What You’ll Do

As a Campaign Communicator you will:

• Develop & deliver campaign communications to support organising drives, strikes and campaigns.
  
• Support creative development: produce accessible visuals and champion our visual identity.
  
• Manage digital engagement: post content across social media, our website and monitor analytics to measure and improve reach.

• Supporting media relations:  liaise with journalists, provide quotes, and package content to highlight campaigns.

• Build internal communications capacity: train members and staff in communications initiatives and identify opportunities to improve UVW’s digital presence.
  
• Monitor and respond to communications gaps, proactively proposing new ideas to strengthen campaign impact.
  

Who You Are

We’re looking for someone with:

• Strong knowledge of digital channels, social media management, and analytics.
• Excellent content creation skills, including audio/video editing and copywriting.
• Experience or knowledge of journalism, press offices, or campaign communications.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to work under tight deadlines.
• Flexibility and teamwork skills to operate across multiple projects.
• Commitment to trade unions and social justice.

Desirable Skills

Why Work with UVW?

This is a campaign communicator’s dream role – an opportunity to work directly with workers and amplify their stories. Bring your creativity, digital expertise, and passion for justice to UVW, and help us tell the stories that matter. You’ll engage supporters, hold bosses accountable, and fight for dignity, equality, and respect. Using every format – video, audio, and written content – you’ll turn research and members’ insights into powerful campaigns that amplify workers’ voices, challenge exploitative practices, and build solidarity across the UK and beyond.
