Senior External Engagement Manager
The Senior External Engagement Manager is a new role which will work with colleagues across the organisation to ensure that our external engagement and communications are strategically aligned and impactful, maximising their contribution to Settle’s goals. You’ll help Settle develop and implement an engagement and influencing strategy to improve practice in local authorities and housing providers. You will work with our partnerships and fundraising teams to create and deliver compelling marketing and communications messages and material for key audiences across a range of channels.
Senior External Engagement Manager
Over the next few years, Settle wants to bring the voices of care-experienced young people and our learning together to influence wider change. At the same time, we need to develop and deepen our delivery and funding networks and relationships, so that we can support more young people.
You’ll help us get the most out of our communications and engagement work, finding creative ways to meet more than one purpose – whether that’s a National Care Leavers Month event that engages both policy audiences and potential funders, a report for local authorities that helps change practice and recruit new partners, or a relationship with an influencer that boosts our profile and encourages more young people to access our support.
