This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and creative individual that is committed to the use of digital and communications to improve people’s lives.

The digital and communications manager role is a new post in the charity, taking an operational lead in implementing key aspects of the charity’s first digital strategy. This ambitious strategy aims to ensure that digital enables Unlock to increase the reach, accessibility and impact of our work to improve the lives of people with criminal records. The new role will also support Unlock to continue to ‘punch above its weight’ in policy, influencing and other ways by developing the charity’s external communications.

The role includes coordinating Unlock’s digital presence to ensure that we reach as many people as possible and help them to self-serve digitally, optimising digital tools to improve engagement – websites, video, communications, email and social media. The role will lead on embedding digital design principles into our work, joining-up our content approach, implementing innovative tools to help people and redeveloping the Unlock websites. The role will be responsible for creating powerful communications that raises the voice and experiences of people with criminal records, increases awareness of Unlock’s work and supports our policy and influencing work to challenge the stigma and discrimination that people face.
