About you
The PR and Communications Manager role will suit someone who has a passion for showcasing the impact of an organisation with stakeholder audiences.
We are looking for someone who is proactive and creative, with an eye for detail. You should be a compelling storyteller, with experience in developing engaging content in various media.
Ideally, you will have a background in media relations or PR, but if not, a sound understanding of the UK media landscape is essential.
You do not need a background in science to apply for this role – we are looking for someone who wants to communicate messages and deliver excellent content.
You will have the opportunity to work with a range of stakeholders in this role, including some of the BSA’s beneficiaries, our partners and sponsors, the press and media, as well as contractors. You need to feel comfortable meeting and talking to new people.
You will occasionally work at events, so a professional manner is a must, and a willingness to travel to other parts of the UK from time to time.
The closing date for applications is 23.59 on Sunday 15 September 2024.
Interviews are due to take place w/c 30 September 2024.
You will be informed as soon as possible after the application deadline whether you have been selected for interview.

Our commitment to EDI
For the BSA's vision to come to fruition, we need to help science become part of culture, including those who are currently least engaged. We need to be able to engage with people in groups that are poorly represented in science, and that’s why equality, diversity & inclusion (EDI) needs to be central to our activities.
The BSA has established three objectives for our work with EDI:
- Develop our staff and internal systems to ensure the BSA reflects the society we want to see, and develops inclusive culture and policies;
- Change our programmes to increase their relevance to audiences who are traditionally under-represented in science engagement activities, and empower people to run science engagement activities for their networks and communities;
- Influence other organisations and individuals in the science engagement to sector to develop and improve their EDI practices in capability and audience development to reach new audiences.
We recognise that in many settings, at the BSA and beyond, EDI can be seen as an add-on or ‘fix’ to the regular work. Our aim is for EDI to be the heart of everything we do.
No agencies please.
