Are you passionate about the work of the British Red Cross? Could you collaborate with news outlets across Northern Ireland to deliver sustained, positive media coverage in line with strategic objectives?

The Northern Ireland Media Officer will work with outlets across Northern Ireland, positioning the British Red Cross in key national and regional media, including newspapers and magazines, online, TV, and radio to deliver sustained, positive media coverage.

Your work should inspire the public to take action to support people living in crisis, in the UK and around the world and to truly help connect human kindness with human crisis.

This is an opportunity to develop and create content and campaigns that inspire people to act and drive positive engagement. Could this role be for you?

Please see the attached Job Description for a fuller explanation of what the role entails.


Meet the team

You will work closely alongside colleagues in our Social Media, News, PR, Content and Policy & Advocacy teams who are keen to innovate and explore how we can engage with new and more diverse audiences.

Together, the teams help make up the Strategy and Communications directorate which tells stories about who we are, what we do, what we believe, and the difference we make to people's lives.

Our goal is to help people act, behave, or make decisions in a way that results in a positive change for people in crisis.

Diversity is something we celebrate

At the British Red Cross, we are looking for the best people to help us provide support to millions of people affected by crisis in the UK. We want our team to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve, offering equal opportunities to everyone, regardless of; age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.

As part of the Red Cross Red Crescent global movement, we are bound by principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence. We are committed to welcoming people from diverse backgrounds, culture and experience. At this time we particularly welcome applications from suitably qualified people from a catholic background as this group is currently under-represented in our workforce.
