About you 

We’re looking for an experienced communications expert who has planned, managed, and evaluated strategic engagement for either internal or external audiences; someone who is people-focused with great interpersonal skills. Someone who can build and maintain strong working relationships with colleagues in all parts of the organisation. 

You’ll be committed to strengthening the voice of our staff and to influence the way we share information and knowledge, including our strategic priorities.

About us:

Safer London is a charity working with young Londoners and families who are affected by violence and exploitation.

By working alongside young Londoners, their families, and peers in the places where they spend their time, we can create a safer London not just for them but for everyone.

About the role:

In this impactful role, you will cultivate strong trusting relationships with young Londoners, offering personalised support on a one-to-one basis.

- Flexible Working: our Flexible Working Policy allows requests to work flexibly from the start of your employment.
