PLEASE NOTE THAT ACTIONAID UK WILL REVIEW, SHORTLIST AND INTERVIEW CANDIDATES PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE SO WE ENCOURAGE ALL CANDIDATES TO APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty.

As part of the ActionAid Federation, we work with women and girls, our partners, and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.

Please note
:
We are based in London and have offices in Farringdon and Somerset.
We are currently piloting a hybrid working model and you can agree the days you work at home with your manager, however, you are expected to attend team meetings and other events in-person, and as requested.
Also bear in mind the rules around hybrid working may change in the new year when the pilot ends.

The Media Specialist role is key to helping us increase the profile of our vital work, influence for change and bring in new supporters.

It combines opportunities to develop media strategies, to tell amazing stories about the women and girls we work with and also to engage the public through PR and social media.

This role will provide a key point of contact for the media, and you will be handling enquiries and liaising with journalists to make ActionAid UK the 'go to' voice on the rights of women and girls.

You will write media releases, op-eds, blogs and social posts, and have an excellent understanding of what makes a great story.

We are looking for someone with strong knowledge and demonstrable engagement in women's rights issues, current affairs and international development.

Strong relationship-building and communication skills are also essential, as well as the ability to manage deadlines and rapidly changing priorities.

*We are happy to consider part-time working of up to 28 hours for this vacancy.

ActionAid is committed to supporting flexible working.

If you would like to discuss flexible working options, including the possibility of a job share for this role, there will be space to do so during the interview process.
