Do you have relevant experience of working in a busy press office or a PR agency, plus a good track record of managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders? Then join Shelter as a Senior Media Officer and you could soon be playing a vital role at the heart of our Media team.

This is an exciting new role with the opportunity to make your mark on our social media platforms across The Salvation Army’s UK and Ireland Territory, at a time of digital growth.

Our Communications Officer plays a key role in our central Communications team, working collaboratively with colleagues to create impactful messages which are consistent, clear and well-planned. Through this work, you’ll support thousands of people across three key work programmes – Behaviour Change, Culture Shift and Information and Advice. You’ll have a particular focus in supporting the Senior Communications Manager with messaging across emails, our website and other digital channels, and play a key role in developing content with people who want to share their own experiences of alcohol and alcohol harm. You will have responsibility for wider tasks across the team, including monitoring inboxes, creating reports and supporting colleagues flexibly, particularly during busier campaign periods.

We are looking for a Communications Officer to support our team in Scotland to respond to Scottish media enquiries, delivering campaigns to influence health policy and support our fundraising and engagement comms activity.
