Job Description

Locations:  Home and/or in the office (Tavistock House, London) 

Are you passionate about ensuring people have the skills to save a life and that people’s wishes around CPR are discussed and respected?

Resuscitation Council UK is an expert, but small, organisation, that is the recognised authority in resuscitation in the UK. We are looking for a Media, Community Partnerships and People Stories Manager who will be responsible for the organisation’s media activity, the development of people stories to show the human impact of our work and the development of trusted partnerships with community organisations. 

In this varied role, you will seek out stories that raise awareness for, and build the profile of, Resuscitation Council UK, our guidelines, courses, and standards, and other important areas of our work, such as the Restart A Heart campaign and the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) process. 

We recognise the critical value of low-cost/no-cost channels in raising awareness of sudden cardiac arrests, encouraging CPR and AED awareness and inspiring public action to save lives. We also understand the importance of working with trusted organisations and messengers to reach communities in an effective and culturally sensitive way. We are really excited about some of the doors we’ve been opening recently to work in partnership with community-led organisations to address health inequalities in the field of cardiac arrest and this role will be crucial to driving this work forward.

This role, which is new to the organisation, will sit within the organisation’s growing Engagement and Influencing team of six people. The postholder will report to the Director of Engagement and Influencing and will lead on the work to secure media coverage, to develop and share case studies and to develop community partnerships to reach all areas of Society. 

If this role at Resuscitation Council UK sounds like it could be for you, we would love to hear from you.

About Resuscitation Council UK

Resuscitation Council UK is saving lives by developing guidelines, influencing policy, delivering courses and supporting cutting-edge research. Through education, training, and research, we’re working towards the day when everyone in the country has the skills, they need to save a life. We are the UK experts in clinical guidelines, standards, and education for resuscitation practice for those working in healthcare and in the public space. 

We always seek to balance business needs with a flexible approach to working stylexxxxs and preferences. We have a strong commitment to inclusion and diversity and will provide reasonable adjustments internally and support Access to Work applications if you require this.

Work can be undertaken at home or in the office (Tavistock House, London), at the successful applicant's choice. Some travel to the office or other locations will be required as part of the role, but reasonable adjustments, such as enabling the postholder’s participation through digital technology, will be made for the successful applicant where this is required. If you would like to make an Access to Work application for a grant to pay for support tailored to your individual needs, such as a support worker, adaptations to the equipment you use, special equipment, taxi fares to and from work if public transport is not accessible to you, we will support you in this process.

Diversity, inclusion and working with people with lived experience are important elements of our work and we recognise the need for us as an organisation to keep improving in these areas. Our membership of the Inequalities in Health Alliance and National Voices are important to us. We are committed to continual improvement and encourage colleagues to keep learning and developing, to identify gaps in our knowledge, and to access events and webinars that help us to increase our knowledge and experience, particularly in the areas of equality, diversity and inclusion.
