About the role
Emmaus UK is looking for a Regional Communications Officer to join its communications team. Our Regional Communications Officers support Emmaus communities and groups to raise their profile and connect with supporters. In this role, you will work closely with up to four Emmaus charities, identifying their communications needs and planning and delivering activity to help them achieve their goals.
This is a hybrid role, offering the flexibility to work from home or from within an Emmaus community. Building and maintaining strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders will be key to this role. Regular travel to your allocated communities is essential, typically at least once a week. This will initially be Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney, Emmaus Colchester and Emmaus Suffolk, so we are looking for a candidate based in Norwich, Colchester, Ipswich or the surrounding areas. You will also attend quarterly team meetings, usually held in Birmingham, although these may occasionally take place elsewhere in the UK and may require an overnight stay.
This is a full‑time role, Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours a week.
CLOSING DATE: Ongoing • LOCATION: Hybrid (based at home or local Emmaus community) with regular travel in the South of England • SALARY: £31,160 • TYPE: Full Time • WORK LOCATION: On Site
About Emmaus
Emmaus is a unique, secular organisation supporting people affected by homelessness and social exclusion. There are currently 29 Emmaus communities across the UK, stretching from Glasgow to Dover and Norfolk to South Wales. Collectively, the Emmaus Federation supports more than 1,000 people with experience of homelessness.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for someone with a strong communications skillset and at least two years’ experience in a busy communications, public relations or marketing role. While not essential, knowledge of homelessness and the charity sector would be an advantage.
Creativity and passion are essential. You will have a broad range of communications skills, enjoy seeing your ideas come to life and be keen to continue developing your experience within a national homelessness charity.
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys working with different people and communities. The successful candidate will be organised, adaptable and able to manage multiple projects, relationships and campaigns.
If you are passionate about making a difference and creating long-lasting impact, this is the perfect time to join Emmaus UK.
