Transparency International UK (TI-UK) is looking for an Events and Communications Officer to join us on an initial six-month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave, expected to run from October 2026 to April 2027.

This is an opportunity to play a central role in delivering TI-UK’s programme of member and public-facing events, spanning in-person, hybrid and online formats.

This is a blended working role, combining remote working with attendance at our London office, meetings and events as required. Some UK travel and occasional evening events may be required.

The Events and Communications Officer will report to the Senior Communications and Media Manager.

How to apply:

We know AI can be very helpful for job applications. Producing well written text is essential for this role, therefore we ask that you limit your use of it to refining text rather than production.

As we are expecting a large number of applicants we may use question 1 to do an initial sift before then scoring the remaining two questions.

We use a recruitment platform called Applied. This promotes fairness, inclusivity and diversity. With anonymised applications and predictive, skill-based assessments, the system aims to address bias and provide a positive and efficient recruitment process. You can find more details on their website beapplied.com.

After you apply, answers go through our sift process: all are anonymised, randomised and then reviewed by a panel of reviewers. Your CV does not form part of the sift process and you should therefore take the time to answer the specific questions fully and where appropriate with your relevant evidence.

The platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application.  We will not see individual responses to these questions. Only summary statistics are provided to help us ensure our candidate pool is balanced and if everyone has an equal chance to get hired irrespective of their background. If you prefer, you can easily opt out of answering these questions.

Closing date to apply: 30 October 2026

We encourage you to apply as soon as possible if you are interested in this role. Where we have high numbers of applications we can commence screening and progress with recruitment ahead of the advertised closing date.

This role is based in the UK and requires you to have right to work currently in place.
