About Us

Young Epilepsy is the children and young people’s epilepsy charity. Our purpose is to create a society in which children and young people with epilepsy are enabled to thrive and fulfil their potential, in which their voices are respected, and their ambitions realised.

We work with children and young people across the country, as well as many of those people and organisations who shape their lives - parents, health and care professionals, researchers, teachers, policymakers and more.

Informed by young people and drawing on our strong legacy of expertise in education, health and research, we have developed and published our new 2020-2025 strategy. This focuses our work around 4 offers; Learning, Health, Research and Information, with firm foundations in our three value statements:

• Young people are at the centre of everything we do
• We work together to make a greater difference
• We are courageous and ambitious for change

These values will ensure that we always put the voices, the rights and the best interests of children and young people first and commit us to working in partnerships that can increase our impact. They also ensure that we are inspired by the courage and ambition of the young people with whom we work, knowing that together, we can drive the change in society and services we all want to see.

Job Advertisement Title: Development Communications Coordinator

Salary:  £33,376 - £37,682 per annum

Location: Home-based to start, moving to mixed-mode working when restrictions allow

Job Summary

Do you have a gift with words and a track record of delivering high quality communications? Can your storytelling skills help inspire philanthropists to make a donation in support of research and education initiatives with the potential to change the world?

We are looking for an exceptional Development Communications Coordinator to deliver communications and copywriting to support ambitious fundraising goals.

This is a new role which is fixed for one year to provide additional support at a busy and exciting time for the Advancement Division at Imperial College London.

About us

The Advancement Division is responsible for securing support for the College by building strong relationships with alumni and friends. The Supporter Engagement Team comprises three strands of work; Development Events, Development Communications and Donor Relations. The post sits within Development Communications.

Duties and responsibilities

You will work across the university and take on a wide range of communication tasks – spanning both printed and digital. These will include writing fundraising proposals; contributing to promotional materials for fundraising priorities; writing case studies to illustrate the impact of philanthropy at Imperial; and creating new digital content (web copy, video content) for fundraising and donor stewardship purposes.

Working in a team of three, you’ll use your creativity and storytelling skills to craft communications that support frontline fundraisers in connecting with prospective donors and inspiring them to make a gift to Imperial.

It goes without saying that you’ll need strong writing skills and the ability to produce accurate and engaging copy to tight deadlines. Much of your day to day will be spent on desk research and copywriting, but you’ll also need to be someone who’s comfortable in reaching out to colleagues across the university to get the information you need. That could mean calling a donor for a quote, interviewing an academic on technical aspects of their work, or quizzing fundraisers about their donor’s interests.

You will need to be methodical and structured in your thinking, and able to take and work to a tight brief. But we’re also looking for someone who can bring creative flair to the role: curiosity, playfulness, and an eye for a good story are important too.

Essential requirements

You will have experience of delivering high quality communications and writing copy to an agreed brief. You will be able to prioritise and work under pressure, producing excellent work to tight deadlines. You will know how to structure complex information to make it engaging for readers and will be comfortable in carrying out desk research to provide additional context. The post-holder will be able to work with staff at all levels, including senior colleagues and College leaders. While able to work independently, you’ll enjoy being part of a team, and be able to give and receive critical feedback on draft copy/communications.

Further Information

This role is full-time and fixed-term for one year.

Closing date: 15/03/2021
