We are recruiting a Communications Officer.

Unifrog’s mission

We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counselors to manage the progression process effectively.

Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.

We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with more than a third of UK secondary schools and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer.

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!

We believe in the power of diversity. If you are from an ethnic minority background, we strongly encourage you to apply. In advance of applying if you have any questions about working at Unifrog, please contact our UK Diversity Champion, Samar (visit our website for details).

Design at Unifrog

Whether we are communicating through images, video or text, we always try to be straightforward, honest, and to show respect for the other person. We communicate like this with each other and with people outside of Unifrog.

Clear communication is particularly important for us because our mission is to level the playing field when it comes to access to opportunities, and a big part of this effort is fair and straightforward access to information. It’s also important for us to be fun, while not talking down to young people.

We have developed Unifrog’s strong visual identity without having an in-house graphic or motion designer, but we have now grown to the size where we need someone to take charge of a long list of planned design projects. These projects relate to many different tools within the Unifrog platform, as well as to marketing and sales – and we can’t wait for you to get stuck in.

The role

You’ll be working with non-designers on the team to deliver design projects. Here are examples of some design projects we’ve done in the past:

• Motion graphics for a short, partly animated video introducing Unifrog to teachers at our partner schools.
• Cartoon frogs to illustrate each of the 16 MBTI personality types (eg the ‘ESTJ – Wood frog: Loyal individuals who get things done and love organising activities with their friends’; check it out here)
• Posters for classroom teachers which illustrate the careers that people commonly progress to having studied particular subjects at university or on an apprenticeship;
• Fun scenes of Unifrog frogs doing everyday activities (eg water-skiing, attending a protest), which we use at the top of a newsletter that we send teachers at our partner schools;
• Infographics to illustrate the ‘Insight reports’ we publish on our website, showing how different sorts of students use the Unifrog platform;
• A flyer aimed at students in international schools for a webinar about going to university in Australia.

Working together

You’ll work in our existing content team, which consists of very talented content writers and video producers. When you’re delivering particular design projects, you’ll work with people on our marketing, data analysis and strategy teams.

You’ll be line-managed by the Senior Content Creator and Editor.

Skills and characteristics

• Graphic design

You need to be hugely talented at using software like Photoshop to create graphic designs within our existing visual identity that: communicate straightforwardly, are fun, and make lots of use of the Unifrog frog.

• Motion design

Experienced using software such as After Effects to design motion graphics for videos. You’ll create logo animations, text animations, video overlay elements and transitions for our video editors to use. Experience animating your own illustrations would be an extra bonus.

• Creativity

We want you to come up with great new ideas. You’ll often need to think of fun ways to visually express complicated messages or data.

• Attention to detail

You’ll need to be able to finish your work to an excellent standard before getting feedback from your colleagues.

• Ability to work both in a team and independently

You’ll always be working on projects with other people so you need to be an excellent communicator and team player. On all your projects there will also be times when you need to take initiative and motivate yourself. At least to start with you will be the only designer, so you need to be a strong voice in the team.

• Working to deadlines

We have a long list of projects to get done, and many of them have strict deadlines. You’ll need to be able to deliver things on time.

Key benefits

• Play a key role in democratising access to information that can positively impact young people’s lives, and get your work in front of 200,000+ people every week.
• Become part of a committed, dynamic and growing team. We want to build our team for the long term – if you do well, we will do our best to make sure you want to stay at the company for a long time.
• Professional development is important at Unifrog. You will define your 6-month objectives and will be supported by your line manager and the rest of the team to achieve them. You will have an annual training allowance to spend on what you need to grow and progress.
• Influence the company’s direction: we love to promote great ideas, wherever they come from.
• For details of further benefits we offer our staff, please see the jobs page of our website.

Events Operations Executive

Hope and Homes for Children is looking for an Events Operations Executive to join us and make families, never orphanages the new narrative. As the world recovers from the impact of Covid, there is increased risk of families experiencing the poverty, lack of support and desperation that drives children into orphanages. There is vital work to be done in ensuring this does not happen.

This is a deeply rewarding role and an exciting time to join us. We are raring to develop our Events portfolio, with plans to conceive and execute a variety of captivating high-quality live/virtual/hybrid events designed to inspire support for Hope and Homes for Children like never before.

Events Operations Executive Responsibilities:

You will play a key role at the core of our events, supporting the planning, execution and practical delivery of our events across our Marketing, Communications & Fundraising team. You will coordinate our events calendar, champion our event planning, processes and systems and help to keep everyone on track and on target. You will provide events logistics support, develop relationships with sponsors, partners and supporters and oversee third party suppliers. You will contribute to event evaluation and review and support our continued learning and improvement.

With strong IT skills, able to use applications and manipulate data and information for planning; analysis and reporting purposes, you’ll be a self-starter and a completer finisher.

About Hope and Homes for Children:

Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.

Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of sexual and physical abuse, as well as extreme neglect.

Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.

You will join a brave, ambitious organisation and do work that matters day in, day out. You will be encouraged to think and act big and you will be mandated and supported to make things happen. If you believe every child belongs in a family, join us as we consign orphanages to history.
