Our client is a national organisation and has been the leading expert in rural community business for over 100 years. Community businesses are enterprises that are owned and run democratically by members of the community and others, on behalf of the community.

They currently work with over 600 community businesses and this number is continually growing. These come in many forms - including shops, pubs, woodlands and anything which lends itself to community ownership. In addition to developing and safeguarding valuable assets and services, community businesses address a range of issues including isolation, loneliness, wellbeing, work and training.

The charity is pleased to announce the vacancy of Communications Manager. This is a full-time role and is responsible for leading the delivery of their communications strategy, public relations work, media management, website, digital communications, coordination and delivery of strategic campaigns and their associated communications and relationship management with partners, funders and stakeholders. It will be responsible for providing communications and promotion support across the organisation.

Reporting to the Head of Engagement, the applicant should be an enthusiastic self-starter, with proven experience in high level PR and communications work and a track record of building networks to generate national media coverage, with an interest and understanding of the issues facing rural communities today. Taking in to account the current Covid-19 pandemic, the Communication Manager will play an important role in placing community businesses at the heart of a rural economic recovery. This role will support the organisation's vision for rural communities, which will ultimately support even more community businesses to open across the UK.

If you are interested in joining this organisation, at a time when more and more local services and businesses are coming into community ownership then they look forward to hearing from you.
