as well as to the wider community.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected carers across the country. Our recent polling suggests that the figure for unpaid carers could now be as high as 13.6 million, with an estimated 4.5 million people literally starting to care overnight due to the impact of coronavirus on services and individuals.

This is an exciting time to join Carers UK as we enter our new strategic period, Vision 2025 taking us to our 60th anniversary. Rather than producing a detailed five-year plan we have developed an ambitious direction of travel, recognising the challenges of planning in the ongoing and uncertain environment created by COVID-19. We believe our flexible approach throughout 2020 enabled us to react quickly to the needs of carers, and by adopting a direction of travel, backed up with annual business plans, we will continue to meet the growing needs of carers.

Carers UK relies on voluntary income, our future plans will depend on unrestricted income to meet the growing need.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 13th May 2021 5pm

First interviews will be held week commencing Monday 24th May 2021
