Our Marketing and Communications Coordinator will be the creative spark that connects our vital services with the people who need them. By bringing together the voices of our volunteers and community groups, you will shine a light on the incredible impact of the VCFSE sector while driving our fundraising and volunteer recruitment.

Engagement
You will be the guardian of our brand, creating a vibrant and consistent visual identity that runs through everything we do—from designing bespoke logos and project templates to ensuring our online platforms look professional and cohesive. Beyond the visuals, you’ll play a hands-on role in community engagement, connecting with beneficiaries to gather vital impact data and feedback that helps us co-produce even better services. By crafting inclusive content and signage, you will actively work to reduce barriers for those accessing our support. You’ll also be a key relationship builder, fostering strong links with sector partners and funders while keeping everyone informed through the creation and distribution of engaging e-bulletins.

To ensure the financial sustainability and growth of our projects, this role places a strong emphasis on successful fundraising. You will be instrumental in transforming our community stories into compelling cases for support, driving income through creative digital campaigns, community appeals, and targeted events.
