Volunteer Strategic Communications Advisor

What will you be doing?

We are a purpose-led Community Interest Company (CIC) committed to supporting the fair and responsible integration of migrants into their new communities. To elevate our voice and expand our reach, we are seeking a strategic and creative Communications Strategy Advisor to help shape and guide our communications efforts across all channels. This is an exciting opportunity for a communications professional who wants to use their skills for meaningful impact. You’ll play a key role in ensuring our messaging is clear, compelling, and aligned with our mission, enabling us to engage partners, funders, and communities more effectively. Key Responsibilities:

Develop and advise on a high-level communications strategy that aligns with our mission, values, and growth goals. Help define key messages and tone of voice for different audiences, including partners, funders, the public, and those we support. Review and improve current communication materials, including website content, brochures, pitch decks, reports, and email campaigns. Provide guidance on storytelling approaches that centre dignity, inclusion, and impact. Support the development of content plans for digital platforms (social media, newsletters, blogs). Help establish communication goals and simple metrics to evaluate reach and engagement. Collaborate with the CIC’s leadership and other advisors to ensure consistent, impactful messaging across initiatives.

What You’ll Gain:

A chance to use your professional skills to support a vital mission. The opportunity to shape the voice and visibility of an emerging CIC. Flexible commitment around your schedule. Recognition for your work across our platforms and network. A meaningful role that helps empower migrant communities through clear, values-led communication.

What are we looking for?

Key Skills & Experience:

Over 3 years proven experience in communications, brand strategy, content development, or public relations. Strong understanding of nonprofit or social impact communications (experience with CICs or migrant-focused organisations is a plus). Excellent writing, editing, and storytelling skills. Ability to translate complex ideas into clear, accessible language. Strategic mindset with creative flair. Comfortable providing high-level guidance and actionable feedback. Familiarity with digital communication tools and platforms is desirable (e.g. Canva, Mailchimp, WordPress, LinkedIn).

What difference will you make?

As Communications Strategy Advisor, your expertise will directly influence how our CIC is seen, heard, and understood—by the communities we support, the partners we collaborate with, and the funders we rely on. By shaping clear, inclusive, and powerful messaging, you’ll help amplify our voice and build a strong, values-led brand that inspires trust and action. Effective communication is essential to our mission of supporting the fair and responsible integration of migrants. With your guidance, we’ll be able to tell authentic stories that reflect the challenges, hopes, and strengths of migrant communities—raising awareness, shifting perceptions, and building empathy. You’ll help us connect more meaningfully with the public, attract skilled contributors, and increase our chances of securing funding and strategic partnerships. Your work will also strengthen our internal clarity, ensuring that everyone involved in our organisation—from team members to advisors—shares a unified understanding of our goals, values, and impact. This alignment will empower us to work more cohesively and present a consistent, confident presence across all platforms. Ultimately, your role will have a lasting impact by helping us grow our reach, build stronger relationships, and ensure that the voices of migrants are heard, respected, and uplifted in every space we operate.
