About Liberty
Liberty and its supporters have been a force for fairness, dignity and respect in our society for more than 90 years. We are now at a critical point. Shared assumptions on freedom, equality and democracy are being overturned, and with this the threat to our basic rights grows.
Role Overview
Now, at this crucial moment in British political history, we’re seeking two experienced Media and Communications Officers to elevate our media and digital outputs as we deliver on an exciting new three‑year organisational strategy to tell a story of hope, protect our rights and freedoms, and build a safe and just future for everyone in the UK.
What We Do
The Communications Team tells people who Liberty is, what we do and how they can get involved – helping to shape the narrative of the media debate and influence decision makers. This role requires proven experience of designing and executing high‑quality, high‑impact media and digital communications plans that reach, engage and persuade target audiences.
Responsibilities
- Support the running of our press office by being the first point of contact for journalists, drafting responses to media requests, and supporting our spokespeople with interview briefings.
- Build Liberty’s profile in the media by forging relationships with key contacts across broadcast, print and new forms of digital media.
- Deliver engaging outputs across social media and our website, adapting core messages across different platforms.
- Help bring technical legal and policy arguments to life through creative storytelling that resonates with the public.
Key Issues
Telling an inclusive story about the importance of our rights and freedoms to everyday lives is central to who we are. From facial recognition technology to protest rights, you will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of high‑profile issues.
Working Arrangements
Liberty supports hybrid working, with a minimum office attendance of two days per week in the Westminster office.
Diversity and Inclusion
We aim to encourage people from all backgrounds to work with us and are particularly interested in hearing from people from minority backgrounds and all socio‑economic sections of society.
