The role will support the objectives of the Living Wage Foundation by communicating our work to a wide range of audiences, including senior business leaders and politicians, through media outlets, website and internal communications channels.

The post holder will be responsible for day-to-day engagement with media and will support the development of creative press campaigns to build awareness of the Living Wage Foundation’s work, including our new Living Hours and Living Wage Places programmes.
