Sex Education Forum was founded in 1987 and became an independent charity in 2021. We convene over 70 Partner organisations, working together to make sure that the relationships and sex education (RSE) young people get is right for them.
We influence national policy, are a respected voice in the media and contribute to ground-breaking research on RSE. By working closely with young people and training educators who work with some of the most marginalised young people, we know what changes are needed to make RSE the best it can be. We believe that effective communication can help our messages be understood and heard.
The Communications Officer will be a new role, working closely with the CEO and staff team, enabling us to realise the ambitions of our new five-year strategy.
We are seeking to appoint someone with communications skills across digital, marketing and media, who can deploy story-telling to communicate on social issues including sensitive topics. The successful candidate will by highly organised and adept at using social media and traditional media to deliver meticulously prepared content. Excellent interpersonal skills are a must for close collaboration with colleagues and to build external networks. Your ability to deliver our communications functions with creativity and sensitivity will enable us to platform young people and communicate effectively to stakeholders including funders, government, Parliamentarians and the public.
This is an incredible opportunity for a communications specialist to bring your skillset to a thriving, innovative and highly respected national charity. This will be a rewarding role, with huge potential to grow your skills to empower others and to make a difference to the lives of children and young people.
We are particularly keen to hear from applicants that reflect the diversity of educators and young people that Sex Education Forum seeks to support.
