PUBLIC RELATIONS SENIOR COORDINATOR

With over 25 years’ experience, Restless Development has been providing structured opportunities for young people in the Global north to contribute to development. Our International Youth Engagement Unit is currently responsible for a portfolio of innovative programmes that bring young people from the global north and south together to contribute to positive development impact on the ground, improved policy and practice and increased support and commitment to International Development in the UK.

As part of a VSO led consortium, the Unit is responsible for Restless Developments delivery and global coordination of the DFID funded 3 year International Citizen Service (ICS) programme. Over a three year period, the consortium will provide structured opportunities for over 7,000 young people from the UK to contribute meaningfully to development programmes in Africa and Asia, through collaboration of young leaders from across the globe.

The Unit is also delivering a new and innovative pilot programme funded by the Gates foundation – which will facilitate young people and returned volunteers in the UK to influence decision makers and public opinion, contributing to improved development policy and practice in the longer term.

Restless Development has ambitious objectives in the UK to engage decision makers and the public to get involved in our work and support international development to tackle global poverty. In order to achieve this, we are increasing our external relations capacity to create an integrated Marketing & Communications team of four including this new UK Public Relations role.

As part of a new team working on innovative programmes looking to scale up reach and impact across the UK, you will not only have the opportunity to help shape the formation of a small but dynamic and skilled MarComms team, but the access to cutting-edge public opinion and message-testing research to develop a new strategy for talking about international development in the UK.

Closing date: 9am (UK Time), Wednesday 3rd September
