SalaryAbout the Role
We are looking for a talented communicator with a flair for ensuring that Action for Stammering Children’s key messages, policy and fundraising campaigns reach the right people and make a real difference to the community we serve. In this role, you’ll be responsible for all aspects of communications and online promotion for our growing and ambitious charity. Adapting the charity’s message for a range of internal and external audiences will be second nature to you, and you’ll be adept at using a range of communication channels to get the word out, including organic and paid-for social media, segmented emails, video, press releases, or via in-person or online events.
On a typical day, you might be working with a member of our youth panel to prepare them for a media appearance, preparing the groundwork for the launch of a new policy report with internal and external stakeholders, or working with fundraising colleagues to get the word out about our latest fundraising appeal.
But regardless of the channel or the message, your attention to detail, writing and presentation skills will be flawless, and you’ll bring a creativity and flair that helps to bring the charity’s campaigns and ideas to life. It’s an exciting time at Action for Stammering, with a new strategy which will see us increase the charity’s reach, impact and engagement with the stammering community more than ever before. This role will be vital to enabling us to deliver that.
