About the role
This is more than a communications role—it's an opportunity to shape how an organisation is seen, understood and remembered.
You'll take ownership of CLI's communications and marketing activity, leading our digital presence, campaigns, public relations and brand development. Working closely with our Data & Performance Manager and Senior Management Team, you'll have the freedom to bring fresh ideas, develop new approaches and ensure every communication reflects who we are and why our work matters.
From creating compelling social media campaigns and producing video content to managing our website, engaging local media and supporting recruitment, no two days will be the same.
We're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, thinks strategically, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves to make great ideas happen.
What you'll be doing
- Developing and delivering our communications and marketing strategy.
- Creating engaging content across social media, website, email and digital platforms.
- Producing graphics, photography and short-form video content.
- Building relationships with local media, partners and stakeholders.
- Planning campaigns that increase awareness, engagement and support.
- Managing and developing the CLI website.
- Protecting and strengthening our brand identity and tone of voice.
- Using data and insight to continually improve communications.
- Supporting events, recruitment campaigns and organisational growth.
- Exploring new technologies and AI tools to improve how we communicate.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About you
You'll be a confident communicator with excellent writing skills and a passion for creating meaningful content.
You may have experience in communications, marketing, PR, digital media or brand management, and you'll be comfortable working independently while collaborating with colleagues across the organisation.
You'll also bring:
- Experience delivering successful communications or marketing campaigns.
- Strong digital content creation skills, including Canva and social media.
- Experience creating or editing video content.
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Creativity, initiative and a solutions-focused mindset.
- The ability to turn ideas into engaging campaigns with measurable impact.
- A passion for using communications to make a positive difference.
Experience within the charity, community or social impact sector is welcomed but not essential.
