Location: Teesside

Role description: Officer

Catalyst is the voice for the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Stockton-on-Tees – and right now, that voice is getting louder. As we continue our valuable role in championing the sector, we’re looking for a Communications Lead to take the reins on Catalyst’s campaign work: online, in the media, at events, and in the inboxes of everyone who needs to hear from us.

This is a role for someone who can create content and shape messages and stories that are read, shared and remembered. You’ll own our brand and digital channels, lead campaigns that cut through the noise, deliver our weekly e-bulletin, and be the voice behind our media relations and internal communications.

You’ll also be a trusted pair of hands for VCSE organisations across the borough, helping smaller groups find their own voice with the same clarity and confidence we’re building into Catalyst’s.

If you can write with authenticity and see a stakeholder list as an audience to be understood rather than a database to be managed, we want to hear from you.

If you want more information about the role, email Catalyst’s Chief Executive, sam.palombella@catalyststockton.org
