Campaigns Officer

£29,500 per year. Full‑time, 35 hours per week. Permanent contract. Based in London SW8, with home and flexible working.

What you’ll be doing

We are recruiting a marketing and communications professional to deliver local behaviour‑change campaigns in target areas across the UK to improve vital literacy skills. You will work as part of our campaigns team, using a range of channels to spread key messages to children and families and to promote services that support them. You will also work closely with our communities team and Hub Managers in local areas, building relationships with local partners including the media. You will manage local marketing channels, campaign activities and events, support the marketing and communications team, and prepare copy for our newsletters, websites and social media. This role is based at our office in London, but is suitable for home and flexible working. You will need to be available to travel to London for staff and team days, and to support project delivery and partnerships – the majority of your work will be from home, with an average of about a day a week of travel. Travel costs are not covered.

What we’re looking for

• Marketing/communications experience, including planning, implementing and evaluating campaigns to change behaviours.
• Ability to adapt key messages for diverse audiences, including press and social media, and experience creating effective content for both physical and digital delivery.
• Strong teamwork skills and the ability to represent your expertise across multi‑disciplinary projects.

Applicants will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check in line with our safeguarding policy and safer recruitment procedures.

Why our work is so vital

Literacy changes everything. It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, to shape your future, to achieve better results at school and better jobs. If children grow up without the tools to communicate, without books, or opportunities to write, it’s harder to reach where they want to go. We work collaboratively in local communities, focusing our work in 20 areas of the UK that are facing the biggest challenges. We support schools, developing effective tools and techniques and providing resources and programmes to engage and inspire children. We campaign to make literacy a priority for politicians and decision‑makers. We support vulnerable adults, people in the criminal justice system and young offenders’ institutions to build their literacy skills.

What we offer you

Our team is passionate about our mission and has a strong, positive working culture based on shared values and respect. We offer a range of flexible working options and a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success. We provide a competitive salary and a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8 % of annual salary, a cycle‑to‑work scheme, employee assistance programme, and other health and wellbeing benefits.

Application details

We value and respect diversity in all its forms. We particularly welcome applications from Black and Asian backgrounds, candidates with disabilities, and members of the communities we serve. We would like to increase representation of these groups among our staff to enhance our impact. Please note that we do not accept CVs and do not accept agencies or recruitment sites.

Closing date: 10am, Friday 29 May 2026.
