    Description
    Sightsavers is an international organisation that changes lives for the long term.

    We work in more than 30 countries to eliminate avoidable blindness and support people with visual impairments to live independently.

    We do what we do because 80 per cent of blindness in the world is avoidable, and we think that's astoundingly unfair.

    This includes:

    Identifying proactive editorial opportunities and trending conversations to raise the profile of Sightsavers with key audiences through relevant media.

    Researching and developing story ideas about inclusion programmes and the issues which drive them.

    External and internal stakeholder management

    Sit on the crisis communications team and help manage incidents and issues that pose a reputational risk to Sightsavers
    Maintain good relationships with key stakeholders with Sightsavers and at our partner organisations for productive, mutually beneficial partnerships.

    The principal accountabilities are not meant to be an exhaustive list of tasks.

    The need for flexibility is required and the job holder is expected to carry out any other related duties that are within the employee's skills and abilities whenever reasonably instructed.

    Skills and Experience

    Demonstrable experience of working in a policy or campaigns focused media role for several years.
    Excellent knowledge of national and international media and social media.
    Ability to pitch international/development stories to the consumer, national and international media.
    Good understanding of international development and health, preferably including inclusion related issues.
    Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to tailor messages to different audiences and platforms.
