Who we are

We are Luminary Women - a women-led charity offering a bold, innovative response to the needs of women in London who face multiple disadvantage, including gender-based violence.

Based in Camden, London, Luminary Women has been working to empower women to reach their potential since 2013 through training and support programmes. We use baking as a tool to guide women who have experienced multiple disadvantage on a journey towards employability and independence.

Luminary Women’s Vision

A world where every woman is safe, independent, financially secure and able to thrive.

Our Mission

Luminary Women works alongside women who have experienced multiple forms of disadvantage, including gender‑based violence. We offer a holistic programme combining training, dedicated support work, community building and employment pathways. We use a trauma-informed approach to help women achieve empowerment, employment and independence - breaking the cycle of poverty, violence and disadvantage.

Our Values

Hope. Collaboration. Empathy. Empowerment.

The Role and its impact

This is an exciting, newly created role that will be instrumental in raising awareness of Luminary Women and supporting the charity's next phase of growth.

We are looking for a creative and driven individual whose focus will be on development of our digital communications, primarily across Instagram, LinkedIn and our website.

Why join us?

Opportunity to work directly with the charity’s CEO, alongside the Programme teams and Head of Fundraising.

As this is a newly created role it gives you the potential to shape it and make a meaningful social impact to our work.

Luminary Women launched its new channels in March 2026 to coincide with International Women’s Day, making this a special time to join our charity.

You’d have a key role in raising awareness about our activities, including our workshops and events, helping grow our website and social media engagement.

In addition, you would also be involved in the gathering and preparing case studies, writing newsletters and helping with fundraising material. The role would suit an individual looking for a rewarding part-time position and an opportunity to support the future direction of the charity. The role will be two days a week from our Chalk Farm office (with flexibility).

This role is a unique opportunity to work at the heart of a small but established charity dedicated to supporting women to thrive. The selected candidate will bring fresh thinking and a commitment to contributing to our mission.

Overview of the role

Increase awareness of Luminary Women and its mission across social media platforms and our website.
Manage and develop Luminary Women’s social media channels, alongside developing and maintaining our website content in line with our communications strategy (including post creation, case studies, blog and newsletter writing and basic asset design).

Collaborate closely with the wider team to stay informed on programmes and activities, contributing to the growth of our referral programme.
Work closely with the Head of Fundraising to promote fundraising campaigns and activities, to increase income.
Support the creation of engaging visual content by capturing mobile photography and video across training sessions, events and ad hoc activities (e.g. workshops).
