About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke. 

We’re here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.

It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support.

Stroke Association is driven by our ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke.

• Lead the Stroke Association’s strategic direction and impact in Scotland, ensuring people affected by stroke receive high quality support.
• Build and manage relationships with key health, social care and political stakeholders, acting as a credible and respected systems leader.
• Adapt organisational priorities for Scotland and ensure effective delivery through strong planning and performance oversight.
• Lead and develop the Scotland team, addressing capacity needs and building volunteer capability to meet local priorities.
• Strengthen partnerships across the stroke community to improve access to support and tackle health inequalities.
• Lead engagement in local policy and pathway development, influencing improvements at health board level.

You will have:

• Significant senior-level experience in advocacy and influencing, including shaping policy change in values-driven, social-impact contexts within Scotland’s health and social care sector.
• Substantial experience developing and managing senior-level relationships across partner organisations, using strong negotiation skills and sound political judgement.

• Strong understanding of the Scottish health and social care landscape, including Parliament, Government, influencing systems, and awareness of UK-wide legislative procedures.
• Ability to balance local, national and UK-wide organisational priorities.

About Us 

We are an independent, global organisation of investigators and campaigners using cutting edge investigative methods. We shine a light on the financial and political systems that enable corporate abuses of power that harm people and planet.

For over 30 years, Global Witness has pioneered an approach that merges bold investigations with determined campaigning to secure better protections for people and our planet. We’ve gone undercover to unmask the violence and secretive deals that underpin the “blood diamond” industry. Our data-driven analysis has tracked the flow of commodities across the globe. And we’ve sought out powerful testimonies that tell the story of environmental harm and repression first-hand.

With three decades of campaigning for a fair and just planet under our belt, we reframed our focus in 2020 to address humanity’s greatest challenge: the climate crisis.

The Role

The Head of Media manages the development and delivery of our media strategy, ensuring Global Witness achieves impactful, high-profile coverage that supports our campaigning, fundraising and brand goals. You will be responsible for managing both proactive and reactive media work across the full breadth of our work. You will also play a central role in managing reputational risk, crisis communications, and cross-organisational coordination.

The role will be vital in ensuring our media output is evidence-based, values-aligned, and informed by audience insights. You will oversee rigorous evaluation of media impact and performance, supporting a culture of learning, agility and audience-first thinking across the organisation.
 

Who we are looking for

• Significant experience working in a senior media, press or communications role, preferably within an advocacy, campaigning or NGO setting.
• Proven track record of securing impactful media coverage across a wide range of international outlets.
• Strong news judgement, storytelling instincts and an understanding of what makes stories land with different audiences.
• Demonstrated experience managing reputational risk and leading crisis communications, as well as working with Senior Leadership in an organisation.
• Excellent interpersonal and influencing skills, with the ability to build trust and credibility internally and externally.
• Brings proven experience managing and supporting teams across different countries and institutions.
• Builds teams where people feel respected, supported and motivated, and where everyone’s contribution counts.
• Displays sound financial literacy and has experience managing budgets.
• Shows self-awareness, with a good understanding of your strengths, areas for growth and impact on others.
• Experience using media monitoring and evaluation tools to assess impact and inform decision-making.
• Fluent in English and able to demonstrate attention to detail and quality even under time pressure.
• Shares our values and is committed to contributing to our diversity, equity and inclusion journey.
• Is well organised, able to prioritise, solve problems, and keep projects on track.

Desirable
• Knowledge of international environmental and climate issues.
• Experience working with spokespeople, including media training and message development.
• Experience of commissioning audience insight (e.g. quantitative surveys to gauge perception).
• Experience engaging with media in multiple regions or languages.
