Role : Head of Communications
Hours : Full-time
Salary : Up to GBP £47,250 FTE gross annual (pro-rated based on a full-time equivalent salary, and dependent on experience)
Duration : Permanent
Location : UK-Med Office, Manchester, UK (hybrid working available)
UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the NHS, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.
We are seeking a skilled and passionate individual to lead the communications function of a fast-growing charity delivering frontline medical aid.
As the Head of Communications, you will play a key role in amplifying UK-Med’s voice, supporting our fundraising efforts through strategic communications, and ensuring our message reaches the world’s most vulnerable people.
UK-Med has an ambitious five-year strategy with a goal to generate £1 million per year from voluntary sources by 2026 to fund emergency responses and training for health staff. While fundraising remains under the purview of another department, your role will be crucial in crafting and delivering the communications that support these fundraising efforts. Our charity’s income is currently primarily statutory, and while we are relatively new to fundraising, our voluntary income has quadrupled year on year for the last three years. Earlier this year, the Board invested in the team to support the delivery of the 2021-2026 Fundraising and Communications strategy.
As Head of Communications, you will build on the promising foundations laid to deliver an exciting chapter in the charity’s development. This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, determined, and passionate individual to make a real difference in how we communicate our mission and impact to the world. Experience in the humanitarian or international development sector is desirable, but a keen interest in global affairs and a commitment to UK-Med’s humanitarian mandate are essential.
We offer a competitive salary and benefits along with a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through humanitarian work.
To apply, please submit a current CV and a supporting letter (2 pages) . Your covering letter must include a detailed explanation of your suitability for this post with specific reference to the criteria in the person specification.
Applications must be submitted no later than 30th September 2024.
Applications for work in the UK can only be accepted from people with an existing right to work in the UK.
UK-Med is committed to safeguarding of our personnel and beneficiaries and has a zero tolerance approach to sexual exploitation and abuse. We conduct thorough vetting before any appointment is confirmed.
UK-Med is committed to the principles of diversity, equality, and inclusion. We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive environment where employees feel respected and supported to be able to fulfil their potential.
