Harris Hill is supporting Wellbeing of Women to find their Director of Education & External Affairs (Director of Communications). This is an opportunity to put your communications expertise at the heart of a charity that is changing the future of women’s health.
We’re looking for a strategic, creative and hands-on communications leader to join Wellbeing of Women’s Senior Management Team and lead its Education and External Affairs teams.
You’ll shape and deliver an ambitious multi-channel communications, campaigns, marketing and external affairs strategy — raising the charity’s profile, influencing public debate and engaging the audiences and stakeholders who matter most. From high-profile campaigns and media relations to brand, marketing and internal communications, you’ll be equally comfortable setting the direction and getting stuck into the delivery.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
