About Pembroke House

Pembroke House is a centre for social action and residential community in Walworth, south-east London. 

We were founded in 1885, by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge, as one of the first settlement houses. Shocked by growing poverty and inequality, the pioneers of the settlement movement sought a new approach: taking up residence to live, work and solve problems alongside local communities. 

For over 130 years, we’ve been working to bridge traditional divides and unite people – whatever their background or walk of life – in building a better Walworth.

The Copywriter will play a crucial role in Pembroke House’s fundraising efforts and in communicating our work to a range of audiences. This position involves crafting compelling written materials for a range of audiences, including funding applications, annual reports and longer-form external communications. You’ll be an exceptional writer, with a passion for storytelling and a proven ability to inspire action through works. And you’ll combine these written skills with a proven eye for detail and the ability to see overlapping tasks through to completion.
