Job description

People’s Health Trust is a national charity working with local communities across Great Britain to address health inequalities through the building blocks of health. We want to stop people dying too young and make health equal.

Poor housing, low incomes, poor quality or no work cycles, lack of affordable food and lack of access to nature all contribute to poor health outcomes for the most vulnerable. This is avoidable.

Our work focuses on:

• Working with partners (corporate, community, trusts and foundations and families) to provide impactful, targeted support for communities experiencing the greatest marginalisation and health disadvantage in Great Britain.
• Using our evidence and learning to influence local and national decision makers.
• Working with our networks of over 600 funded partners to ensure the needs of those most marginalised are represented, heard and responded to.

This new role is crucial to the Trust’s future work. With a strong interest in social justice and a track record of delivering high-impact marketing and communications strategies, you will lead on media relations, digital content, campaigns, and brand management, ensuring the charity’s voice is clear, compelling, and aligned with its mission.

You will bring your expertise in brand development and delivering integrated communications plans to engage business, policy and funder audiences.

You will have a sound understanding of equity, diversity and inclusion and its effect on health and wellbeing.

We are committed to being a Disability Confident Employer. Our diversity data shows that we are currently under-represented by certain groups of people. We particularly encourage applications from people from racially minoritised communities, disabled people and people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

If this sounds like the role you are looking for and you feel you have the skills and experience we need, full details of the role and how to apply are here.

If you wish to have an informal discussion about the opportunity please contact Alex Williams at Giving Back Recruitment: [e-mail].

Please get in touch if you require any additional support with your job application. This particularly applies to people who need us to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010. This could include, but is not limited to, accepting applications in a different format, offering information or explanations in a way which helps you, or working with BSL interpreters.

The deadline for applications is Monday 15 December 2025 and interviews will be held in London on Tuesday 13 January 2026.
