Communications Officer; maternity cover

About the role

Our Fundraising and Communications team is all about telling the story of CPAS in a way that connects, inspires and makes a real impact. We build meaningful relationships with people and communities, grow awareness of what we do, and drive fundraising through creative campaigns, digital content, and events. Whether it’s a standout campaign, a social post that resonates, or an event that brings people together, we’re at the heart of how CPAS connects in the world and keeps its mission moving forward.

We’re a collaborative, ideas-driven team that works across the organisation, supporting a wide range of initiatives and projects. That means no two days look the same; one day you might be planning a campaign, the next you’re creating content, analysing engagement, or supporting a live event. It’s varied and full of opportunities to bring fresh ideas to life.

We’re looking for a creative, proactive, and people-focused Communications Officer to join us. In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping how CPAS communicates, helping to plan and deliver high-quality, engaging content across multiple channels, from digital platforms and email campaigns to print and events. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues across teams, turning ideas into compelling stories and campaigns that genuinely connect with people.

We’re looking for someone who understands how to build and deliver effective multichannel communication plans that don’t just look good but make a real impact, increasing engagement, deepening relationships and creating positive, memorable experiences for supporters and church audiences. You’ll care about the details, take pride in producing high-quality work and always be looking for ways to improve, learn and try new approaches.

If you’re ready to use your creativity and communication skills in a role where your work genuinely matters and where you can grow, gain valuable experience, experiment and be part of something bigger, we would love to hear from you!
