Job Details

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a fast-moving press office for the UK’s lung health charity. We’re looking for a dedicated person who has a talent for creating stories and bringing to life the incredible work that we do. You will be responsible for creating compelling content for both traditional and social media.

We need an experienced senior communications professional with a strategic mind and expert media handling skills to ensure our campaigns hit the mark. You’ll lead on strategic planning to make sure our work is coordinated so we make the maximum impact in enhancing the reputation of the BLF and creating buzz around key programmes. You’ll raise our game when it comes to tracking and measuring the success of campaigns to ensure they’re making a difference.

To succeed in this position, you should have excellent writing skills and be a confident speaker. Additionally, you’ll have experience in messaging and the media, along with excellent organisational skills and an ability to work to often very tight deadlines.

Not only are we the only UK charity looking after the nation’s lungs but also a fantastic employer. We have recently been nationally recognised as a fantastic place to work after earning a place at no.45 in The Sunday Times Best 100 Not for Profit Organisations. This is a great achievement as only the organisations with the highest level of employee engagements qualify for the list.

As well as a competitive salary you can enjoy a range of benefits including our cycle-to-work scheme, interest-free annual season Travelcard loan, 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata for part-time employees), pension scheme and much more.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to an organisation committed to supporting everyone whose lives are changed by lung disease.

Company

The British Lung Foundation supports people affected by lung disease in a number of ways, and this is reflected in the range of jobs within the charity. Our staff work in patient support, nursing, helpline support, fundraising, campaigning and publicity, information and publications, research administration, health policy and more. 

One person in seven in the UK is affected by a lung disease. Whether it's mild asthma or lung cancer, the British Lung Foundation (BLF) is here for every one of them. 

Over the last 25 years we have developed programmes to support improvements in all areas of respiratory medicine, from funding world-class, independent research to pioneering end-of-life care programmes for people with lung disease.
