We're looking for a creative, thoughtful and organised Communications Graduate to help us tell people about Chayn's work and reach more survivors, supporters and partners.
You'll work across our social media, newsletters, website, campaigns and organisational communications. You might spend one day turning research about gender-based violence into an accessible social media post, another helping launch a new resource, and another looking at our analytics to understand what is reaching people and what we could do differently.
This is a graduaterole, so we don't expect you to arrive knowing everything. You'll receive guidance and support from our Head of Communications while gaining practical experience across digital communications, campaigning, storytelling and content management in an international feminist nonprofit.
Your work will include:
Communicating about gender-based violence requires care.
Our content needs to be honest about harm without being sensationalist, and warm without becoming vague or patronising. We speak to people who may be experiencing trauma, as well as supporters, partners, funders and organisations working in the sector.
You'll need to think carefully about language, context, accessibility and power. Sometimes you'll be working with complicated research or difficult subject matter and will need to find a way to make it understandable without losing its meaning.
We don't expect you to do this alone. You'll work closely with the Head of Communications and other members of the team, using Chayn's trauma-informed design principles and safeguarding approach to guide your work.
We're interested in people who care about language, ideas and how communications can contribute to social change.
You may have recently graduated in communications, marketing, journalism, media, design, humanities, social sciences, international development, gender studies or another relevant subject. We also recognise that people develop communications skills in many different ways, so we welcome applications from people whose experience does not fit neatly into one academic route.
During the 12 months, you'll have the opportunity to:
At Chayn, inclusion and accessibility are at the core of our work. We welcome applicants from all walks of life. Given the nature of our work and our global audience, we particularly encourage applications from those who grew up in the Global South or Majority World.
We also encourage applications from people of colour, LGBTQ+ people—we are a trans-inclusive organisation—people with disabilities, and people who have experienced exclusion or marginalisation. Up to 70% of our team members are survivors of abuse, so if you are one too and are thinking of applying, know that you will be in a safe and affirming space.
We aim to make our recruitment process as accessible as possible, but know there may be more we can do. If you have particular accessibility needs or require additional support, please contact us so we can think together about how to make the process easier for you.
