Digital Communications Jobs
Our Communications Manager is taking maternity leave from mid-June and we are looking for someone to cover the role for approx 9 months. We are a small team and this is the only communications role, therefore the Communications Manager has a lot to do, including:
- Running our whole comms operation – social media, website, event marketing, PR.
- Developing and delivering our communications strategy
- Creating stories and content for different channels
- Working on communications projects with people with lived experience
- Working with our individual giving lead on fundraising campaigns
A major rebrand and a new name have helped us build our profile over the past three years, and we’re working hard to increase recognition and support further. The stories of the people we work with are central to that, and it’s their voices, not the charity’s, that belong in the foreground. So a key part of the job is to build relationships with those people, and support them to tell their stories as they want to, empowering them and keeping them safe. This means staying flexible, in the content and the work of gathering it. In the immigration system and the lives of people going through it, it’s wise to expect the unexpected, so plans can change at short notice. This is a special opportunity to work join a supportive, dynamic team delivering extraordinary work.
What we’re looking for
1. ‘Must haves’: we believe that the right person for this key role must bring with them:
- Experience – you have wide communications experience that enables you to cover the whole range of work that we need (see above)
- Independence – you are pro-active, well organised and can get things done on your own, with more guidance on aims than methods
- Collaboration – you can work well with colleagues, professionals and people with lived experience, and deliver great projects together
- Communication – your speaking and writing communicates clearly and powerfully
- Story-telling – you know how to create compelling content that tells stories of change and empowerment
- Understanding – you appreciate the purpose and complexity of our work
- Commitment – your practice fits our values of empowerment, co-creation, curiosity and respect
- Flexibility – you can adapt to sudden changes and vary your working hours sometimes, eg to work at evenings or weekends
2. ‘Also haves’: if you also bring any of the following, they will be important for us:
- Work experience in a communications role in a charity or arts company – especially if it was a role like this in a small organisation
- Practical skills in one or more of: graphic design, photography, audio/video production, digital advertising
- Experience of working sensitively with people who have been through difficult experiences to tell their stories
- Experience of overseeing creative freelancers
- Experience of implementing and developing communications strategy
- Experience of careful messaging in a politically sensitive context
- Experience of using reporting & analytics tools
- Culture and language skills relevant to people in immigration settings
Lived experience and professional experience
Professional experience and lived experience are both valuable for this role. We want to bring people with personal experience of immigration detention, or the asylum process, or immigration enforcement into our team, so if you have this kind of experience then we would really love to hear from you. We need you to bring the ‘must have’ qualities listed above, but do not require a conventional professional CV full of paid communications and marketing roles. What we do need is someone who can help us deliver. That means understanding the people we work with, and knowing how to deliver organisational communications that meet their needs.
If you have lots of professional experience, together with strong understanding of our kind of work and the needs we address, but not the personal experience specified above, then we would also love to hear from you. We want people with all kinds of backgrounds and experience to apply for this job. We very much encourage applications from people from culturally diverse backgrounds, disabled or neurodivergent applicants, and people of different ages, gender, sexual orientations and socio-economic backgrounds.
What we can offer you
We’re a specialist organisation working in a fraught environment that changes constantly. We’re developing better ways to support everyone working for Hear Me Out. So we will look to provide the right kind of offer to our new Communications Manager, tailored to their needs. For example:
- The work can bring stress and distress to all of us, so we have ‘clinical supervision’ sessions and are developing other ways to offer care and support
- We can arrange mentoring for you, to support you in delivering the role
- We can arrange training, for example if there are specific skills you need to learn
- Hear Me Out is a friendly and collaborative team where we look out for each other
- We’ll be open to your ideas about what kind of support will help you the most
Terms & conditions
- Contract: Temporary (9-month) contract, subject to a 3-month probationary period
- Location: The team meets at its office in central London on Wednesdays and works in a hybrid way the rest of the week.
- Hours: Part-time position, 2.5 days (18.75 hours) per week (0.5 FTE)
- Salary: £40,000 per year pro rata (ie £20,000), gross
- Annual leave: 36 days paid holiday leave per year pro rata (ie 18 days), including statutory bank holidays
- Sick pay: 25 days per year pro rata (ie 12.5 days) on full pay, followed by 25 days pro rata (ie 12.5 days) on half pay, followed by Statutory Sick Pay only
- Pension: 6% employer contribution to HMO’s selected Stakeholder pension scheme or to another scheme of the employee’s choice

Our client is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow, and develop through Education. As an independent funder, the charity generates income from its endowment, which includes substantial property holdings and financial investments. This means it does not fund raise. To date, the organisation has awarded over £225 million in grants to a range of organisations that seek to promote the life chances of children and young people through Education, with around £15 million in grants distributed each year. The Charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 (or up to 30 for people with special educational needs and/or disabilities) who live within nine Boroughs in West, Central and North London.
We are delighted to be working with the Charity to recruit a permanent Communications & Social Media Officer to join its established team based at conveniently located offices in Central London.
The role:
This newly created position will expand the capacity of the organisation's communications team, supporting the Communications, PR & Events Manager in delivering engaging, high-impact external communications. The focus will be on managing the Charity’s digital presence, including its social media channels and newsletter to enhance visibility, engagement and public awareness.
The role requires a strategic, organised and creative approach to social media platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo and BlueSky. It will entail preparing and delivering innovative and compelling content in both written, visual and video production formats, which showcase the work of the Charity and its network of grantees. Using the latest platforms and technology such as Canva and InDesign, this role will help tell the important stories which emanate from the work of the charity, including publicising events, raising awareness and addressing interesting themes relevant to the work of the Charity and its community.
This role will also monitor and evaluate online engagement and will ensure there is a vibrant, creative and relevant tone across all platforms and mediums. They will also contribute to maintaining the website and newsletter, gathering stories from across the Charity’s networks and ensuring it is accessible and up to date with current affairs and events. Working closely with the Communications, Events and PR Manager, this person will be responsible for identifying opportunities to repurpose and amplify content across multiple channels to ensure the Charity’s media presence is maintained and enhanced both on a local, London wide and National basis.
Beyond digital communications, this role will support a busy calendar of events throughout the year, managing logistics from planning to execution, including navigation lists, booking venues, catering arrangements and on the day support and facilitation. This is a wide-ranging communications role with plenty of scope for development and growth, with the flexibility to be tailored to the strengths and interests of the postholder.
In addition to working for Charity, the post holder will also support the COO of the foundation in its newly developing communications work. This will require working across 2 schools, and the Charity in collaboration with the communications teams across the Foundation.
The person:
The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in a similar social media or digital communications role, ideally within the charity or not-for-profit sector but equally having come from a commercial setting, where an active interest in charitable work can be clearly evidenced. Bright, engaging and intellectually curious, this person will have a natural enthusiasm for the work of the charity and the desire to be an active member of an office-based team, all working towards the same goals.
An outstanding communicator both in person verbally and in writing, this person will have a proven track record of running digital communications activities and social media campaigns and will be proficient in design tools such as Canva, InDesign, Photoshop and PowerPoint, although training can be given where necessary. The ability to tailor the tone of content for various platforms and to appeal to a wide range of audiences, both locally, London wide and nationally will be important.
The desire to learn new skills will be strongly evident in this person, they will relish the thought of collaborating with colleagues to grow their expertise and to share ideas on how to optimise delivery across the digital and social media space. Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail, this person will be a strategic thinker with the ability to plan ahead and to spot opportunities further down the line to maximise the impact and reach of charity’s work. A working knowledge of WordPress and website management will be very useful but not essential.
Above all, this person will be an enthusiastic, ambitious and collaborative team player, who thrives in an office-based environment where they will be able to exchange ideas with other team members, celebrate success and ensure the overall charitable aims of the organisation and its community of grantees are met.
“We highly encourage applications from under-represented groups that reflect the diversity of our Charity’s Beneficial Area and the young people we aim to support.
