Support service manager jobs in aveley, essex
The Magistrates’ Association is the membership organisation for magistrates in England and Wales. Magistrates are the backbone of our justice system and we’re the only independent organisation that supports, champions and advocates for them.
One of the ways we do this is by sharing our members’ stories and achievements, as well as their concerns and issues, with key decision makers, the media and the wider public. That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a new Media and Communications Officer, so if you’re a talented writer, PR expert and team player with a strong instinct for storytelling and outstanding attention to detail, we’d love to hear from you.
It’s an exciting time to be joining us. In the last year-and-a-half, we’ve turbo-charged our media relations and have more than quadrupled the volume and value of our media coverage in that time. We’re becoming the go-to organization for the media looking for comment on magistrates and the wider justice system and we want to build on this, to further raise awareness of the vital work that magistrates – our members – do, and by doing this to better promote ourselves and our services to members, potential members, other stakeholders and the wider public.
It’s an interesting and varied job. On any day, you might be:
• Working with the chief executive and policy colleagues to plan our next big media campaign
• Brainstorming ideas for new blogs and news items for the website or magazine
• Managing and producing one of our two email newsletters for members
• Reaching out to the media to brief them on a story we want to promote
• Interviewing members for stories
• Creating and curating content for our website
• Planning and writing posts for our X and LinkedIn social media accounts
• Evaluating the success of a recent campaign or media push, and considering how we might do even better next time.

Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage is an independent movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The Living Wage campaign was launched by London Citizens in 2001 and aims to ensure low paid workers have enough money to get by and enough time for community and family life.
The Living Wage is an hourly rate calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK that employers choose to pay on a voluntary basis. The Living Wage Foundation recognises and celebrates employers that pay the real Living Wage through an accreditation programme which awards the Living Wage Employer Mark.
The independently-calculated rates are announced during Living Wage Week each November when we celebrate our growing network of Living Wage employers. There are now more than 15,000 accredited Living Wage employers across the UK which has secured pay rises for over 475,000 employees.
The Living Wage Foundation is part of Citizens UK – a community organising charity which works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take a deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.
