Communications & Marketing Officer

- Closing 20th July 2026
This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and grow Mindroom's communications function at a pivotal point in the organisation's development. Following a transformational year, including major multi-year investment and the expansion of our national services, Mindroom needs compelling, strategic communications to match our growth, and you will be central to building that.
You will lead the day-to-day delivery of our external and internal communications, managing our social media presence, website and email communications, and developing content and resources for individuals, families, professionals and funders. You will also help establish stronger communication and brand guidelines, bringing greater consistency and impact to the way we tell our story.
Beyond the day-to-day, you will have real scope to shape how this function works: developing our approach to digital channels, strengthening our use of data to inform content, and building the systems and ways of working that will support Mindroom's communications as we scale. This is a role for someone who enjoys creating structure as much as creating content, and who wants to leave their mark on a growing organisation's voice.
You will work closely with colleagues across Mindroom, including our Business Development and Direct Support teams, to ensure communications reflect the breadth and impact of our work, and connect us with the communities, funders and partners we serve.
