Do you think the housing crisis is one of the biggest challenges our nation faces? Do you want to champion the value of high quality, affordable, social housing? Then come and join the PR and Social Media team at the National Housing Federation.
The National Housing Federation (NHF) is the voice of housing associations in England. We are the trade body to almost 600 housing associations, which build and manage most of the country’s social housing. They provide social homes to around 6 million people, including the homeless, asylum seekers, people with learning disabilities and people fleeing domestic violence. Our diverse members are key players in fixing the country’s broken housing market and have been central to the national response to the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2020, we campaigned for homes to be put at the heart of the country’s recovery to coronavirus and supported our members to continue delivering vital housing services throughout the pandemic. The year before, we shone a light on how housing costs are pushing children in to poverty and called for an end to discriminatory ‘No DSS’ policies. The team plays a huge role in amplifying the NHF’s messaging and campaigns in traditional and social media.
We’re a proactive team, and this is a chance to be creative and develop exciting digital campaigning content as well as tell stories online that champion the amazing work housing associations do.
Our social media channels are busy and growing. You will also be responsible for effectively moderating and monitoring them as well as working closely with staff around the organisation to make sure we have the best social media presence possible.
