About You

You'll have experience in media, public relations, communications or a similar field and be an excellent communicator who can quickly spot a story and turn it into engaging content for media audiences.

You'll be confident building relationships with journalists and responding to media enquiries, while remaining calm and professional when working to deadlines.

Like us, you'll be values-led and relationship-focused in everything you do.

How We'll Support You

Working closely with colleagues across fundraising, policy, communications and frontline services, you'll be warmly supported by people who share your passion for tackling homelessness and its root causes.
