This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding. We have much to be proud of in our one hundred years of history, but we know that to remain vibrant and relevant to young people we must continually evolve.

We have begun a process of significant change: transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future by putting young people at the heart of our organisation. We are on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people across the UK every week.

You'll bring excellent project and stakeholder management skills to ensure internal client briefs are met and our in-house creatives and freelancers deliver quality and value for money for Girlguiding. You'll have a sound understanding of the creative process and know how to get the best out of the designers and writers you work with. You'll be a collaborative team player and highly proficient in managing your workload, prioritising multiple projects as needed.
