About Smart Works   

Smart Works is a UK charity that exists to give unemployed women the clothing, coaching and confidence they need to succeed at interview and get the job. The Smart Works community brings this mission to life, working together to support and empower women in their professional pursuits. 

We’re dynamic, high profile and fast-growing. Powered by volunteers, the Smart Works service is delivered in 11 centres across the UK. Since 2013, Smart Works has helped over 40,000 women, and we’re on track to support 10,000 women this year alone. After visiting Smart Works, two thirds of clients secure a job within a month.  It is our mission that any woman who needs our service should be able to find her way to a Smart Works centre. Find out more on our website. 
 

About the role 
 

We are seeking a PR and Communications Manager to join our ambitious team. We know that incredible work goes on behind the scenes at Smart Works, and that what we do meaningfully helps to change the lives of thousands of women every year. But we need you to help us shout from the rooftops about our service and impact, actively seeking media opportunities and press coverage, to increase our public profile. Your work will make a real difference – spreading the Smart Works message not only to the women we exist to support, but fundraisers, referral partners, volunteers and the public too.  

Duties and responsibilities

  1. You will amplify and lead existing integrated campaigns, including the Smart Works Unemployment Index, International Women’s Day and International Day of the Girl. With the support of the Digital Marketing Manager, Graphic Design Manager and Digital Communications Manager, you’ll ensure our campaigns are widely noticed and talked about, in the press, online and local community.
  2. You will develop and manage media opportunities (proactive and reactive), including owning our press office, writing and distributing press releases, building relationships with journalists, tracking coverage, and briefing spokespeople. 
  3. You will lead and develop our Client Champions programme and case studies, ensuring the client remains central to the charity’s external voice, proactively seeking opportunities to tell their stories to encourage support/donations from external communities, and managing any nationwide communication moments/events.
  4. You will support our engagement with Patrons and Ambassadors, managing relationships where appropriate and seeking new advocates who can authentically help tell our story, to reach more people. 
  5. You will lead the coordination of our internal communications calendar and reporting, working with internal stakeholders across Partnerships, Operations and our local centres to ensure that key moments are recognised, with support at a national level where appropriate.
  6. You will support with other team tasks, such as social media scheduling and content creation.

If you have a solid understanding and experience of PR and campaign work, this is an incredible opportunity to use your expertise to change women’s lives.

The successful candidate will report to our Director of Communications and Marketing. The role has no line management responsibility but will work closely with colleagues – including our Digital Marketing Manager, Digital Communications Manager and Graphic Design Manager – so you should be used to collaborating with others, in a dynamic environment.
