Job description

We Need Your Help!

The need in our community is growing fast, and our movement is gaining momentum — but we cannot reach the adults who need us most without a powerful voice, a clear message, and a brand that cuts through the noise. We urgently need a leader who believes in storytelling, visibility, and the power of communication to change lives.

Become Our Volunteer Head of Marketing & Communications and Help Amplify a Movement

Unlock YOUR Potential supports NEET adults (18+) across East London to rebuild confidence, access coaching, improve wellbeing, and reconnect with their ambitions. As a start‑up, we are building everything from scratch — and our brand, messaging, and public presence are critical to our growth.

We need someone who can shape our voice, build our visibility, and help us reach the adults who need us now more than ever.

This is your chance to build the entire marketing and communications function of a future charity.

Your Impact

As our Head of Marketing & Communications, you will be the architect of how the world sees us. Your leadership will determine how effectively we reach NEET adults, inspire volunteers, attract partners, and build trust in our mission.

You will help us:

  • Build a strong, recognisable brand rooted in hope, empowerment, and bold orange energy

  • Create messaging that resonates with adults who feel overlooked or disconnected

  • Grow our digital presence across social media, our website, and community platforms

  • Support our journey toward charity registration by strengthening our public profile

  • Tell the stories that inspire action, partnership, and long‑term support

Your work will directly influence how many people we reach — and how many lives we can change.

What You’ll Lead On

  • Brand Strategy: Developing our tone of voice, visual identity, and messaging framework.

  • Digital Marketing: Leading our social media strategy, content creation, and online engagement.

  • Campaigns: Designing awareness campaigns that drive sign‑ups, partnerships, and volunteer recruitment.

  • Storytelling: Showcasing participant journeys, community impact, and success stories.

  • Press & Partnerships: Building relationships with local media, community groups, and corporate partners.

  • Internal Communications: Ensuring our team and volunteers stay aligned, informed, and inspired.

This is a strategic and hands‑on leadership role — ideal for someone who wants to build a brand with purpose.

What You Bring

You don’t need to have worked in a charity before — what matters most is creativity, clarity, and a passion for communication.

You may be:

  • Experienced in marketing, communications, PR, branding, or digital content

  • Skilled at turning complex ideas into clear, compelling messages

  • Confident in social media strategy, storytelling, or campaign planning

  • Someone who understands the challenges faced by NEET adults or who brings lived experience

  • A leader who wants to use their skills to create real social impact

Above all, you bring heart, creativity, and a belief in the power of communication to change lives.

What You Gain

  • A senior leadership role in a growing social impact start‑up

  • The chance to build a full marketing and communications function from scratch

  • Real influence over how adults in East London discover life‑changing support

  • Experience in brand building, digital strategy, and charity communications

  • A meaningful legacy — your work will shape how our movement grows for years to come

 

This is an opportunity to give a voice to a community that deserves to be heard.

If you’re ready to help us amplify change, we’d love to hear from you.
