Job Opportunities

Communications Officer

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented and articulate individual to join Stonewall’s busy media team as a Communications Officer. Stonewall’s high media profile is out of proportion to the organisation’s relatively small size, so we’re looking for a proactive and intelligent PR or media professional who can help make sure our point of view is represented in the media whenever possible. The post will suit someone with a strong track record of working closely with journalists from all kinds of media to give excellent copy or quotes within tight deadlines and under pressure. This is a great opportunity for someone committed to Stonewall’s aims and objectives to help us make a real difference to Britain’s 3.7 million lesbian, gay and bisexual people. Details about the role and how to apply can be found in the recruitment pack below.
