Join our team! Communications and Events Executive

Contract Type: Full-Time/Part-Time, Permanent

Location: Based in London Office, with option for regular remote working; some travel within UK required.

Salary: Dependent on experience

The education charity Racing to School is a small, ambitious organisation that works across the horseracing industry to support the learning and development of young people. Free educational programmes are delivered for schools and colleges at all GB racecourses and other industry-related venues. In 2024, the charity achieved a record year of participation, engaging over 17,000 young people across 456 events.

Racing to School leads and promotes the Racing Together partnership, which embraces all of horseracing’s community engagement activity undertaken by a range of charities and commercial organisations. Both areas of the work rely on high quality communications and event management.

This important role represents an exciting opportunity for a creative and enthusiastic individual with communications experience to work within a collaborative and supportive team. Reporting to the Racing to School Fundraising and Communications Manager and Racing Together Community Engagement Manager, the position will also work closely with the Chief Executive and small staff team, further supported by a committed Board of Trustees.

The ideal candidate will have a demonstrable track record in producing quality, creative communications and growing an audience on social media. Strong organisational skills are required, and experience of event management support is also desirable.
