Action West Chair Opportunity Jobs
The Mulberry Centre’s vision is to be known and respected by everyone living or working within reach of our services who may become affected by cancer. To help us achieve this, we are looking for an experienced and inspiring Marketing and Communications Lead to help raise the profile of The Mulberry Centre and the services we provide, to help recruit staff and volunteers, and to support fundraising and community engagement.
You will be able to promote the voice of the people who use our services in our communications, as well as help build our reputation as a charity of excellence for cancer support and a credible partner with external stakeholders. Working collaboratively across the team, you will develop, deliver and co-ordinate an integrated and effective marketing and communications plan. You will take the overall responsibility for external marketing and communication activities for The Mulberry Centre.
You will have an established track record of marketing and communications work, including digital and social media, and an ability to write and edit copy for different audiences. You will manage website updates, social media posts, e-newsletters and news releases, and have a proven ability to develop and execute an impactful marketing and communications plan. As a small charity, this post is very much “hands-on” and requires an ability to manage multiple projects and tasks at a time. You will be key to making sure that we are known by everyone living or working within reach of our services who may become affected by cancer.

SINCE 9/11 are seeking a dynamic and driven leader to manage the charity through its next phase of development.
The Charity Director will be responsible for managing the charity on a day to day basis throughout its next phase of development: developing and implementing the strategy for the organisation, building its capability to deliver this strategy through fundraising activities and putting in place a small team; driving awareness of the SINCE 9/11 Education Programme among key audiences and overseeing the financial administration of the charity, in line with the goals set out by the charity trustees.
CHARITY DIRECTOR ROLE OVERVIEW
This is an important and exciting time for the charity. More than 20 years after the horrific events of 9/11, with our acclaimed SINCE 9/11 education programmes for schools (developed by the world no.1 UCL Institute of Education) and our strategy and vision for the future both now in place, we want to drive the charity even further forward.
Our work remains as important as ever, teaching young people across the UK – who weren’t even born in September 2001 – about the events, causes and consequences of 9/11 and subsequent terrorist atrocities.
In a world where extremism and terrorism pose a huge risk, both to life and to the pluralist ideals of democratic societies, SINCE 9/11 seeks to lead the way in educating young people and steering society towards a more peaceful and tolerant future. In order to do so, we are now seeking a talented, driven and engaging leader who can take our charity to the next level. We believe that we have a high-quality programme to take into schools and other settings working with young people; our challenge now is to ensure that our programme reaches as many schools as possible.
We therefore need a leader who is confident and creative in building relationships with schools, academy trusts, local authorities, subject associations and teaching unions; someone who is familiar with the national education environment. Supported by a high-profile and committed board, our new director will be tasked with putting all of their energy into building those relationships and ensuring that we have a step change in the number of young people accessing our programme.
We believe that doing so will bring us long term financial sustainability and thus the ability to grow and develop our programmes further. In the tough operating environment, with schools currently facing many challenges of their own, we know this will be no easy task. The Board will be ready and willing to support you in any way that we can, as we recognise that appointing a dynamic, committed director is crucial to a continuing successful future for SINCE 9/11.
