Communication Coordinator

Communications Coordinator

At The Children's Center for Communication/Beverly School for the Deaf (CCCBSD), we provide transformative, person-centered education and services for deaf and/or disabled individuals in a language-rich, inclusive setting. We envision a world where Deaf and disabled individuals, their families, and communities thrive with dignity, purpose, and joy.

We are seeking a creative, collaborative, and highly organized Communications Coordinator to help tell our story, strengthen community engagement, and advance our mission through strategic communications, marketing, fundraising support, and digital engagement.

Working in partnership with the Director of Advancement and Executive Director, the Communications Coordinator develops and implements communication, marketing, and community engagement strategies that strengthen CCCBSD's visibility, support fundraising efforts, and connect with families, donors, alumni, community partners, and the broader public.

As the organization's primary communications professional, you'll partner across departments to create compelling, accessible, and culturally responsive communications that showcase the impact of our students, programs, and mission.

No two days are exactly alike. One day you may be photographing a student event, the next creating communications for a fundraising campaign, updating the website, supporting an alumni gathering, or collaborating with school leaders to share the incredible work happening across our campus.

This position generally follows a Monday–Friday daytime schedule with occasional evening and weekend responsibilities for fundraising events, school activities, conferences, and community engagement. CCCBSD values work-life balance and is open to discussing scheduling options, including a school-year schedule with additional workdays or a comparable year-round schedule based on organizational needs and the successful candidate.
