JOB PURPOSE
The Senior Communications Officer works with the Communications team, raising vital support for displaced people around the world through transformational partnerships, creative campaigns and fundraising appeals.
Reporting to the Senior PR Manager, the Senior Communications Officer works across all the charity’s communications activity (PR and digital communications), with a particular focus on promoting and supporting the charity’s partnerships.
This involves identifying opportunities to amplify our partnerships, events, appeals and campaigns through earned media, digital communications and other activities, in order to support UK for UNHCR’s fundraising and public advocacy objectives. Raising awareness of global refugee crises and UNHCR’s humanitarian operations forms a central part of this storytelling, as well as understanding of thematic areas of UNHCR’s work such as education or climate change, and PR moments throughout the year.
Working with the wider Communications team, the Senior Communications Officer will also work with UNHCR experts and our Storyteller Programme, enabling the charity to identify, engage with and support staff and storytellers (including refugees) to share their stories through charity communications across all channels, events and with media.
This role requires close collaboration with the Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy fundraising teams and other members of the Communications team, and providing support to more junior members of the Communications team as needed.
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
United Kingdom for UNHCR is the United Nations Refugee Agency’s national charity partner for the United Kingdom. We generate public awareness of the plight of refugees and raise funds to help protect them through UNHCR’s humanitarian operations across the world.
Our supporters include UK private individuals, communities, corporate partners, trusts and foundations. The funds we raise help UNHCR deliver emergency relief such as shelter, medical care and basic supplies to people fleeing conflict and persecution, as well as healthcare, education and livelihoods opportunities for those who remain displaced over the long term.
Nobody chooses to be a refugee, but we can all play a part in their protection, and we want those who work with us to share our values and passion for the cause.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING
We strongly value diversity and recognise that it is critical to our success and the cause that we serve. We are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all who work with us and strongly welcome applications from diverse backgrounds, particularly those with lived experience of being a refugee, asylum seeker, internally displaced person, or a stateless person.
UK for UNHCR is proud to have Diversity & Inclusion Working Group. The Diversity & Inclusion Working Group is a group of colleagues focusing on tasks that drive action in the implementation of our D&I Approach. The group also works to create safe spaces that brings colleagues together for events, discussions and learning experiences that celebrate and support diversity and tackle barriers to inclusion.
We are also open to flexibility in many ways, including an element of working from home and flexible hours. Please don’t be afraid to speak to us about this at the interview stage, so we can explore what’s possible.
