People’s Health Trust is a national charity working with local communities across Great Britain to stop people dying too young, help them live longer, healthier lives. and make health equal.

Life expectancy rose for a hundred years, but in the last decade it has gone backwards — with the steepest declines in the most disadvantaged areas. Across Great Britain, people in these neighbourhoods die up to 13 years earlier than those in the wealthiest places.  These inequalities are driven by changeable factors such as poor housing, low-paid work, and limited access to good education, clean air and natural spaces. People’s Health Trust exists to end this unfairness and ensure everyone has the chance to live a long, healthy life.

Our work focuses on:

• programmes supporting people living in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods to address the conditions that make them unwell — from poor housing and limited access to advice services, to a lack of natural space and pathways into good work.
• using data, evidence and community expertise to design solutions, not just restate problems. Our work improves health and wellbeing from cradle to retirement.
• our lived experience network – made up of over 600 grassroots leaders from across England, Scotland and Wales – works directly with us to share evidence of the impact that poor housing, low income, poor jobs and poor education have on the lives of their communities, as well as timely and cost-effective solutions.

This role is crucial to the Trust’s future work. With a strong interest in social justice and a track record of delivering high-impact marketing and communications strategies, you will lead on media relations, digital content, campaigns, and brand management, ensuring the charity’s voice is clear, compelling, and aligned with its mission.

You will bring your expertise in brand development and delivering integrated communications plans to engage business, policy and funder audiences.

You will have a sound understanding of equity, diversity and inclusion and its effect on health and wellbeing.
