Working with us:

We are an inclusive employer looking for people who can demonstrate dedication to our cause and values.
We celebrate all aspects of diversity and inclusion and believe in appointing the right person for the role and, that there should be no barriers to work and employment. We are aiming to be an organisation whose workforce broadly reflects our society and creates a positive environment for everyone to flourish, therefore we particularly welcome applications from candidates who consider themselves to be in a diverse minority.

We offer a dynamic, high-performing, and supportive place to work with friendly and welcoming staff who are really focussed on moving our cause forward and report a high level of job satisfaction. We are a growing and changing organisation and this brings the opportunity for our people to grow with us and to contribute and influence who we are in the future. We only have one office which is based in London on the river with spectacular views towards Westminster (SE1), and, we feel that for the size and type of organisation that we are, it is highly beneficial that our people come into the office at times, as this works great for creating positive energies, collaboration between different teams and supports our culture of impactful and responsive working. We believe having different ways of connecting, interacting, and working is good for everybody and better for us as an organisation. We don’t feel that it is necessary for everyone to be in the office all the time and so we envisage that this role will be a blend of working from home and working in the office under a hybrid working model, and we are happy to consider flexible working options.

About our recruitment process:

We are a small but growing charity, and like every other organisation, we are aware that the recruitment market is competitive and that great candidates do not stay on the market for long and in some cases, the resource is scarce. Every vacancy is a gap for us in which we do not have the correct level of resources to help us combat our fight against Pancreatic Cancer and make a difference in increasing survival rates and supporting those impacted.
We also know that candidates want us to come back to them quickly, so we may do rolling interviews as part of our adaptive recruitment process. We do not want anyone to feel excluded by this approach and we will do our best to accommodate a suitable time for your interview that works for you and our hiring managers. If you have a question about the role/ process just get in touch with us! We are happy to chat this through!

• Salary: £37,183 per annum, inclusive of London Weighting. We are happy to consider home-based candidates in the UK with visits to the London Office expected. The non-London weighting salary for a home-based worker is £33,758.25 per annum.

The Big Issue mission is to dismantle poverty by creating opportunity through self-help, social trading and business solutions - a "hand up, not a hand out" We provide an "access to all" means for people to earn a legitimate source of income, to raise their self-esteem and to take control of their lives. One of the ways we do this is through supporting vendors to sell The Big Issue magazine.

Our vendors are traders, retailers on the High Street. Since The Big Issue was launched in 1991 and its Foundation in 1995, we've supported hundreds of thousands of people to work their way out of poverty. Over the past two decades the magazine has become synonymous with challenging, independent journalism. It currently circulates around 100,000 copies every week.

Vendors are allocated a pitch and issued with five free copies of the magazine to get them started. From that point, vendors invest in additional magazines at £1.50 and sell them on at £3.00 retaining the profit. Last year alone, we put more than £5million in the pockets of our vendors, releasing them from a dependence on hand-outs, building confidence, gaining respect, and providing a connection and in some cases a lifeline to their communities.

The Big Issue Foundation supports Vendors (and increasingly others) with "wrap around support`" - (health, housing, debt, addiction, mental health and employability). We do this by connecting vendors with the vital support services, personal solutions, Big Issue programmes and employment pathways that enable them to rebuild their lives and determine their own routes to a better and more sustainable future. And this is where you come in…

This is an exciting and key role within The Big Issue Foundation (Big Issue Group’s charitable arm) responsible mainly for driving donor acquisitions through our website, social media channels – currently Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn – and our supporter emails (via Hubspot).

In addition, you will work with the fundraising teams to devise and deliver their digital marketing recruitment plans to grow our base of individual donors and fundraisers while ensuring positive return on investment. You will also work in close collaboration with the Group Marketing and Editorial teams to ensure best practice in all areas.

The ideal candidate will not only bring the skills and experience to the role but will also be a self-starter, natural organizer, and excellent team player. You can work effectively to tight deadlines, stay calm under pressure and bring a positive, energetic, can-do attitude. You will need to be comfortable navigating shifting priorities and requirements as campaigns/marketing/product priorities etc. can change quickly!

Finally, you will be super motivated about the capacity for digital engagement to influence and bring about behaviour change while having a passion for data-driven marketing and analyses.
