About us
There aren’t many organisations that can say they’ve been serving their community for over 550 years. Croydon Almshouses (CA) can and we’re proud to be the oldest charity in Croydon, rooted in a long-standing commitment to local people and place.
Since 1447, we’ve provided almshouse accommodation to older people with a connection to Croydon who are negatively affected by poverty. For the past 40 years, we’ve also awarded grants to voluntary, community and faith sector organisations, and individuals across the Borough.
Now, our focus is firmly on what comes next. Our vision is to create thriving communities where everybody can live with dignity and independence, using our resources and agility to reduce the impact of poverty on people in Croydon.
To help us deliver this, we’re recruiting an experienced and creative Communications Lead, who is a values-led team player, who demonstrates exceptional attention to detail and strong communication skills to support CA as we expand our reach across the wider Croydon community.
The opportunity
Working closely with the CEO, you will lead the development and delivery of a multi-channel communications plan that strengthens our reputation, amplifies our voice, and ensures our message reaches the communities we serve.
This is a unique opportunity to join a small, dedicated team where your work will have visible and meaningful impact. You will bring clarity, consistency, and creativity to all aspects of CA’s communications.
deliver clear, consistent messaging
