The Campaigns and Communications Lead will play a key role in the Hope and Healing project, leading the Campaign for Hope strand of activity and contributing to other areas of the project. You’ll bring knowledge and experience of a range of campaigning and approaches that can create change at different levels of the system, from communities to policy levels, and support the Hope and Healing partnership to use learning and relationships from the project to campaign for and create change.
You’ll be committed to the values of Hope and Healing, including sharing power and listening to different voices, and you’ll be as comfortable sitting in community spaces, working alongside local people, as you are talking to system influencers.
Note: This job is being advertised as a permanent role. The contract will be until 31st March 2029 (Years 2-4 of the Hope and Healing project). There is potential for the contract to be extended further into all or part of Year 5 of the project.
We work with people experiencing challenges with their mental health, and with communities who want to create a greater sense of wellbeing in the places that they live. Through our projects, we work with thousands of people each year.
We believe that long-lasting wellbeing comes about by understanding how lives can be shaped by traumatic experiences, identifying people’s strengths and focussing on healing. We know we can’t ‘fix’ people, but we can walk alongside people and help where we can on their journey.
We try hard to make Platfform a great place to work, we live our values and mission in everything that we do.
