We are proud to promote a truly hybrid work culture, recognising that every role is different, and everyone has unique needs and preferences. Our Hybrid Work Arrangement empowers each team member to work with their manager to choose the most effective way to work that balances your needs and Hospice UK's. The External Affairs team is based across the UK, including in Wales and Scotland. We're open minded about where you are based, but the nature of our work, particularly our media and public affairs, means regular presence in London is necessary. We're looking for someone who is happy to commit to being in London a day a week on average. Contractually this role is London-based. Benefits: 25 days in the first year, increasing to 27.5 days in the second year of service and 30 days in the third. Matched pension scheme up to 7% of salary Support for staff with caring responsibilities Family-friendly culture How to Apply: CV and supporting statement - using Hospice UK's supporting statement document - see below Closing date for applications: 12-noon on Monday 21 July 2025 Interview dates: Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 July 2025. Interviews will take place in person at our offices in London. We'll send assessmentsand some questions to you in advance so that you can prepare. Let us know if you have any specific needs to be able to fully engage with the process. Job Information This is an opportunity to lead an award winning communications team - Third Sector Communications Team of the Year in 2024 - that's tasked with changing how we think about hospice, end of life and palliative care in the UK. As the charity representing the UK's 200+ hospices, we have secured ourselves a significant national platform in the past year or two, with regular, top-tier national media, and online campaigns which have forced the government to act. With assisted dying legislation progressing across the UK, now is a critically important moment for the public - and for politicians - to better understand what hospice care is all about, and the challenges we face. As part of our mission to promote and protect hospice care for all, it is critical that our communications team keeps it high on the agenda. We've built huge momentum - whether with regular national TV news coverage, a rapidly growing online supporter base, or though our recently overhauled brand. But we need a savvy, politically switched-on Head of Communications and Campaigns to keep that going, and to make it pay off. Hospices are amongst our most loved community charities, and our job as the national charity for hospice care is to rally the public - as well as major donors like companies and trusts - to support these brilliant organisations. You'll need a strong eye for a story, and an integrated understanding of the full spectrum of communications, campaigns and marketing. You'll likely be a specialist in one area - which is fine - but we want someone who can join the dots, spot the opportunities, and inspire a team of specialists. Hospices are under huge pressure. Funding is tight, and demand is surging. This is your chance, in the coming years, to play a leading role in fighting for hospices to get the support they need - from government, from the media, and from the public. More information about the role is available in the candidate information pack . How to apply If you would like to apply for this role, please send the following documents to by 12-noon on Monday 21 July 2025: Your CV. Ideally in Microsoft Word format and less than 3 pages of A4 A completed supporting statement form (where you can demonstrate how you meet the person specification.) A completed equalities monitoring form . We will shortlist candidates based on their CV and supporting statements. A briefing of what to expect will be sent in advance to shortlisted candidates. Closing date for applications: by 12-noon on Monday 21 July 2025 . We believe in fair recruitment and working to remove bias, so all applications will have identifying indicators removed before being submitted to the shortlisting panel. Please make sure you provide your contact details in your email. Please note the interview dates above and let us know if there are any accommodations you might need to participate fully in the process. We will try to be flexible. To be considered for this role you must have the right to live and work in the UK for your application to be progressed. Hospice UK is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. Candidate Information Pack: HoCC - Candidate Information Pack v2.pdf (1.23 MB document)
