Who are Guts UK Charity?

Guts UK Charity is committed to a world where digestive conditions are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need. Too many people are suffering or dying in silence or alone. They don’t know where to turn for information or support, diagnosis takes too long for many, and treatment can often come too late.​

We are the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system. We raise vital awareness of digestive conditions, fund life-saving research, and provide patients and loved ones with expert information and support – we are informed by evidence and expertise, our community, and the patient voice.​ 

Our mission is simple: to improve the lives of millions of people affected by digestive conditions 

The role of Communications Manager

​As Communications Manager you’ll champion our charity’s work and brand. You’ll play a pivotal role in our charity, providing communications support across key areas of Guts UK’s work, including information, research and fundraising, as we deliver our new five-year strategy.

You’ll help us to grow and extend our reach, with demonstrable experience planning, creating and delivering high quality, engaging and informative communications, campaigns and content across channels including website, social media and print.

You’ll take the lead on media and PR activities for the charity, so significant experience working within an in-house press service is essential.

• Be a brave and bold communicator who values collaboration and connection, matching our values as a charity.

• Be comfortable working with members of our community to share their experiences with understanding and compassion.
• Be friendly and approachable and will enjoy working creatively and collaboratively within a small team, as well as with external stakeholders.
