About Us 

Our host organization are a federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. Together they have 870,000 members, 38,000 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK. They are at an exciting moment in their 110-year history, with the development of an ambitious new strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive. 

Collectively, The Wildlife Trusts have more than 900,000 members, employ 3,500 staff, look after over 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. They undertake research, they stand up for wildlife and wild places under threat, and they help people access nature. 

The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we will all live in. We need to reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale as a matter of urgency if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. This will require big, bold changes in the way we think and operate, and the development of a strong, collaborative culture. It will require key stakeholders and the public to take action for nature’s recovery. 

About You 

Can you use your expert media relations and proven line management skills to help put nature into recovery with one of the UK’s best-loved environmental charities? 

The Trusts’ small, but brilliant national media team creates billions of opportunities to ‘see’ their work in print, radio, online and on screen each year: from their commentary on Government policy to stories about their work on the ground, our interviews, quotes, videos and press releases are used in national and international stories as varied as action on peat to whale sightings. They regularly appear on BBC Countryfile, Springwatch and BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, as well as in international media such as National Geographic, Times of India and Washington Post. In 2023 alone, the team achieved c.43,000 appearances in the national media and a reach of over 530 billion opportunities to see. This coverage ensured that thry remain at the heart of the national conversation on why they need nature. 

But they’re not standing still because the nature and climate crises demand greater and more urgent action. They’re therefore looking for a resourceful and strategic thinker who can exploit new opportunities for The Trusts to continue to raise their profile and use their communications to drive greater awareness of and engagement with the things that need to happen to turn things round. 

This is a senior role and they’re looking for an experienced media manager with an excellent track record in media relations for high profile organisations, who can confidently deal with high-profile reactive media as well as developing and delivering evidence-based creative, innovative media strategies. You will be leading a small media team, so line management experience is essential to ensure the consistent delivery of high-profile, high-impact media activity, supervising the team’s research, writing and editing. Working alongside the Head of Media you will build an environment where your team can continuously develop to be their best and have space to innovate and find new channels to reach broader audiences with our messages. In particular, they are keen to do more to highlight the role of people power (community organising) in nature’s recovery. 

You will have significant previous experience of generating compelling news stories and features, and ideally you will have been involved in publicising policy and campaigns. There is never a dull moment and you will need to thrive working in an extremely fast-paced environment where organisational skills, prioritisation and attention to detail are a must. 

The Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst they are passionate in promoting their aims, they are not judgemental and are inclusive. They particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within their sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities. They are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities.

Please read their commitment statement available in the documents section. They are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults at risk. For applicable roles, applicants must be willing to undergo checks with past employers and Disclosure and Barring Service checks at the eligible level.

Salary £38K

Contract Full-Time, Permanent

An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Communication and Marketing Manager to join our dynamic social mobility charity which exists to remove the barriers that prevent children and young people having meaningful access to the natural world.  Through a week on one of our three heritage farms, Nethercott House in Devon, Lower Treginnis in Pembrokeshire, and Wick Court in Gloucestershire, children and young people experience increased learning and engagement, improved connections and wellbeing, and leave us with an enhanced sense of environmental citizenship.  Visiting children are immersed in the natural world of countryside through a food and farming offer that allows them to participate in the seasonal tasks of the day: sowing, growing and harvesting in our kitchen gardens; caring for livestock and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown feast in the farmhouse kitchen. In partnership with our commercial farming neighbours, children experience the benefits of collaboration, enjoy plenty of physical activity, good food, and fresh air, and discover the magical rural environment that is full of new words, sounds and experiences to inspire their creativity. Spending time working alongside real farmers fosters children’s independence and helps them to grow in confidence, develops their self-esteem, and encourages them to become more resilient.

About the Role

This role will be responsible for developing the vision and direction of the Communication and Marketing Strategy but will fundamentally be an operational management delivery role. Responsible for developing and rolling out a multi‐channel communication and marketing strategy that will:

• raise the profile of the charity by communicating news about projects, programmes, and partnerships on social channels, on online and print media outlets, TV networks,
• deliver communications to generate sales to secure a pipeline of farm residential visit bookings from beneficiary groups (being children from schools in disadvantaged communities, youth groups, young carers, children in care, etc) across England and Wales.
• secure income from fundraising by communicating the charity’s mission, vision, and values to donors, funders, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners.

The successful applicant will have considerable experience of developing and delivering a communication and marketing strategy as well as experience of designing and delivering multi-channel sales and marketing campaigns. Excellent people skills are key, as you will need to build strong relationships with a range of stakeholders.

Key areas of responsibility include:

• Raising the profile of the Charity by devising and implementing a beneficiary‐focused communications strategy that supports both the sales and fundraising function, including print, social, and online communications that target teachers and other adults who are key decision makers for our beneficiaries.
• Developing and embedding an integrated communications and marketing strategy to deliver the ambitions of the Business plan, to reach new markets and successfully translate connections into bookings (‘sales’) or generate income from funders to support fundraising.
• Leading on the management and development of all channels of communication for the Charity: social media, website, YouTube channel, print media.

This position is home based but you will be required to travel to our farms and Head Office based in Exeter as required in order to fulfil the role.

For full details about the role, please see the Job Description and Person Specification and Job Information Pack.

Appointments will be confirmed when the Charity has received two satisfactory professional references, and evidence of the existing proof of right to work in the UK. Referees will not be contacted without candidates’ prior consent.

Farms for City Children is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Successful candidates will be subject to a Social Media check and a DBS check at the appropriate level. Employment with the charity is conditional upon the charity being satisfied with the result of the DBS Check. Successful candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children.

The Degrees Initiative is a UK-based NGO that builds the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation management geoengineering (SRM), a controversial proposal for reducing some impacts of climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. Degrees is neutral on whether SRM should ever be used, but we believe that developing countries should be empowered to conduct their own research and to play a central role in SRM discussions. The initiative has been working in different forms for over a decade and our work receives worldwide coverage and widespread acclaim.   

We seek a Communications Manager to work closely with the Degrees team, the researchers we support in the Global South, and our stakeholders around the world to further raise our profile - initially focusing on the specialist SRM expert community but over time expanding to the broader climate science and policy arena. 

The right candidate will manage a multifaceted comms operation that will: 

• promote the work and achievements of Degrees, especially by raising our public profile in the media; 

• support and promote the Global South researchers whom we fund and their SRM research projects; 

• promote an understanding of why Global South experts must be at the centre of SRM discussions; 

• support the organisation’s engagement with diverse stakeholders across the globe; 

• manage the Communications and Programmes Officer. 

This role will not suit someone looking for structure and predictability but should be fun and interesting for a self-starter who enjoys shaping events in a rapidly evolving field.

Hours:

This is a full time position of 37.5 hours per week over Monday to Friday. 

From 1st July 2024 we are piloting a four day working week across the whole of the UK organisation. This pilot is planned to run for 12 months, at which point a decision will be made by our Board of Trustees as to whether this will become permanent. Success of the trial relies on the organisation being able to achieve the same or improved level of impact in four working days as five, with staff experiencing either the same or improved levels of wellbeing.

During the four day week pilot, working hours for this position will be reduced to 30 hours per week, to be worked across Monday to Thursday, with no reduction in salary. This will be a temporary change to the contractual terms for the successful candidate. The appointed person must be prepared to increase their working hours to 37.5 hours per week if a return to a five-day working week is decided.

You will have a supporter-centric approach to communications, responding to comments and messages from a place of care and empathy. This will be paired with an ability to work with data and analytics to assess results.

You understand what audiences want to see from different channels, and how to get cut through and attention on each one. 

You are a whizz with editing tools and can create compelling, dynamic content that hooks people in and keeps them watching.

While working with autonomy is an important part of your role, strong collaboration and communication skills are paramount to your success. And, you’ll be able to prioritise and manage multiple tasks efficiently in a fast-paced environment.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Ownership of our social media channels, posting content regularly that is tailored to each channel and ensuring each channel’s features are used to create the biggest impact for our supporters.
