Are you looking for your next PR challenge and would relish the opportunity to help promote the UK's leading hospice care charity?
Hospice UK is looking for an experienced and dynamic Senior Media and PR Officer to help drive its media work.
The role:
Reporting to the Head of Media & PR, the role will focus on driving proactive media work to promote Hospice UK and increase awareness of hospice care, as well as supporting other external communications work.
Key responsibilities will include:
Leading on proactive media relations to promote the work of Hospice UK, including designing and implementing PR strategies for key projects and campaigns.
Proactively generating creative ideas for features to help raise the profile of hospice care in national, consumer and trade media.
Researching and writing press releases, picture stories, features, letters to editor and other communications materials for external publication.

You will have solid experience in media relations and possess high quality writing skills, with a strong track record of achieving positive media coverage for an organisation's key projects and activities.
You will be creative, dynamic and bursting with ideas, as well as having excellent judgement and strong emotional intelligence, with a well-honed ability to deal sensitively with a range of stakeholders.
About us
Hospice UK is the national charity for hospice care, supporting over 200 hospices in the UK. We believe that everyone matters throughout their life right up until they die, and that no one should die in avoidable pain or suffering.
Our aim is to make sure that every child and adult with a life-limiting or terminal condition gets the very best care, no matter who they are, where they are or why they are ill, and we believe hospices are critical to achieving this. Collectively hospices in the UK care for around 360,000 people every year - patients and their families and carers - and we work closely with them to support their vital work, share best practice and to create a stronger national voice for hospice care.
Our strategic priorities are to:
extend the reach and enable hospice quality care to be delivered in any setting
tackle inequality and widen access to hospice care
work with communities to build capacity and resilience to care for those at the end of their life
empower a strong, dynamic and responsive hospice sector.
