About the role
Family Fund is recruiting a Marketing Communications Specialist to join our busy in-house Communications Team and bring our brand to life with sharp writing skills, a honed news sense and the ability to create high performing content across wide-ranging channels.
This is a vital role to grow our brand profile and reach with targeted audiences, crafting stand-out key messages and campaigns.
The work is varied – you could be publicising our grants and services for families, driving donations for our fundraising campaigns, raising awareness of our research, or influencing our policy and public affairs priorities.
You’ll work with wide-ranging internal clients across multiple projects, and you’ll be making a difference every day – getting even more essential grants and services to families raising disabled and seriously ill children on a low income.
About you
You will be a strong writer, able to tailor approaches to different audiences and work across the full channel mix. You will have either an in-house or agency background, and we’re looking particularly for a track record in creativity and the ability to confidently devise and deliver high-quality news stories, campaigns and wider content with real impact.
You will need to have experience across online and offline communications and marketing, from media, PR, and campaigns delivery to social media, e-marketing and website management.
