Communications officer

Ready to help amplify the voices of over 300,000 girls and volunteers?

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced communications officer to join our team and play a key role in shaping how we communicate with Girlguiding’s incredible members. If you’re a natural communicator with a passion for planning, who loves working on a variety of projects, this is the job for you.

Working in the communications team, you’ll be at the heart of everything we do, overseeing the planning, delivery, and coordination of effective communication strategies for our girls and volunteers. You’ll get to know our members inside and out,  ensuring we’re delivering exactly what they need, and you’ll work with teams across the organisation to build a consistent, integrated approach to member communications at Girlguiding.

About Girlguiding

This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding. We have much to be proud of in our one hundred years of history, but we know that to remain vibrant and relevant to young people we must continually evolve.

We’ve begun a process of significant change: transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future by putting young people at the heart of our organisation. We’re on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people across the UK every week.

Girlguiding values the differences that a diverse workforce brings and is committed to inclusivity, and to employing and supporting a diverse workforce. We are proud to work with a number of organisations who support us to create and maintain a culture that celebrates diversity and champions inclusion in the workplace. While Girlguiding’s young members may be women only, our staff team is mixed gender. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

Girlguiding operates a hybrid working arrangement where office based staff are required to attend the office on average two days a week, or 40% of working time across the year. Location allowance is payable to those who work in accordance with out hybrid working model. We’re committed though to supporting our staff to achieve a good work-life balance and offer flexible working options wherever we reasonably can. All staff are required to carry out our online health and safety training and complete a DSE risk assessment to ensure we can provide the support you require.
