Imagine crafting press releases, articles, and speeches that captivate audiences, driving awareness and support for our noble cause. With your flair for media relations and negotiation skills, you'll secure significant coverage, ensuring the South echoes with the stories of the Royal British Legion.

Collaboration is key, and as part of our close-knit team, you'll work alongside passionate colleagues, contributing to the strategic vision set by the Regional Public Relations Manager. From managing impactful media campaigns to providing logistical support for events, your influence will be felt throughout the region.

What sets you apart? Your proven track record in media relations, public relations, or journalism, coupled with your adeptness in navigating MS Office and in-house databases.
