______________________________________________________________________________

The ProLife Alliance is at an exciting moment in its history. Established in 1996, the organisation has

achieved a lot in the last 13 years and we continue to make a significant mark on the political and

policy landscape, changing the minds of the public and key opinion-formers. We are now expanding

our team and are looking to appoint a communications officer.

You must be highly self-motivated, well organised, prepared to accept accountability, and proactive

in identifying new opportunities to help advance the pro-life cause. Although you will be given

support and guidance, there is limited supervision in this role so it is important that you are

prepared to set your own workload and help the organisation to progress.

The role will always involve administrative tasks and support for our fundraising activities such as

corresponding with our members, but you will be given significant responsibility and the role may be

adapted to suit you depending on your specific skills and experience.

Due to the variety of the responsibilities and tasks you will be responsible for on a day-to-day basis,

you will be expected to demonstrate a willingness to take on tasks that might be outside of your

comfort zone.

PURPOSE

A key member of our team you will be responsible for campaign execution, helping to ensure that

the ProLife Alliance remains at the forefront of public and wider political debate on life issues. You

will help to manage our relationships with our membership, opinion-formers, media, and other pro-

life groups.

KEY ROLES

There are a number of essential roles you will be required to perform including:

  • Administrative tasks including management of members
  • Corresponding with our members and external organisations
  • Drafting campaign materials and compiling research
  • Monitoring political and media activity on life issues
  • Representing the ProLife Alliance at events and external meetings
  • Inputting into campaign strategy, contributing new ideas and spotting new opportunities
  • Planning and organising small-scale events such as meetings
  • Proactively spotting opportunities for the organisation to engage with both politically and
  • areas where the organisation can grow and improve.

Depending on your experience and skills, you may be given opportunities for media interviews.
