Emmaus UK is looking for a new Regional Communications Officer to directly support Emmaus communities in the South of England.

About the role

Our team of Regional Communications Officers support Emmaus communities and groups to increase their profile and engage supporters. You will work closely with up to four Emmaus charities to identify their communications needs, plan and deliver work to help achieve their goals.

You will have excellent skills and knowledge in communications, public relations and marketing with at least two years’ experience working in a busy and varied communications role. Although not essential, knowledge and understanding of homelessness and the charity sector would also be an advantage.

Within this hybrid role, you can be based at home or in an Emmaus community. Wherever you are located, maintaining ongoing positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders is vitally important. This role will suit someone located in the South West or London as regular travel (usually at least one community visit per week) will be required to Bristol, Gloucester and London.

If you’re passionate about making a difference and seeing a long-lasting impact, then this is the perfect time for you to get involved and join Emmaus.

We see the person, their strengths, and the future they want to create. Building on each person’s abilities, Emmaus offers skills and work opportunities with a home and place to belong – we’re there at every step of their journey out of homelessness.
