We are looking to recruit a Communication and Media Lead. 

We have a compelling story to tell, and we are looking for candidates who will bring energy, ideas, creativity and enthusiasm to our organisation.

We are the Rural Services Network, the national champion for rural services, working to ensure that rural communities have a strong voice. We are a membership organisation, representing over 500 organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors including leading national bodies, local authorities, utility companies, health trusts, housing associations, grass root community organisations and more.

We have no office, we all work from home, but full support is available from our small dynamic team and we will teach you about our campaigns, so that you are fully prepared to help us raise the profile of our work.

We deliver services to our membership each week and the role will be involved in the creation of newsletter content sent to 20,000 contacts each week, as well as raising the profile of the organisation through targeted campaigns and social media.

We are launching our Roadmap for Rural campaign which sets out our asks of the political parties ahead of the upcoming election and we are looking for a dynamic individual to help direct and maximise the impact of our campaign.

Applicants must be able to provide proof that they are eligible to work in the UK.
