At the Charity for Civil Servants, we can’t always prevent the tricky, stressful, sad stuff from happening. But when it does
happen, we help current, former and retired civil servants get the best support. Join us as we embark on the next phase of our
strategy to ensure we can be there when people need us the most.
It's an exciting time to join our organisation – we are growing and our ambition is to grow faster over the coming 5 years. This
role will work as part of a Charity that is working to embed itself back into the heart of the UK Civil Service. You will work
with interesting and skilled people both in the Charity and in the UK Civil Service.
We need an ambitious Communications Manager to help us get there! This is a key role in supporting the delivery of the Charity
for Civil Servants' overall communications strategy and annual communications plans. In this role, you will help us to increase
awareness, grow participation and drive long-term loyalty within our community, so we can continue to be there when people need
us.
The Communications Manager will be working with colleagues across the organisation, while also managing communications contacts
across our priority areas and employers within our community. This role will be servicing multiple stakeholders and diverse
strands of work simultaneously, whilst delivering on target and on time.
This is a pivotal project management role, working closely with the Head of Communications and three Communications Coordinator
colleagues. You will be demonstrating your experience as a sound all-around digital marcoms expert. You are savvy in campaign
delivery skills, working with various communication channels, with a track record of delivering outcomes with and via your team.
We are looking for a successful communications professional, preferably with significant experience in the charity/ not-for-profit
sector who has managed communications functions and campaign delivery with breadth, context and scale.
To be successful in this role, you'll ideally have at least 5 years’ experience working in a similar communications role, with at
least three of those managing and developing multiple marcoms campaign delivery. You’ll be experienced in delivering and
coordinating income generation campaigns, CRM data management, website and digital development, as well as monitoring and
reporting on digital performance.
In return, we can offer you excellent benefits including a health cash plan, Headspace, life assurance, excellent pension,
generous annual leave, birthday leave, and interest free loans for season tickets and our cycle to work scheme.

after. Please let us know in your covering letter if either of these dates would be difficult for you or if you need any
adjustments to enable you to perform to your best at interview. No agencies, please.

service community that we support. We seek to ensure all job applications are treated fairly, with respect and without bias and we
