Do you have the ambition to join an organisation with a remit to change the world, challenge yourself, and to make a real and positive difference to people’s lives?
This is not a normal role. We are looking for a confident, self-motivated problem solver who enjoys working with a huge range of people. You will be part of a small external engagement team, which is part of a wider, high performing marketing, communications and fund-raising team.
The engagement team has four key goals:
- Build our profile so our values and opinions are heard by more people more often
- Support our fundraising efforts to help us generate income to fund our work
- Create and manage relationships with key stakeholders engaged in and supporting our work
- Protect our reputation by providing crisis management support and ensuring consistent messages are heard by external audiences.
We have grown our reach both on and offline in recent years, and you will be rolling out a new PR strategy to enable the organisation to make real, lasting change for good through extending our network across the world.
The communication officer will play a key role in helping us achieve that ambition in a number of ways:
- By building on existing partnerships with key stakeholders and donors
- By unlocking new opportunities with donors, thought leaders and stakeholders
- By developing and managing excellent external events, both online and offline.
- By producing highly engaging content for use on digital channels.
You will have responsibility for developing and managing relationships with fundraising teams in the UK and communications teams in partner and donor organisations.
You will help develop communications plans for key international development projects and will also be responsible for overseeing content from these projects for our social channels by working closely with our international communications teams.
You will also be responsible for identifying, driving and leading high profile organisational events, such as our presence at bluedot Festival and New Scientist Live.
The role will also include supporting other areas of the communications team with excellent social and digital content, and through an ability to respond to media enquiries.
About you
This role offers an amazing opportunity to be part of a highly committed team dedicated to demonstrating that with the right approach and ingenuity, it is possible to create a better world for people and the planet. It can be highly demanding and requires flexibility and tenacity. If you like certainty and a normal 9-5 day, it probably isn’t for you.
A key focus of the role will be excellent relationship building and management, both with external partners and with many internal teams in the UK and around the world.
You will therefore be confident and enjoy working with a range of different people from a huge variety of backgrounds and in a variety of different ways.Critical to the success of the role will be the ability to prioritise multiple projects and demands and to be able to communicate sometimes complex material and ideas in an accessible way.
You will understand what motivates others and have a desire to solve problems and to lead, when required. However, we work in some of the world’s toughest places to live so you will also have the ability to be flexible when plans unexpectedly change or need a quick solution!
Experience or interest in the private sector, of international issues and current affairs and some experience in or with the media would be desirable. Experience of working in an external communications role is essential.

With significant support already pledged in our major gifts programme, the charity is now prioritising sustainable income growth in order to accelerate its impact and expansion.
We are recruiting an exceptional and experienced fundraising manager to work closely with the external relations director, our Senior Leadership team including the chief executive and the Board of Trustees to lead and manage the growth of Frontline’s fundraising programme, which has a current annual target of up to £2 million.

The challenge
Vision impairment or blindness affects over 2.2 billion people globally, and at least 1 billion people have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. 89% of visually impaired children and adults live in poor countries. Sight loss is not purely a health issue, it directly affects an individual’s ability to access employment, causes social isolation and family breakdown, and is a significant factor in worsening poverty.
The British Council for Prevention of Blindness (BCPB) funds innovative and pioneering research projects, and part-funds training of eye care professionals from the world’s poorest countries. We focus almost entirely on supporting the few, who will transfer their knowledge and skills in blindness prevention to health care workers and influence governments who are then in the position to pass on the benefits to the many – the so-called ‘cascade effect’. Our approach helps ensure that our interventions are sustainable and learning is shared widely to achieve the greatest impact.
BCPB is a very small charity making a huge impact on people’s lives. We employ a part-time Charity Manager and a part-time Fundraising Manager, and are now looking for someone dynamic to help us sustain our current work while our Fundraising Manager is on maternity leave.
Summary of Role
We are searching for a results driven person with at least three years fundraising experience and a strong track record, who is a confident communicator, proactive, flexible, comfortable working independently, and can hit the ground running. You will manage relationships with our existing trust and foundation donors, and research new potential trust and foundation supporters, develop and build new relationships with corporate funding partners, identify challenge events and promote them, research and identify new major donors, identify ways to develop legacy income, and maintain and develop our website and social media. This role is 21 hours per week. You will be home based during Covid-19 with some work in due course at BCPB's office based in Bloomsbury, London WC1.
