Harris Hill is working with an international environmental charity, who are looking to cover an interim Communications Officer role for 3dpw, on a remote basis. This covers permanent recruitment.

The role itself will run until Christmas and possibly the new year. We are looking for an immediate start.

The post of the Communications Officer reports directly to the CEO, but works with internal fundraising, programme and marketing teams to promote the work of the charity, report on fundraising and manage communications to various stakeholders and supporters.

This role follows a period of outsourcing their work to an agency, so this brings this work back in house, with a handover happening before they total removal in December, but also covering the permanent recruitment period. 

The purpose of the Communications Officer is to raise the profile of the charity, to highlight the work they do, reach current supporters and allow to increase our supporter base.  The role will deepen engagement and ensure that the brand identity, messaging and tone of voice build a coherent, compelling and distinctive brand.

In a typical day, you could be writing a press release announcing new funding partnerships, speaking to the programmes team to develop impact stories that showcase their work transforms lives, you could be designing an impact report for one of their programmes, supporting ongoing fundraising campaigns through social media communications or developing a monthly newsletter to supporters.

Experience:

A strong track record of delivering engaging social media content across different channels and audiences to support organisational priorities.

Excellent writing skills, able to adapt for different channels and audiences. Compelling and grammatically correct.

Basic video editing skills.

SME mentality; comfortable with a broad role in a small organisation and happy to flex from the strategic to tactical, taking a ‘hands-on’ approach.

Self-directed, able to work without undue supervision.

Resilient under pressure with excellent interpersonal skills.

Change lives in a life-changing career

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.

The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer. We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.

We challenge the systems and policies that surround children and young people, we highlight gaps and campaign for change. Because we know what a better future could look like. And we know what we need to do to make that future a reality. We need to push harder, reach further and work smarter. And we need the right people on our team to help us get there. People like you.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.
