<p>Our client has big goals over the next few years.</p>
<p>They’re going to be fighting for mental health in a way they never have before.</p>
<p>Together they’ll be working to make sure everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets the support and respect they deserve.</p>
<p>Will you join them?</p>
<p>This is an opportunity to work within a busy, high performing public relations team at the country’s leading mental health charity. They’re looking for a passionate, brilliant PR manager who wants to lead a dynamic team to generate amazing media coverage and improve the way they engage with their supporters and media volunteers (case studies).</p>
<p>The purpose of this job is to provide excellent PR support for their fundraising team including corporate partners, community events and our network of charity shops across the country. You will apply your expertise and experience to shape bespoke media plans and will work closely with key account managers in their fundraising team, alongside a range of internal and external stakeholders.</p>
<p>You’ll lead on stand-alone PR stories and integrated campaigns, ensuring ideas are strategically-led and that they are getting their message out as widely as possible. One week you could be working to promote Mental Health Awareness Week, the next with a corporate partner to raise the profile of a service they have funded.</p>
<p>You will also be responsible for improving the way they work with their supporters to tell their story of mental health in the media. You will lead their work to improve the way they work with media volunteers, strengthening our stewardship of their journey with us while diversifying the range of voices they use.</p>

The role is a hybrid of office and home working, requiring a minimum of two days a week at our London office. The job will involve some out-of-hours work, including providing an effective on-call service for the media.</p>
<p><strong>Closing date</strong><strong>:</strong><b>  25^th March 2022</b></p>

<p>Our client is committed to equality of opportunity for all staff, and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.</p>
