Jobs

We are looking for a creative and organised Communications Officer to join our small team, to support the delivery of our marketing and communications work. This is a position which will suit someone looking for their first or second job with a passion for communicating complex issues in accessible and engaging ways, and who is looking for real world communications experience in the social sector. 

This role is only open to applicants through the Government’s Kickstart scheme. If you are 16-24 years old, on Universal Credit, and interested in applying for this role, you need to get in touch with your UC coach and ask them to refer you to the job.

The work will involve social media planning and creation of content with respect to land issues, copywriting and researching blog posts, newsletters and articles, and creating marketing resources for consultancy, research and other services. You will also support us to organise and deliver events and workshops, and collect and analyse data to help us understand the effectiveness of different communications channels.

We will work actively with the successful candidate to develop your understanding of how to apply your skills in the context of a social enterprise working for social change. We’d particularly welcome applications from candidates with experience of communications and/or marketing work in a commercial, campaigning or community or social group context.

We are looking for two new non-executive directors to join our team – this is an rolling vacancy. 

Shared Assets is a self managing and mutually supportive organisation. We actively look to distribute power throughout the organisation as much as possible. The role of a Shared Assets non-executive director is very much one of support and challenge and not of command-and-control. We value our non-executive board members as they provide valuable insight, strategic direction, and help keep the organisation honest, focussed and sustainable. The executive team provides the leadership, develops the strategy, and delivers the work.

Take a look at this blog which explains why we are looking for new board members with experience of marginalisation from the current land system.

While unpaid, this is a great opportunity to:

• Gain non-executive and governance level experience 
• Experiment with “self managing” governance
• Get a close up view into the running of a small social enterprise
• Opportunities for strategic engagement with land issues and how we best tackle them
• Engage with a growing, ambitious and innovative organisation

We are looking for people who, in particular:

• Have experience of being marginalised by the dominant land system in some way, and are interested in using that experience to create systemic change
• Are interested in and passionate about our mission to reimagine what we can do with land, together. 
• Have some experience and insight to share that will help our business model 
• Are interested in organisational development
