We are looking for a creative and effective communicator to be Women in Prison’s Communications Officer. As part of the Campaigns & Public Affairs Team you’ll be playing a key part in raising the charity’s public profile and securing the fundamental changes needed to end the harm of prison to women, their families and communities.
The role will plan and deliver communications strategies across digital channels and media that bring WIP’s work to life, inspiring and motivating members of the public, policymakers and politicians to support our campaigns and aims.
The post-holder will work closely with frontline staff and women affected by the criminal justice system to ensure their voices and experiences are at the heart of our communications, creating compelling news stories and social media content to engage audiences with our campaigns.
We’re also looking for a quick learner. We don’t expect you to know or have done everything when you start – instead, with support from your manager, we’ll be looking for you to pick up new skills and knowledge quickly, then run with them.
You might have experience in either digital communications or campaigns, media, or fundraising – we want to hear from you!
We actively encourage applications from women from a variety of backgrounds, and with a range of skills and experiences. We are particularly interested to hear from Black, Asian and minoritised women and women who have personal experience of the criminal justice system. The role is only open to women, in accordance with the sex-based exemptions of the Equality Act 2010 pursuant to Schedule 9, Part 1.
