**JOB PURPOSE**

UK for UNHCR is looking for a Communications Officer to join its team, raising vital support for displaced people around the world through creative campaigns such as Two Truths And A Lie, as well as fundraising appeals and partnerships.

Reporting to the PR Manager, the Communications Officer will work across all the charity’s communications activity, with a particular focus on media relations and coordinating communications support for the charity’s fundraising appeals.

This involves identifying opportunities to amplify appeals, campaigns and partnerships through media and communications to support UK for UNHCR’s fundraising and public advocacy objectives. Raising awareness of global refugee crises and UNHCR’s humanitarian operations forms a central part of this storytelling, as well as thematic campaigns and PR moments throughout the year.

The Communications Officer will also work with the wider Communications team to identify and support storytellers (including refugees and supporters) to share their stories through the charity and with media. This includes collaborating closely with the Digital Communications Manager on social media and website content, and other members of the communications team.

**WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO**

United Kingdom for UNHCR is the United Nations Refugee Agency’s national charity partner for the United Kingdom. We generate public awareness of the plight of refugees and raise funds to help protect them through UNHCR’s humanitarian operations across the world.

Our supporters include UK private individuals, communities, corporate partners, trusts and foundations. The funds we raise help UNHCR deliver emergency relief such as shelter, medical care and basic supplies to people fleeing conflict and persecution, as well as healthcare, education and livelihoods opportunities for those who remain displaced over the long term.

Nobody chooses to be a refugee, but we can all play a part in their protection and we want those who work with us to share our values and passion for the cause.

**Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging**

UK for UNHCR is proud to have an Inclusion Network as well as a Diversity & Inclusion Working Group. Our Inclusion Network team work to create safe spaces that brings colleagues together for events, discussions and learning experiences that celebrate and support diversity and tackle barriers to inclusion. The Diversity & Inclusion Working Group is a group of colleagues focusing on tasks that drive action in the implementation of our D&I (Diversity & Inclusion) Approach.

We are also open to flexibility in many different ways, including an element of working from home and flexible hours. Please don’t be afraid to speak to us about this at the interview stage, so we can explore what’s possible.

**ROLE RESPONSIBLITIES**
- Working with the PR Manager on media relations, including identifying opportunities to deliver UK for UNHCR messages in media, drafting media materials, preparing spokespeople and storytellers for interview, media briefings
