Call Specialist Jobs
The Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA) is the national charity for people affected by cleft lip and palate in the United Kingdom.
CLAPA supports people affected by cleft to take control of their journey, connect with others, and use their voices to impact the future of care. Our vision is that no one affected by cleft lip and palate in the United Kingdom will go through their journey alone.
We are looking for a Content Coordinator to join our small but dynamic communications team.
As CLAPA’s Content Coordinator, you’ll be responsible for publishing a steady stream of stories, blogs and other engaging content on our website and other platforms.
The UK cleft community is full of fantastic stories waiting to be told, and you’ll be there to sensitively support people of all backgrounds to share these stories with your insightful questions and top-notch editing abilities. You’ll be comfortable talking to everyone from school-age children to NHS cleft surgeons to get the kind of content that will inspire and engage our community.
You’ll be our go-to writer when a new resource needs to be drafted or edited, and you’ll enjoy the challenge of adapting your writing to different briefs and communicating complex ideas to people of all ages and abilities. This is a brand new role to meet rising demand within the team, so you will have a real opportunity to make the role ‘yours’. You’ll have the freedom to try new things, share ideas, learn from feedback, and work with others to solve problems. While you’re expected to be proactive in fulfilling key tasks, you’ll be fully trained and supported in every aspect of your work by the Head of Impact.
Our ideal candidate is a creative and confident writer who shares our values and our staff team’s dedication to supporting the UK cleft community.
Our outgoing Communications Officer in March 2024 had this to say about their role:
“CLAPA is hugely encouraging to new ideas and brings out the best of your strengths whilst providing the support to develop and grow. I have never worked for such a friendly, caring, hardworking team that is incredibly proud to deliver our services to the cleft community. […] Do not hesitate to apply if you want to feel part of a positive and supportive charity filled with dedicated and talented colleagues!”

About Us
The Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) VCSE Alliance launched in January 2024. It aims to influence and facilitate greater collaboration between the regional health system (BNSSG Integrated Care System) and the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE). It seeks to do this by enhancing the role of the VCSE sector in the delivery and transformation of wellbeing and health, and cementing our sector’s role as a key strategic partner in the planning, design and delivery of health and care, in its widest possible definition.
The co-design of a new ‘VCSE Brokerage Framework’ with colleagues from the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and System (ICS) is a key priority for the VCSE Alliance in 2024-25. The aim of the Brokerage Framework is to provide a clear, fair, inclusive and proportionate way for health and social care system partners to reach a diverse range of VCSE organisations. The intention is that will be a new process by which grants and opportunities can be distributed to the sector.
This is a really exciting time to join the Alliance and support the delivery of a new innovative process which has the potential to be transformative for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
The Role:
The VCSE Brokerage Administrator's role is to support the further development, piloting, and preparation for launch of the VCSE Brokerage Framework.
