PR Freelancer

The deadline for this vacancy has passed.

Unlocked Graduates exists to break cycles of reoffending, with particular focus on breaking the link between disadvantage and reoffending.

We are looking for an expert PR freelancer with an eye for a story, strong connections across consumer, broadcast and community media.

You will have the experience and tenacity to track down and deliver stories that have an impact every month while quickly building an understanding of the sensitivities involved in working within such a controversial and closed sector. Knowledge of the criminal justice and/or working with Government press offices would be a significant benefit.

We anticipate requiring support amounting to around two days per week delivered flexibly for a minimum of six months so envisage working with an independent freelancer. We are keen to make sure the person providing this support can embed themselves in the organisation to source and develop stories at every level. However, we are also open to alternative solutions with bespoke agencies if that is better solution.

If you are interested in this project, please send your CV and any supporting information or creds to press@unlockedgrads.org.uk by Tuesday 3rd May.

These expressions of interest will be reviewed, and successful applicants will be invited to an initial interview where a more in-depth briefing on the project will be provided. After this, we will ask for final proposals.
