Harris Hill is delighted to be partnering with the Henry Smith Foundation to recruit their Communications Officer at an exciting point in the Foundation’s journey.
For over 400 years, the Henry Smith Foundation has worked to tackle poverty and address systemic inequality. Its 2025–2030 strategy, Elevate Your Impact, focuses on supporting people through life’s toughest transitions — helping families give children the best start in life, supporting young people to build independence, and enabling safer futures for those rebuilding after abuse, displacement or prison.
We’re looking for a creative and organised communications professional to help deliver high-quality content across the Foundation’s digital channels. You’ll play a key role in shaping and publishing engaging stories that bring the organisation’s work to life, from website content and social media to email campaigns, case studies and press materials.
Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you’ll help manage the communications calendar, contribute to social media strategy, and ensure all content is timely, accessible and aligned with the Foundation’s tone of voice and values. You’ll also support regular website updates, manage digital assets, and use analytics to track performance and inform continuous improvement.
Is this role for you?
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys turning insight into impact, collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders, and using data to strengthen communications that support meaningful, long-term social change. You may have developed your experience at a non-profit, commercial, or agency environment, and are looking for a hands-on role, where you can tell powerful stories through your creative writing skills.

Our approach to candidates using AI in applications
We recognise that technology, including AI tools, can be helpful when preparing job applications, and we welcome the use of tools that support you in presenting your experience clearly.

We are committed to creating an inclusive recruitment process. If you require any reasonable adjustments to support you during the application or interview stages, please let us know. You can share your needs at any point in the process. Adjustments can be tailored to suit both physical and mental health needs.
