Communications Coordinator

What will you be doing?

The Role:

Great work is happening on the ground. Your job is to make sure the world knows about it.

Your role will be to coordinate our storytelling efforts to ensure a reliable flow of high-quality communications across our channels. Your role will be behind the scenes but vital; you will be the person with the overview of the flow of storytelling materials, playing a key role in ensuring regular comms and therefore growing impact with our key audiences.

We are already present on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook; we want to strengthen our consistency on all these platforms as well as our on-the-ground communications with residents in Hackney.

What You'll Do:

• Manage a content calendar across our Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube, bringing greater consistency to our presence on all platforms.
• Produce fresh, engaging content that brings our community stories, habitat transformations and Natural Champions programme to life.
• Design simple, on-brand graphics using free tools like Canva.
• Run a targeted campaign around our Hackney pilot sites, and contribute to broader conversations in urban nature, biodiversity, and nature-derived health and wellbeing.
• Engage actively with our followers — responding, connecting, and growing our community online.

You will be working as part of the Storytellers working group alongside our Founder and relevant Trustee(s) who will provide an overview of our existing communication and marketing materials, as well as our storytelling strategy, brand guidelines and nascent brand research/user personas.

What are we looking for?

What We're Looking For:

You're someone who can turn a muddy boots site visit into a compelling Instagram post, and a funding milestone into a LinkedIn story worth sharing. You'll bring at least three (3) years experience of:

• Creating and editing content for websites and/or platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook or YouTube.
• Building marketing strategies to grow our following and support crowdfunding and awareness campaigns.
• Using communications tools such as Canva, Hootsuite or Sprout Social.

Just as important as the skills:

• Accuracy and attention to detail.
• The ability to learn quickly and understand the needs of our team, organisation, and audiences.
• Confidence asking the right questions to clarify what we need.
• An appreciation of the resource realities of a small charity, and a willingness to work creatively within them.
• An open, constructive approach to giving and receiving feedback.

What difference will you make?

What difference will you make?

Your input will shape how our local residents, partners, funders and the wider public see Natural Neighbours.

With your support, we'll grow our work, strengthen our case for funding, deepen our community relationships, and add our voice to a growing public conversation about what towns and cities can do for nature, and what nature can do for people.
