Role description
Good Things Foundation is the UK's leading digital inclusion charity, working to ensure everyone can benefit from digital. We believe everyone should have digital connectivity, access and skills so that they can participate fully in today’s society.
We're seeking a Communications Officer to join our dynamic Communications, Campaigns and Advocacy team on a 12-month fixed-term contract during a pivotal moment for our organisation.
This is an exciting time to join Good Things to make a real difference as you'll help launch and amplify our evolved strategy through compelling storytelling that showcases our impact and reaches new audiences. Working alongside a friendly, creative team, you'll craft content across multiple channels – from social media and email campaigns to press releases and web copy – that builds engagement and strengthens our mission to tackle digital exclusion.
We're looking for someone who brings exceptional organisational skills, creative flair, and proven experience in behaviour change campaigns and inspiring storytelling. In return, you'll develop your expertise in digital communications, campaigns, PR, policy and advocacy while contributing to work that genuinely changes lives.
We welcome applications from candidates whose professional and personal experience will bring new perspectives, understanding and capacity to the organisation; and who are ready to rise to the opportunities of this role.
