The Youth Endowment Fund
Communications and Digital Marketing Officer
Contract: 2-year fixed term (potential to extend)
Location: Central London or Hybrid*(see below)
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence across England and Wales. We do this by funding great initiatives, finding out what works and working for change.
Key Responsibilities
YEF is entering a new phase of growing scale and ambition. There is more urgency and scope than ever for us to contribute meaningfully towards preventing violence amongst children and young people. Communicating with, informing and persuading our growing audiences about the vitality of our mission will require being innovative, hands-on and prepared to speak out with humanity and boldness.
The Public Affairs and Communications Team is crucial for effectively communicating and promoting YEF's ideas to a wider audience and driving demand for the evidence about what works to prevent violence amongst children and young people. We can only hope to achieve our mission if those working in our sectors hear from us about what works, trust our research and put our guidance into practice. We need policymakers, politicians and people in charge of services to listen and act, but also youth-workers, police, social workers, headteachers and young people to believe in our movement for change on the ground. We want to continue being a leading voice in the national conversation about preventing violence.
Your job will be essential to this. You will support the Public Affairs and Communications team to communicate our work as thoughtfully, impactfully and creatively as possible through engaging media communications and PR campaigns, video-led social media content and strategic digital marketing.
Your responsibilities will mostly fall under the following three areas:
Digital Marketing, Social Media and Video
- Editing, updating and maintaining content on the website, and collaborating with relevant staff teams to ensure content is up to date.
- Supporting with monthly digital content generation for YEF social media channels, including the planning and creation of short videos and boosting engagement for the YEF podcast.
- Supporting with segmented email marketing and newsletter content.
- Monitoring and evaluating our performance across digital platforms in order to expand the number of unique site visits to key website and social media pages, including the Toolkit, YouTube and LinkedIn.
Communications, Media and PR
- Drafting, managing and distributing stakeholder communications across public affairs and media for new YEF publications and outputs.
- Identifying and generating monthly media opportunities through outreach with journalists and collating media, publication and journalist lists.
- Managing the @hello organisational inbox and other communications streams.
