Could you be our Communications Consultant?

Are you a communications expert with a passion for storytelling and strategy? We’re looking for a UK-based Freelance Communications Consultant to lead our external communications and boost our public profile. This flexible, remote role (approx. 2–3 days/week) is your chance to make a real impact—crafting compelling narratives, building media relationships, and driving engagement across digital and traditional channels.

Friends of Friendless Churches (FoFC) is a small charity with a big task: For the past 68 years, we’ve been rescuing, repairing, and campaigning for redundant historic places of worship all across England and Wales. Since 2020, we have significantly expanded our digital presence, especially in social media, and are now looking for a passionate and social-media-savvy digital communications consultant who can help us to build on this strong foundation, extend our reach further and support our marketing , PR and fundraising goals.

As our communications consultant, you’ll be critical to our organisation, guiding our brand voice, supporting our team with engaging, accessible content, and ensuring our messaging is tight across all platforms—from press releases and blogs to social media and membership news. The postholder will work with staff and volunteers to communicate the work, purpose and activities of the whole organisation, reaching and engaging both new and existing audiences and inspiring action and support through innovative content and campaigns. With the freedom to work independently and creatively, you’ll collaborate with content creators and editors, as well as the small FoFC team to develop, implement and deliver a cohesive communications strategy.

If you’re a strategic thinker with a sharp editorial eye, a flair for digital, and a passion for heritage or building conservation, we’d love to hear from you.

We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis and early applications are encouraged.
