We focus on sites at risk in areas of least investment - in local communities that most need our help - ensuring a sustainable future for every project we work on. To date, we have restored 850 sites across London.

In 2020 we launched our ground-breaking Proud Places youth programme to inspire and engage young people with the world around them, helping them develop knowledge and skills now and for the future. We work with mainstream schools across London and are the only UK heritage organisation to specialise in working with excluded pupils, young  people at risk of gang exploitation and young refugees.

As our programme work has grown, so has our team and investment into our communications capability. This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled communications professional to make a meaningful impact on London’s people and places. The Head of Communications is a newly created role reporting directly to the Director (Chief Executive).

With over 40 active projects and a vibrant youth engagement program, HOLT offers a wealth of compelling stories to share. As Head of Communications, you will focus our communications strategy to promote our mission, connect projects with diverse audiences, and engage a broad spectrum of supporters. The Head of Communications will bring expertise, fresh perspectives, and a focus on growing media relations. We have warm relationships with journalists and media contacts, which we are keen to build on as our work grows. A natural writer, you’ll produce high-quality content for our website and social media, liaising with our talented design team on videos, photography, and other assets. You’ll build our profile, showcase our work, and advance our social impact and reach.

We are a committed team with an entrepreneurial, creative approach; we find joy and purpose in our work and strive to create a collaborative, stimulating environment. We are seeking a warm, imaginative, and persuasive communicator with a keen eye for storytelling who can champion our work across press, digital, and social media platforms. Working closely with the Director, you will lead a small team and collaborate with senior colleagues in Fundraising, Programmes, and Trustees to capture and communicate our impact effectively.

While communications experience in arts, heritage, or youth engagement is an advantage, the qualities we value most are creativity, curiosity, proactivity, and collaboration. A commitment to our mission and a deep interest in serving young people, London, and its communities are essential.
