Campaign Officer

Campaign Officer £29,000 per year Full-time, 35 hours per week Fixed-term until the end of January 2027 Based in London / home and flexible working Our client empowers people with the skills they need to succeed in life. Together they\’re helping people change their stories. You could join them as Campaign Officer. What you’ll be doing Current research shows that only a third of UK children read for pleasure and that patterns of adult reading are dwindling. Our client is leading a campaign to engage new audiences and create a new generation of readers. Working as part of a new in-house team for this campaign, you will use a range of communications and marketing channels to spread key messages among communities and affect behaviours among target demographics. You will build relationships with local and national partners including the media, and manage campaign activities and events. You will also support activity across your team, including preparing copy for newsletters, websites and social media in support of campaign priorities. You will be contracted to our client’s office in London but this role is suitable for home and flexible working, with the majority of your work carried out from home if you would prefer. However, you will need to be available to travel to London for staff and team days, as well as to support project delivery and partnerships. This could be around a day a week on average, although at times it will be a lot less, and unfortunately, our client is unable to cover travel costs for this. What our client is looking for You will have recent experience of working in a communications role with campaigning responsibilities and managing digital and social media accounts. You should also have experience of working with case studies and beneficiaries to share their story and secure media coverage of their experiences. Experience of working in the charity, education, wellbeing and/or cultural sectors would be an advantage. Most importantly, you will be proactive, results-driven and passionate about reaching young people and families with positive and engaging campaigns, to maximise the impact of this campaign and change the reading culture in the UK for good. Why our client’s work is so vital Reading and writing change everything. They give you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. They’re the key to knowledge, confidence and inspiration. They’re better results at school, and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books to read or opportunities to write, it’s harder to get where you want to go. Our client helps people overcome these challenges and change their life chances through the power of words – reading, writing, speaking and listening. From first words, through school days to training, jobs and beyond. – They work collaboratively in local communities, focusing their work in areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges. – They support schools, developing the most effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children. – They campaign to make reading and writing a priority for politicians and decision-makers. – They support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their skills.
