Based in: London office. (We are willing to consider remote working within the UK, with monthly in-person meetings in London, for the right candidate.)

Application deadline: 13th January 2025 (9AM)

Why this role is important – and why you’ll make a difference doing it:

HOPE not hate is the UK’s leading anti-fascist organisation. Our mission is simple – to monitor and challenge the far right, to engage in the communities that are susceptible to them and to address the issues and policies which give rise to them.

Our team includes researchers, educators, community activists and policy experts, as well as specialists with inside access to far right groups.

As a Content Officer, you’ll play a critical role in driving our digital engagement. By creating compelling content for our social media, website and email programmes, you’ll help us attract, inspire, and mobilise more people to stand against hate. 

Your role will include:

• Content Creation: Write, design, and produce engaging content, including social media posts, emails, website copy and more. Use tools like Canva, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and CapCut to create graphics and videos from new and existing footage. 

• Digital Campaigns: Work with the Digital Lead to plan and execute creative campaigns that inspire action and raise funds. 

• Audience Engagement: Build and manage our presence on Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, X, and BlueSky, and engage with supporters through other platforms. Act as the first point of contact for supporters, responding to messages and comments and managing replies. 

• Performance Monitoring: Run tests on content across platforms, analyse results, and use insights to refine and improve our engagement strategies. 

What we think you’ll need to be able to do the job:

Essential

• 1+ year of experience in digital work for a campaign, charity, or political organisation. 

• Creativity and strong ideas for engaging content. 

• Experience in copywriting, graphic design, and video production and tools like Canva, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and CapCut. 

• Strong organisational skills, and ability to prioritise effectively. 

Desirable: 

• Knowledge and experience in the areas we work on would be an advantage – tackling the far right; building community resilience against hate, division and oppression; and campaigning against policies that fuel hate. 

• Experience using tools like Engaging Networks or WordPress. 

We are looking for someone with the emotional resilience to work in a field that involves challenging content, good political judgement and awareness and the ability to work under pressure and reduced timescales.

We believe that our work will be at its best if it is created by people with a range of backgrounds and experiences. We are keen to interview people who will add diversity to our team. We are an antifascist organisation, which strives to be an effective ally in the wider fight against racism and inequity.

Contract length: 4 months FTC, approximately mid February to mid June. Must be available for delivery of events in mid May to mid June. 

Hours: Full-time (37.5 hours per week – flexible hours of working will be considered for the right candidate)

Salary: £33,000 per annum (pro rata)

Benefits: Nine-day fortnight (with alternate Fridays designated as a day off), pension, 25 days Annual Leave (pro rata), staff learning fund, enhanced parental benefits package.

Reports to: Senior Policy and Engagement Officer

Location: London office, with an optional hybrid model, but expected to be in the office at least two days a week. Open to remote working if based in one of our target regions (North East or South Wales)- feel free to enquire. The job will require UK-based travel for event preparation and delivery (more details in job description)

Why this role is important – and why you’ll make a difference doing it:

HOPE not hate is the UK’s leading anti-fascist organisation. Our mission is simple: To monitor and challenge the far right, to engage in the communities that are susceptible to them and to address the issues and policies which give rise to them.

The 2024 summer riots laid clear the susceptibility within communities for far-right narratives. Locally, many stakeholders are struggling with providing alternatives that combat this framing.

As part of our wider community resilience work, we will be hosting a series of community events across the country, with the aim of celebrating local identity, strengthening social connection and boosting resilience to far-right agitation. We have a history of planning these events in the communities that need them the most, for example in Bradford.

About the role
The Events Administrators (X2) will be assisting our Community Outreach Officer to deliver community events across the country in our target areas, at the end of May/beginning of June. This includes 4 confirmed events in Southport, Sunderland, Wigan and Port Talbot, with the potential for lighter-touch facilitation to support volunteer-run events in up to 5 more areas. 

This role will involve frequent travel to our target areas to meet with local partners. Willingness to work with a variety of stakeholders is important. The role will include liaising with local authorities, national and local organisations and grassroots community activists to deliver the events. An understanding that communities and community groups are the experts on their own needs is crucial – solutions should be developed with, not for, those most impacted.

Key responsibilities

• Work with the Community Outreach Officer to develop and deliver from start to finish a number of community events in target areas across the country. 
• Help to identify and maintain strong working relationships with event contributors, ensuring a diverse range of local stakeholders are involved in organisation.
• Ensure all event logistics are handled professionally, on time, and within budget, including contributions from external partners and local community stakeholders.

• Contribute to the design, production and delivery of event advertisement material. 
• Ensure events meet all accessibility requirements.
• Assist the Community Outreach Officer in proactively tracking and monitoring event expenditure and income.
• Regularly travel to target areas to meet local stakeholders involved in event design. 
• Participate in delivering the events. 

General Responsibilities

• Maintain and promote the mission of HOPE not hate.
• Uphold HOPE not hate’s values when working with communities, stakeholders and colleagues.
• Participate in events and activities to showcase the work of HOPE not hate
• Attend agreed supervision and review meetings with your line manager.
• Identify and undertake other duties as appropriate to this role.

Skills requirements

• Experience of in-person design, delivery and/or management of events of more than 100 people
• Effective stakeholder management skills, particularly experience of working with local community or grassroots organisations
• Ability to work with budgets and track income and expenditure for a variety of activities simultaneously.
• Strong organisational and administrative skills, with attention to detail. 
• Good communication and interpersonal skills, with ability to discuss sensitive and emotive issues in tense environments. 
• Self-sufficient, with the ability to independently find solutions to problems as and when they arise.

How we recruit 

Diversity and inclusion are important to us. We want our team of staff to be representative of all sections of society, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.   We understand that you may not meet every requirement listed, but if you feel you could make a valuable contribution to our charity, we encourage you to apply. You may be a great fit for this or another role.
 
We use the recruitment platform Hireful.  Using Hireful allows us to reduce unconscious bias and subjectivity, and candidates experience a more skills-based recruitment process which helps us to hire the best talent for our roles 
 
The application process includes an inbuilt anonymisation feature which removes identifiable personal data from your CV.   To enable this please ensure your name you use on the application form matches exactly with that on your CV.
 
We also add competency questions to the process which asses your approach to real issues that you would face in this role.   Each response is anonymised and reviewed separately by each hiring team member before the total scores are averaged to create a leader board of candidates. 

We would rather AI wasn't used for your answers as we want the real you, however we do reserve the right to reject applications if we feel the use of AI has been excessive.

Deadline to apply is Sunday 12th January 2025 and interviews are expected to be held the week of 20th January 2025.

The Talent Set are delighted to be working with Helpforce to recruit their Head of Communications. The charity offers a flexible working environment, with remote working, and an expectation to attend monthly team meetings at their London office.

•  Support colleagues across Helpforce in their effective and strategic communication with stakeholders and audiences, including developing the CRM (Salesforce). 
•  Work with the Comms team, colleagues, agencies and freelancers to create compelling content for the website, social media, newsletters, blogs, press releases and other communication materials and assets. 
•  Collaborate with and support other teams to ensure consistent messaging and brand alignment. 
•  Monitor and analyse communication performance, to support a culture of continual improvement. 
•  Ensure you and the Comms team stay up to date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies. 

Person Specification: 

•  A track record in creating and leading successful integrated, multi-channel marketing communications campaigns. 
•  The ability to think strategically while also being directly involved in content creation. 
•  The ability to come up with creative ideas that capture the media and other target audiences’ interest and secure coverage/engagement. 
•  Strong media relations experience. 
•  Exceptional written and spoken communication skills 
•  Good understanding of how to create compelling content for different audiences and capacity to brief relevant in-house or external specialists to deliver what’s needed. 
•  Ability to get to grips with a complex area of policy and practice, like healthcare, quickly. 
•  Experience of effective stakeholder communication and engagement. 
•  Strong interpersonal skills, especially the ability to provide wise and credible counsel to senior colleagues, and your peers and team. 
•  Excellent project management skills with the ability to handle multiple tasks and deadlines.
