Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity
Centrepoint is looking for a Senior Media and Celebrity Manager to join our team based in Aldgate, London.
About us
We help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently. Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support, and life skills in order to get them back into education, training, and employment. We aim to end youth homelessness by 2037.
Together with our partners, we support over 15,000 young people each year.
The role
As Senior Media and Celebrity Manager, you will provide strategic leadership across Centrepoint’s media positioning, reputation management, and celebrity and talent engagement. You will lead proactive and reactive media activity, securing high-quality coverage, amplifying campaigns, and showcasing Centrepoint’s vision.
You will also lead our talent engagement programme, building relationships with ambassadors, high-profile supporters, talent agencies, publicists, and industry contacts to maximize opportunities for Centrepoint. Working collaboratively across the organization, you will provide expert media and communications advice and play a key role in protecting and enhancing our reputation.
Office-based working
Colleagues are required to spend a minimum of 50% of their working week in our offices and must be able to commit to this requirement each week. For most full-time colleagues, this means attending the office for five days over a two-week period (e.g., two days one week and three days the next). For colleagues on different contracts (including part-time or compressed contracts), this will be adjusted accordingly. Our core working hours are 9:30am to 4:30pm, and colleagues must be in the office during these times.
