This is a 6 month fixed term contract opportunity.
Who are we?
Shaw Trust is a progressive charity on an exciting journey to help five times more people over the next five years. For over 30 years we have supported disabled and disadvantaged people to make positive changes to their lives through training and employment, and our ambitious plans need the right people to help us transform many more lives, in many more ways.
What we do is exciting, fulfilling and diverse and it’s about to get even better. As well as employment services, we work with kids in schools, help offenders in prisons, and empower people to take part in activities that many of us would take for granted.
Working with us gives you far more benefits than a standard package; it gives you the chance to help turn someone’s life around.
What do we need?
We’re looking for a creative person who can support our communications manager to deliver a range of communications plans that will keep Shaw Trust’s stakeholders – including our staff, supply chain partners and external audiences – connected and informed. Fostering a conversational approach across all channels, the main tasks will include:
- helping to plan, deliver and monitor a high-quality suite of timely communications to the charity’s large and complex network of supply chain partners, including commissioning, chasing and editing copy as well as producing engaging content yourself
-
- supporting the communications manager to deliver communications plans for various areas of the charity by generating written and video content and finding creative ways to engage audiences
-
- supporting Shaw Trust’s media work, including working with external agencies both proactively and reactively
-
- supporting the wider Shaw Trust Group, which welcomed two new organisations into the fold in 2017, to integrate and collaborate, and
-
- identifying opportunities to improve the charity’s communications channels, tools and processes.
