WHO WE ARE
We're FIRST UK - a Tech Education Charity using robots, role models and epic competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive – empowering young people with the technical knowledge and soft skills to thrive.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
A brilliant communicator. Someone creative and consistent. You are motivated by our mission make STEM more inclusive and want to shout about it from the rooftops. You will be equally comfortable crafting narratives that resonate with our audience, social media posts, editing an interview into a blog, or making a fundraising deck look stunning. Through your ability to communicate effectively you will:
- Produce compelling content – email marketing, case studies, interviews, blogs
- Create engagement opportunities - coordinating webinars, social reels,, events
- Optimise our digital platforms - ensuring they remain vibrant, fresh and relevant
- Develop great assets – supporting comms, events, fundraising and more
- Increase our share voice – amplifying our presence across owned and earned platforms
Your copywriting skills, attention to detail, understanding of tone of voice and general all round epicness will help us communicate why we are More Than Robots.
WHAT YOU'LL GET
Responsibility. Ownership. Sense of purpose. Reporting to the Head of Impact and Engagement, you’ll be working in a small (7 headcount), dynamic organisation which is agile and collaborative. We have a strong value proposition and refreshing brand. Our case for support is built on three decades of evidence. Well before pandemics, we were working flexibly and remotely – it’s embedded in our culture.
WHAT YOU'll BE DOING
Building more than robots. We wanted to keep this ad brief so for more detail check out our job page on workable - by following the link below.
WHO IS THIS ROLE FOR?
An excellent communicator with a flair for copywriting. Someone who can pick up our tone of voice and run with it. You’ve worked before in a comms and marketing function (not necessarily third sector), know what good looks like and are looking for more responsibilty, growth and opportunity. You take ownership and can work autonomously to a really high standard. You do what you say you will and do it well.
I'm loving the sound of this is there more I need to know?

Where will I be working?
We are currently a fully remote, home-based team and come together in workspaces as required (typically once a month). This will become more frequent as the charity moves to a more solidified hybrid working model. You should therefore be as comfortable working from an office as you are at home, and expect to travel to our coworking locations or any new fixed base which will be in London, home counties or a c1 hour commute from a mianline London station.
You will play a key role in delivering events across the year – robotics tournaments, employee engagement experientials, conferences and wider awareness-raising activities which will involve travel and overnight stays on occasion.
Important stuff
