Turn2us is a national charity tackling poverty and the structural causes of financial insecurity. We work with co-producers and partners to provide people in financial crisis with the means and agency to get back on their feet, build resilience, move forward with their lives and thrive.

At Turn2us, everything we do is built for - and shaped by - people who have lived experience of financial insecurity. That includes our strategy, our digital tools, our approach to grant-making, our policy work and much more. We also believe that voices of lived experience should be at the heart of our communications and fundraising work, showing people the impact of financial insecurity, and why they should support our work to end it.

Our new Senior Storytelling Officer will grow the storytelling capacity in our team, building strong relationships with our storytellers and ensuring they’re supported before, during and after they tell their story to support our work.

In this role, you’ll build on existing work to establish a pipeline of strong storytellers, build trust and credibility in storytelling across the organisation, and develop storytelling best practice. Underpinning all of this will be your sensitive, diplomatic, and intersectional approach to storytelling.

This role requires a professional who can balance the sensitive nature of our work with the strategic needs of the organisation. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in ethical storytelling and the ability to lead and innovate in this crucial area of our work

We are actively welcoming people with experience of financial insecurity to apply for this role. We know that, for some people, this experience may have affected the opportunities available to them, and that as a result their career path may be untraditional. If that’s you, and you can demonstrate clear ability, experience and a deep personal commitment to our vision, we’d love to hear from you.

As an equal opportunities employer, we are committed to equity, inclusion and diversity and the value people from different backgrounds bring to a team. If, like us, you believe everyone has the right to have enough to live on, and you are ambitious about eradicating poverty, join us and build your career with a charity dedicated to ensuring dignity and equity for all.

We offer flexible working patterns, both in terms of hours and remote working. Please note that all employees are required to work from the office a minimum of 4 days a month on a weekly basis.

Some roles may be required to be in the office more often than others and this will be agreed with the hiring manager upon starting at Turn2us.

Please note that all job offers are subject to 2 – 3 satisfactory references and a disclosure satisfactory to Turn2us from the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS).
