London Area, United Kingdom The Talent Set Full time

The Talent Set are delighted to partner with Centrepoint on a fantastic Head of Communications and Campaigns role.

Centrepoint is driven by a bold and urgent mission: to end youth homelessness by 2037.

Role Overview:

The Head of Communications and Campaigns is central to making this vision a reality. Leading a dynamic team that builds public awareness, galvanises support, and helps drive systemic change.

In this key leadership role, you'll shape and deliver strategic communications and impactful campaigns that elevate Centrepoint's voice as a thought leader, share insights from programmes like Upstream Prevention and Independent Living, and help grow a powerful movement committed to ending youth homelessness.

You will be responsible for creating campaigns that raise both brand and cause awareness, engage individuals and partners, and influence public attitudes and policy. This includes high profile public campaigns designed to shift perceptions and build empathy, alongside collaborative political campaigning that complements the Public Affairs strategy led by a separate directorate. Proven experience in leading non-partisan campaigns that achieve measurable shifts in public opinion is essential.

Additionally, you'll provide strategic communications support across the organisation, including fundraising, ensuring all messaging is aligned and impactful. With supporters playing a crucial role in our mission, your work will help prioritise and optimise communications to maximise reach, engagement, and influence.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development and delivery of a cross-channel communications strategy aligned to our mission and values.
  • Oversee media relations, public campaigns, digital storytelling, and brand – ensuring consistent, impactful messaging.
  • Line manage and develop a skilled team, fostering a collaborative and inclusive culture.
  • Act as a strategic advisor on narrative, positioning, and crisis communications to senior leadership.
  • Champion the ethical use of lived experience in our communications, always with dignity, consent, and authenticity.
  • Build and maintain relationships with journalists, partners, influencers, and allies to amplify our reach and voice.

About You:

  • A senior communications leader with a strong track record in charity, media, public affairs or campaigning - ideally within the social justice space
  • Excellent strategic thinking, storytelling, and audience engagement skills – with the ability to turn complex issues into powerful, people-led narratives.
  • Skilled in leading high-performing teams and managing communications across digital, press, and campaigns.
  • Confident working with senior stakeholders, managing reputational risk, and responding to media attention.
