JOA is looking for a creative and enthusiastic person to join our team to help shape and deliver our communications activities and public engagement. You will be responsible for developing and implementing a communications strategy to support JOA in meeting its objectives, which include raising understanding in Jersey about aid and development, facilitating local efforts to alleviate poverty internationally, and enhancing Jersey’s profile as a responsible global citizen and force for good in the world.
In general you will help increase public knowledge about aid within Jersey and increase global knowledge of Jersey’s aid outside it. This will involve working closely with JOA’s staff and partners, including charities and UN agencies in our target countries. We’re looking for someone with a track record in communications and public engagement who can bring new ideas for engaging with the Jersey and UK public. You don’t have to know much about the humanitarian and international development sectors to begin with, but you should be passionate about the work we do and ready to travel and learn. There may be a few occasions (crises, foreign trips) when we’ll need you to drop everything, but the job is part time with significant flexibility available.
