Love creating content that people stop scrolling for? Passionate about storytelling, social trends and bringing bold ideas to life? If you’re looking for a creative role where your voice matters and your ideas can genuinely shape a national brand, this could be the perfect next step.
At YMCA England & Wales, we’re searching for a talented Digital Communications & Content Officer to join our energetic and collaborative Communications team.

Alongside strong creative instincts, you’ll use insights and analytics to continually refine and improve performance.

Can you tell a great story?
Hope into Action is an inspiring story. It starts with a couple, Ed and Rach Walker, who decide to use £30,000 of their own money to buy a house for people who were homeless in Peterborough in 2010. And from this seed, an organisation has grown which 16 years later has 134 houses and has seen over £34 million invested in homes for people who were homeless.
Hope into Action is a story of how faith in God has been put into action and led to resources being shared, new relationships being formed and people’s lives being transformed.
Last year we housed over 500 people who had been homeless. Each of those individuals has a story to share of how Hope into Action has helped them. This is the story we want to share.
The Communications & Engagement Lead is responsible for implementing Hope into Action’s communications and engagement strategy. Working closely with the CEO, they will be responsible for telling the Hope into Action story and driving increased engagement with our vision for every church in the UK to be engaged in ending homelessness.
At least 50% of the role is harvesting stories from around our Network to create engaging content which expresses our vision and mission. We want someone who can be both responsive and strategic. To hear a story from our frontline workers and be able to share it on our website and social media later that day – whilst also working towards the longer term goal of more people in the UK being aware of our work and its impact.
We are focused on combining both professional excellence and spiritual passion. The first quality we look for in our staff, therefore, is a passion for the work we do. This needs to be matched by integrity and commitment to leading by our values. You will work closely with all other departments in the organisation, so an ability to build and maintain strong relationships in a rapidly growing and constantly changing organisation is essential.
A deep commitment to the Christian faith is essential as is the ability to communicate the nuance of our faith-driven work sensitively, maturely and passionately. Whilst our office hours are 9am-5pm we support staff in their flexible working. For this role you will be expected to be in our Peterborough Support Centre Office at least 2 days per week with occasional travel to other locations. Our office is located 5 minutes’ walk from Peterborough railway station and with good parking facilities available.
We are committed to staff care and realise the importance of a good work-life balance. To help our staff perform to their best, we offer a range of benefits including generous leave allowance and occupational sick pay provision, retreat days and sabbatical leave, an employee assistance programme and a generous workplace pension, to name a few.
Hope into Action has a great story to share – could you come and help us tell it better?
