Cratus Group is a leading communications consultancy, providing integrated strategic communications and campaigns across multiple sectors.
Founded in 2009, we’ve helped some of the UK’s best known brands deliver local and national campaigns, manage political and reputational risks, engage communities, deliver social value and influence national policy on some of the most important issues facing the UK. What we do matters.
Our business is growing and we are looking to for who are politically engaged, diligent and enthusiastic. While you do not need to have industry experience, you should have proven experience of working in an office.
You should be a competent writer, able to use your own initiative, and be keen to get stuck into every aspect of a project.

- The willingness and ability to work under your own initiative;
- Problem-solving;
- The ability to manage competing priorities and work in a fast-paced environment;
- Being a team player, willing to pitch in wherever needed across a range of projects and teams;
- Being personable, able to relate to and empathise with residents, stakeholders and politicians;
- Client management abilities;
- Ability to work from the London office for a few days of the week;
- Full UK driving license;
- Flexibility to occasionally work evenings and weekends - time off in-lieu will be given.
Responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the delivery of political and stakeholder engagement programmes by drafting materials, organising meetings and managing event logistics;
- Project support including some client lead work;
- Personal development including attending relevant PRCA-led training programmes;
- Writing research reports, press releases and social media monitoring;
- Supporting Account Managers and Directors with Business Development activities and developing your own network.
In return, we offer an enjoyable and friendly working environment, a competitive salary and interesting projects to work on.
