About Woman's Trust

Woman’s Trust was established almost thirty years ago and is the leading specialist in mental health services for women. Led by and for women, it aims to ensure that women affected by domestic abuse can live a safe and healthy life, free from further harm. Our approach is trauma-informed and person-centred, empowering survivors on their journey to recover from the trauma. We support 900 women and children annually, with an income of £1.3m and 40 staff. We are committed to a positive, inclusive and equitable environment for our staff, service users and volunteers. Alongside our current service provision, we are focused on developing innovative mental health services for young women and girls, launching peer-led support groups and providing therapeutic groups to children and their mothers. We are also committed to developing further awareness-raising workshops and training for professionals, building on our research and policy expertise to improve systems nationally. As demand for our service grows, we are ambitious to double the number of women we support each year, achieved in large part through the success of our fundraising team in increasing our income.

We are looking for someone with a minimum of five years’ senior media relations experience within the VAWG or mental health sectors.

• Provide senior communications counsel and advice to the CEO, Chair and Senior Leadership Team
• Work and develop relationships with colleagues across the VAWG and mental health sectors in support of shared communications objectives
• Represent the organisation as and when needed at external events or media events

We’re looking for someone to come and join our friendly and dedicated team based in London for a period of three to four months while we re-assess our requirements internally and recruit for the position permanently.

The consultant will be expected to provide regular updates on progress and will be supported with an induction with team members from across the organisation.

You’re passionate about engaging communities and connecting people with meaningful volunteering opportunities and enjoy using creativity, marketing, and social media to inspire action.

As Local Volunteering Attraction Coordinator, you'll play a key role in promoting volunteering and driving new volunteer applications to support and grow our services. Working flexibly and independently, you'll engage with local communities, build relationships with organisations, and use a range of marketing and outreach activities to encourage people to get involved. You'll need to be adaptable, self-motivated, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider team, using technology to stay connected.

You'll develop and implement strategic recruitment plans, using a mix of social media, local media, community events, and partnerships to identify potential volunteers. Representing Guide Dogs at events and fairs, you'll raise awareness of our work and inspire people to take the next step in their volunteering journey. Planning and hosting events will be a key part of the role, ensuring that engagement is maximised, and recruitment targets are met.

To be successful in this role, you'll need experience in volunteer recruitment, community outreach, marketing, or related fields, with a strong ability to engage and inspire others. You'll be confident in delivering marketing campaigns, creating engaging advertising materials, and using data to track and improve recruitment strategies. A degree or formal qualifications in marketing or volunteering would be beneficial, but not essential.

This is a part-time home-based role, working 28 hours per week, with regular travel across Bristol and Somerset and down through Devon & Cornwall.  You’ll need to demonstrate a proactive, flexible approach and willingness to work occasional evenings and weekends to attend key events. The closest office is Bristol.  In this role, you can make a tangible impact in growing an engaged and passionate volunteer community.

No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.

Interviews for this role are planned to take place W/C 21 April.

For high volumes of applications, we reserve the right to close adverts earlier than advertised.
