About the role

The main purpose of this role is to lead on the delivery of a broad and engaging PR and communications strategy for the BSA, and several of its programmes, to raise the profile of the organisation’s work and its spokespeople.

They will create engaging content for our digital channels, as well as work on national PR campaigns, develop social media strategies and produce thought-provoking case studies.​

They will work on key aspects of the British Science Week PR and events campaign and will lead the British Science Festival’s media relations work. They will also oversee the communications plans for our Policy, Partnerships and Impact programmes, including For Thought, Sciencewise, and Future Forum.

They will line manage our Communications Officer and provide support and advice to the wider communications team, especially on PR and media relations activity.

Key responsibilities

The main responsibilities of this role are to:

  • Deliver the BSA’s corporate communications strategy, by developing integrated, multi-channel communications plans and activities;
  • Manage a programme of profile-raising PR and media relations for the BSA and its spokespeople;
  • Develop the PR and communications plan for British Science Week, including leading on the stakeholder launch event;
  • Lead on the PR and media relations plan for the British Science Festival, by liaising with the researchers and academics involved;
  • Deliver the communications plans for our Policy, Partnership and Impact programmes, including our annual thought leadership summit, For Thought, the BSA’s work on Sciencewise, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Diversity and Inclusion in Science, and Future Forum;
  • Oversee the use of our corporate brand, our corporate tone of voice and lead on the content creation of our owned social and digital corporate channels;
  • Play an active role in evaluating the success of our communications campaigns;
  • Line manage the Communications Officer, offering support and guidance as necessary, and ensuring their Learning and Development needs are met;
  • Collaborate with colleagues across the organisation on content & ideas for the various programmes we run.

About you

The PR and Communications Manager role will suit someone who has a passion for showcasing the impact of an organisation with stakeholder audiences.

We are looking for someone who is proactive and creative, with an eye for detail. You should be a compelling storyteller, with experience in developing engaging content in various media.

Ideally, you will have a background in media relations or PR, but if not, a sound understanding of the UK media landscape is essential.

You do not need a background in science to apply for this role – we are looking for someone who wants to communicate messages and deliver excellent content.

You will have the opportunity to work with a range of stakeholders in this role, including some of the BSA’s beneficiaries, our partners and sponsors, the press and media, as well as contractors. You need to feel comfortable meeting and talking to new people.

You will occasionally work at events, so a professional manner is a must, and a willingness to travel to other parts of the UK from time to time.

The closing date for applications is 23.59 on Sunday 15 September 2024. 

Interviews are due to take place w/c 30 September 2024.

You will be informed as soon as possible after the application deadline whether you have been selected for interview.

As part of the British Science Association’s commitment to being a Disability Confident employer, all disabled* applicants who meet the ‘essential criteria’ for this vacancy will be offered an interview under our guaranteed interview scheme.

If you wish to apply under the guaranteed interview scheme, you will be asked to indicate this when you submit your application by selecting ‘yes’ in the relevant box when asked during the application process. Applicants do not need to state any further information or declare their disability at the application stage.

While we try to ensure that everyone finishes work on time, and can vary their working hours in line with our agile working policy, from time to time the job entails working extended hours and occasional weekends, for which no overtime payments are made. The BSA operates a time off in lieu policy for weekend working and some other out-of-hours instances.

Only applicants who have a legal right to work within the UK will be considered. You will be asked to bring along proof of nationality and/or proof of ability to work in the UK.

You will also be asked to declare any previous convictions in line with your rights under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) order 1975.

It is the practice of the Association to examine job descriptions from time to time and to update them to ensure they relate to the job as then being performed, or to incorporate whatever changes are reasonably required, in discussion with the postholder.

*The Disability Confident scheme’s definition of disability is in line with the Equalities Act 2010: “a physical or mental condition which has a long-term and substantial effect on your daily life”.

Our commitment to EDI

For the BSA's vision to come to fruition, we need to help science become part of culture, including those who are currently least engaged. We need to be able to engage with people in groups that are poorly represented in science, and that’s why equality, diversity & inclusion (EDI) needs to be central to our activities.

The BSA has established three objectives for our work with EDI:

  • Develop our staff and internal systems to ensure the BSA reflects the society we want to see, and develops inclusive culture and policies;
  • Change our programmes to increase their relevance to audiences who are traditionally under-represented in science engagement activities, and empower people to run science engagement activities for their networks and communities;
  • Influence other organisations and individuals in the science engagement to sector to develop and improve their EDI practices in capability and audience development to reach new audiences.

We recognise that in many settings, at the BSA and beyond, EDI can be seen as an add-on or ‘fix’ to the regular work. Our aim is for EDI to be the heart of everything we do.

No agencies please.
