DIGITAL MEDIA AND EVENTS COORDINATOR
Salary: £31,000 FTE.
Position: Permanent, full time (potential to negotiate to 4 days a week), open to flexible and hybrid working, with an expectation of regular travel to the national office in London and out to Practices across England as needed.
Location: Coram Campus, Brunswick Square, London, WC1N 1AZ.
Reporting to: External Affairs & Communications Lead.
Start date: ASAP.
THE ROLE
SHiFT is an innovative, ambitious, and impatient organisation – we’re in a period of rapid growth, achieving significant successes alongside children and families, and we want to shout loudly and distinctively about the work we’re doing and how it makes a difference.
We’re looking for a Digital Media & Events Coordinator to join the national team – a new role for us at an exciting time of growth. SHiFT is led and supported by imaginative social entrepreneurs and practitioners in the sector. We have a distinctive brand and ‘insider-outsider’ positioning – a charity at the frontline of public service delivery and transformation. This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone creative, detail-oriented, and ambitious to grow and make a difference as part of a practice-led systems change organisation.
SHiFT’s Digital Media & Events Coordinator will have a sharp eye for detail and branding, and the creative vision and technical skill to craft high-impact messages across various media, especially video and social media. You’ll come to SHiFT ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
The role is broad – from creative content generation to events and internal communications. You will be part of a small national team but can expect to work closely with SHiFT Practices across the country and collaborate with SHiFT’s External Affairs & Communications Lead, Phoebe Minson, who works closely with SHiFT’s Chief Executive on our external relationships and influencing activities.
EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY
SHiFT is committed to the eradication of discrimination and disadvantage on the basis of race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy and maternity, age, marital status, and socio-economic circumstances. We want to build a workplace that celebrates diversity and where everyone can feel valued, included, and involved.
As a charity working within youth justice, we are aware of the over-representation of children who identify as Black, Brown or Mixed Heritage within the youth justice system. Challenging racism is a key priority for SHiFT. We particularly encourage applications from people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, recognizing that this group is currently under-represented within our national team.
