Our clients are non-government organisations, former government officials, institutions and social enterprises.

We are looking for a Public Relations and Marketing Volunteer to promote Grassroot Diplomat to potential new clients. As a PR and Marketing Officer, you will be responsible for building our press database and maintain the image and reputation of Grassroot Diplomat to potential customers and the general public.

This is an opportunity to really shine in a new role to generate more support and drive our brand forward. You will have close contact with the Director and senior figures within the organisation. You must be able to demonstrate a confident and mature communication style.
