Freelance Public Relations Consultant

Freelance PR Specialist (Purpose-Driven Stories | Pay Per Placement)

Turn real-world impact into headlines.

At Charity Accounting Partners, we believe finance is what enables charities to survive, grow and change lives. But let's be real with one another, accounting doesn't light most people up like it does us accountants... You know it, we know it.

The real story isn’t us nor our unusual enthusiasm for numbers. It's what the work we do enables. It’s the charities we support - and the impact they deliver every day.

The charity sector is up against it. Funding cuts, soaring demand and rising costs. Those are just the financial impacts. The consequences mean real world impact stops. Community support reduces. Those in need get less help.

Without accounting and finance management, the impact stops. Communities suffer. This is the reality charities face. Many more will be closing their doors in the coming months. Charities that ran food banks, kept the elderly warm and inspired youngsters to dream big.

We’re looking for a well-connected PR specialist who can take those stories, shape them, and get them in front of the right audiences.

The role

This role is about putting real-world impact at the centre and positioning CAP as the partner behind it.

You’ll uncover and amplify stories like:

• Charities delivering free contraception to women in Nigeria
• Charities training anaesthetists to be their best
• Charities funding young scientists from low socioeconomic backgrounds to fly across the world to attend their first conference
• Charities conserving wildlife and rare species such as parrots facing extinction
• A founder running extreme marathons (including Everest marathon - yes you read that right...) to raise awareness for the pressures facing the sector

These are powerful, human stories. They just need someone who knows how to get them seen.

What you'll be doing

• Reviewing draft releases and advising the founder on revisions to create compelling, media-ready narratives
• Securing press coverage that highlights both the mission and CAP’s role behind it
• Using your existing network to land fast, meaningful placements
• Spotting timely hooks and tying them to sector-wide challenges and conversations

What we're looking for

• A strong, active media network with immediate access to opportunities
• Proven ability to get stories published, not just written
• Instinct for what makes a story land - especially human, purpose-driven angles
• Someone who moves fast and is very self-motivated

How you'll be paid

• Pay per published press release / placement
• Generous % commission on new clients converted through PR exposure
• Clear, performance-driven model
• You deliver exposure, you get rewarded

You will be working closely with the founder. As the partnership proves successful, there will be more opportunities to contribute and make an impact.

Why this matters

You won’t just be doing PR. You’ll be helping bring visibility to work that genuinely matters. No corporate box ticking - we don't do that fluff.

For every charity that partners with us, we help them become financially sustainable. That means their ability to support their community and deliver against their charitable objectives is so much stronger.

2. Why you'd love to be considered for the role,

There are stories here worth telling. We just need the right person to get them heard.
