Choose the right communications role
Communications officer and executive roles can cover writing, social channels, media enquiries and stakeholder updates. Manager and head-of roles may add responsibility for strategy, people, budgets and reputation. Job titles vary, so compare the person specification and the actual scope.
Communications, marketing and campaigning
Some charities combine these functions. Check whether the post focuses on supporter acquisition, service information, public affairs, fundraising campaigns or organisational communications. A content role may need writing samples; a press role may require evidence of media judgement and managing enquiries.
