Title: PR Executive - Consumer PR
Based: Woolwich, South East London
Up to £33,696 + bonus + benefits

We are seeking a PR Executive to join one of the largest charitable social enterprises in the leisure industry, to be based at their Head Office in South East London.

With a mission to get more people, more active, more often, they operate almost 240 facilities under their 'Better' brand including leisure centres, numerous libraries, children's centres, adventure playgrounds, spas and events spaces - all run with the community at their heart.

Thriving in a fast-paced environment, the PR Executive will increase brand and product awareness nationally and locally, as well working with the wider Marketing and Communications team to develop a calendar of activity. You'll also produce templated press releases that are well-written and newsworthy for circulation amongst local media contacts. Working well under pressure and to tight deadlines, you'll support the Corporate Communications Manager with crisis communications including information gathering and liaison with journalists and colleagues at all levels of seniority. Adept at scrutinising the success of your campaigns, you'll continually monitor, measure, evaluate and improve upon your activities on an ongoing basis - this will include everything from increasing brand presence to using social media monitoring tools and reacting to any negative coverage.

You'll already be passionate about sport and fitness and understand how to communicate with a diverse customer base. From an agency or in-house background, you'll be looking for your next move where you'll have the opportunity to make good contacts from the worlds of media, fitness and sport as well as the third sector, and be able to hone your skills working on a high-profile brand. Naturally, you'll have excellent written and verbal communication skills and a dynamic, can-do, results-driven attitude. Experience of working on high-volume accounts would be beneficial.

If you're ready to move to a successful, growing organisation, this company offers a range of benefits including attendance-related bonus (after a qualifying period), discounted leisure membership and ongoing training and development to name a few.
