Refuge is looking for an exceptional Media & PR officer. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced PR to join a small, high achieving team at one of the UK’s leading charities at a time when domestic abuse and gender-based violence is high on the social and political agenda.
In this varied and fast-paced role, you will be responsible for developing relationships with key media outlets, in order to raise awareness of domestic abuse and drive social change. Never before has domestic abuse been so well profiled and recognised – and we need to harness this public and political awareness to drive real change for women and their children.
This post is restricted to women due to the nature of the role. The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
