REF-215 128

Switchboard’s listening service is available to all LGBTQIA+ communities in the UK. It offers a safe space for anyone to discuss anything, including topics such as sexuality, gender identity, sexual health, emotional well-being and more. Handling over 17,000 conversations each year, their services continue to be in high demand, with their network of volunteers covering a vital service to people across the country in times of need, but also providing incredible insights into the issues that impact the LGBTQIA+ community the most. 

Since 2021 the organisation has been on a journey to establish a staff team to oversee day-to-day operations within the charity. They are now looking to introduce this new role as they grow throughout 2024 to a team of 11. This is a very exciting time of growth for the charity.

Prospectus is delighted to be supporting Switchboard as they look to appoint a Communications Lead to join the organisation. They will support the communications strategy across the organisation, ensuring effective messaging both internally and externally is being delivered in a clear and compelling manner. This position is offered on a full-time, hybrid basis with 2 days working in the London office a week and the remaining flexibly from home. 

The role:

The Communications Lead will report directly to the Head of Communications and Fundraising. They will work to deliver many of Switchboard’s communications and support its fundraising activities. Communicating with service users is key; Switchboard needs to convey compelling stories that build its profile and raise awareness of the brand from a 50-year (and counting!) mission supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community. 

This role will deliver on a strategic communications and marketing plan. Together, these will grow awareness and engagement with the charity’s brand to ensure service users know they are here to listen when needed. Also significant is the need to attract a wide range of volunteers representing all aspects of the LGBTQIA+ communities. The charity is keen to engage potential volunteers across the UK, particularly from underrepresented groups within the Switchboard volunteer community.

From a fundraising perspective, they will communicate the need and value for financial support to the community and potential donors through campaigns to increase Switchboard’s income, which will also be key to this role.

The person:

The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in a similar communications-driven role, ideally (but not essentially) in a charity setting but equally this experience could come from other sectors. Confident, either through personal or professional means creating compelling static and video content for social media platforms, including Instagram, Twitter (X), Linkedin and perhaps TikTok; with experience designing graphics using Canva, Illustrator or similar, as well as shooting and editing video. This person will be a confident and creative writer. They will have written articles or blogs, as well as copy for social media and websites. And have a basic understanding of website maintenance using a CMS. 

A big ingredient of success in this role will be an appreciation of the challenges faced by people from all sections of the LGBTQIA+ community and the importance of equality and diversity in both personal and professional settings. This passion will underpin all of the work carried out by the team and this person will be able to work collaboratively and proactively with a small, hard-working team of like-minded people, all striving for the same aims and objectives. Highly organised and self-motivated, this person will enjoy working as part of a team and will enjoy bringing ideas to the table in addition to being keen to listen to other people’s views and making sure they are heard and incorporated into strategic planning and overall approach to messaging on behalf of the charity.
