2 weeks ago

Truro, United Kingdom St Petrocs Full time

**Description**:
**As the Engagement Officer, you will play a pivotal role in developing and nurturing strong relationships with new, existing, or future supporters. You'll do this by raising awareness through compelling resources and engaging content that tell our story, and by collaborating with others on initiatives that positively impact people experiencing homelessness.**

Our ambition is to end homelessness in Cornwall, and key to our success will be our ability to continue connecting with people and inspiring them to take action - whether through giving financially, volunteering, fundraising for us, or taking part in other events and activities. By building meaningful relationships with others and engaging them in our work, you will ensure St Petrocs can continue to grow and develop its services in response to the increasing number of people being pushed into homelessness.

**_Please note: This is a fixed term contract for 12 months._**

**_Interviews are expected to take place on Thursday 4th January, with a preferred start date of 5th February 2024. _**

Many of our staff work flexibly, including part-time. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you need. We can’t promise to give you exactly what you want, but we do promise not to judge you for asking.

**What you'll be doing.**:

- Collaborate with the wider organisation to proactively collect and develop engaging content for social media, press releases, newsletters, and other communication channels to promote the organisation's work, events and activities.
- Help keep the charity’s website up-to-date with relevant content, news, and resources. Ensure the website is user-friendly and regularly update information about events, services, and stories.
- Work with the wider team to create visually appealing and consistent graphics for both digital and print materials, including brochures, flyers, posters, and video.
- Work with the wider team to develop fundraising appeal messages and materials.
- Prepare and distribute press releases, and support and coordinate media enquiries.
- Assist with the photography of events, clients (when permissible), staff, and other activities.
- Establish and nurture relationships with supporters to ensure a positive and effective engagement.
- Produce engaging written acknowledgments for supporters.
- Maintain accurate records of partnerships, donations, and engagement activities using CRM software.
- Support the engagement and building of relationships with the St Petrocs Business Club.
- Contribute new ideas and continually seek to improve processes to drive efficiency and improve supporter experience.
- Attend events as a positive ambassador for St Petrocs, promoting and raising awareness of its services and inspiring existing and potential supporters, working evenings and weekends as required.
- Carry out any other duties as reasonably requested.

**Who we're looking for.**:
**You’ll share our core values: Honesty, Integrity, Equality & Dignity**You should be someone who thinks creatively, is proactive, motivated and enjoys working across multiple teams. You’ll need to be a strong communicator - both verbally and written - and able to accurately express your ideas in these mediums.

Importantly, we’re looking for someone who passionately believes in our mission of ending homelessness. Homelessness is not an inevitability. It can be solved, and it can be prevented.
