Content Creator
Hope and Homes for Children is looking for a Creative Copywriter to join its Public Engagement team and help millions of separated children get Back to Family.
About the role:
As our Content Creator you’ll become our organisation's go-to person for written content, with the creative flair, passion and urgency to produce and edit brilliantly written copy which strikes a chord with our target audiences.
Collaborating with colleagues across the organisation, you’ll consistently craft compelling stories and content that create connection, mutual respect and empathy between our supporters and the children and families we support. Your writing skills will help us grab people’s attention, change perspectives and raise vital funds. You’ll be committed to authentic anti-racist storytelling, telling the whole story not a single story, amplifying people’s own voices, and representing them with dignity, agency and hope. And you’ll uphold our brand guidelines and tone of voice of being unapologetic, deeply human and alive with hope. You will also help create image and video elements for social media, help moderate and respond to comments on social media and have input into the content strategy of the organisation.
You’ll join a brave, can-do organisation and do work that matters day in, day out. You’ll be encouraged to think and act big, and you’ll be mandated and supported to make things happen. You’ll work with dedicated, passionate champions who are ready to take bold steps to inspire change by advocating and engaging individuals, communities and organisations across the globe in the foundational importance of family love for children.
About you:
You’ll be a key member of the Public Engagement team. To be successful in this role, you’ll need excellent copywriting skills and the ability to adapt language and style to meet the needs of different channels and audiences while maintaining an accurate brand spirit and consistent tone of voice. You'll also need significant experience of working in a copywriting role, producing and editing compelling, story-led written content for both print and digital channels.
About Hope and Homes for Children:
- Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.
- Science shows what we all know that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of sexual and physical abuse, as well as extreme neglect.
- Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.
