Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

This is an exciting time to join Citizens Advice as we design a new strategy to take us beyond 2023. You’d be joining a high-performing and forward-looking communications and engagement department working across teams to engage our network of local Citizens Advice. 

We’re looking for a great all rounder with demonstrable experience in designing and delivering strategic communications and engagement activities. You’ll be used to advising senior stakeholders and producing engaging content for multiple audiences across different channels, including events. Measuring impact should be embedded in your approach and you’ll take pride in sharing learning from both successes and things that don’t work out. 

You’d be joining a department which is open to trying new things and that doubles up as a great peer support group. We’re also members of CharityComms which gives us access to a range of professional development opportunities.

In our team we spend most of our time working from home - when we do come together in an office it’s for things that we’ve agreed are best done in person, like away-days. If you’d like to work from an office more often you can do that too at one of our national offices in London, Birmingham, Leeds and Cardiff. 

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from LGB and Trans and non binary candidates.

We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in role profiles.

Our commitment to flexible working extends to where we work. As Covid restrictions ease, Citizens Advice are moving towards a permanent mix of office and home based working which will give much more choice to staff, while still maintaining the best of collaborative working.

The National Citizens Advice Operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales. 

Please be aware that Citizens Advice is not a sponsoring organisation. Therefore the successful applicant must already possess the right to work in the UK or be able to secure the right to work in the UK independently.

Citizens Advice seeks to redeploy staff who are at risk or under notice of redundancy where they satisfactorily demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the role at interview.  Candidates who are formally at risk or under notice of redundancy will take priority over other candidates for interview.  If you have been confirmed as at risk or under notice of redundancy please ensure you indicate this in the at-risk box in your application.

In the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early.

Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF) is the corporate foundation of Thomson Reuters, the global news and information services company.

Since 2018 the Foundation has been working to combat the worst forms of child labour in three African countries – Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Ethiopia – as part of the Partnership Against Child Exploitation (PACE) – a six member consortium led by World Vision UK and including War Child UK, Columbia University, the UN Global Compact Network and Fifty Eight, with support from the UK government’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The four-year initiative leverages cross-sector partnerships between NGOs, law enforcement and global corporations, while building children’s agencies to advocate for their rights.

PACE has sought to generate evidence and learning for what does and does not work in reducing and preventing the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) in fragile contexts, across four outcome areas:

1. Girls and boys exercise their agency and understand their rights not to be exploited, affirmed by positive social norms, supportive families and communities.
2. Girls and boys and their households have access to safe, age, gender and disability appropriate alternatives (economic and non-economic) to the WFCL.
3. A stronger legal & policy environment supports the prevention & reduction of WFCL.
4. Private sector strengthen their value chain to reduce and prevent the WFCL.

TRF and PACE Consortium partners are seeking the services of a highly qualified consultant or team of consultants to research and draft a Learning Synthesis Paper to serve as the principal vehicle for disseminating the evidence and learning generated through the programme. The content of the paper will be drawn from the wide ranging library of resources produced by PACE partners across the duration of the programme. It will be presented in an accessible way with a view to maximising engagement with and adoption of its recommendations among key target audiences. Support with the dissemination of the Learning Paper through a targeted virtual event is also envisaged as a deliverable within this terms of reference.

Specific Objectives:

This terms of reference comprises four key objectives:

1. To draw together the existing learning and evidence generated through the PACE programme for what works and what doesn’t work in reducing and preventing the worst forms of child labour in fragile states
2. To reflect on Consortium partners’ experience of delivering the programme in fragile contexts to inform the delivery of similar future initiatives
3. To present PACE learning and evidence in user-friendly format that maximises engagement from PACE target audiences (Synthesis Paper)
4. To disseminate PACE learning and evidence in a way that engages key target audiences and making use of existing PACE communications assets.

Anticipated scope of work:

The scope of work is anticipated to involve a desk review of PACE reference materials and consultations with consortium partners to inform the development of the paper, drawing out key findings and recommendations relevant for future child labour policy and programming.

The final synthesis paper should be presented in an accessible way to maximise engagement from PACE target audiences. The consultant will lead a virtual learning event to share the findings and recommendations.

The full scope of work and expected deliverables may be found in the accompanying Terms of Reference.

Qualifications and Experience:

The successful applicant will have a proven track record of distilling complex information into accessible communication outputs, with experience delivering similar learning and synthesis work. They will have excellent analysis, writing and presentation skills and experience using a range of communication styles to engage a diverse range of audiences.

Experience of international development or humanitarian policy and practice, and knowledge of child labour or child protection programming in fragile or conflict-affected states is an advantage, although not essential.

Application procedure:

For details of how to apply for this opportunity, please see the accompanying Terms of Reference. Applications should be sent to the email address provided no later than 23:59 GMT on Monday 25th July 2022.

The Head of Network Engagement is a pivotal role in the organisation, providing strategic engagement, advice and support to colleagues across the Citizens Advice ecosystem.

We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from LGB and Trans and non binary candidates.

We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in role profiles.

Our commitment to flexible working extends to where we work. As Covid restrictions ease, Citizens Advice are moving towards a permanent mix of office and home based working which will give much more choice to staff, while still maintaining the best of collaborative working.

The National Citizens Advice Operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales. 

Please be aware that Citizens Advice is not a sponsoring organisation. Therefore the successful applicant must already possess the right to work in the UK or be able to secure the right to work in the UK independently.

Citizens Advice seeks to redeploy staff who are at risk or under notice of redundancy where they satisfactorily demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the role at interview.  Candidates who are formally at risk or under notice of redundancy will take priority over other internal candidates for interview.  If you have been confirmed as at risk or under notice of redundancy please ensure you indicate this in the at-risk box in your application.

In the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early. 

This vacancy closes at 23.59 on the closing date. 

The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) is a membership organisation and the professional voice of the UK Fire and Rescue service.

Following the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, NFCC has engaged closely with Government and other key stakeholders on improvements to building safety regulations. Our Protection Policy and Reform Unit (PPRU) provides the link between fire and rescue services and Government by representing the collective views and expert technical advice of fire and rescue services.

Within the PPRU, the Policy and Partnerships team leads on policy and communications on fire protection and building safety matters. We work closely with technical fire safety and subject matter experts across the PPRU. 

What you will be doing 

You will support the Communications Manager in delivering a programme of effective and meaningful communications on fire protection and building safety matters, in line with the PPRU Communications Strategy.

Your role will focus on: 

• Planning, sourcing content, writing, editing, and issuing the fortnightly communications newsletter, and contributing to other NFCC newsletters.

• Proactively monitoring external media, social media, political and stakeholder developments, and sharing relevant updates and summaries with the team.

• Planning and delivering webinars and face-to-face workshops, forums, roundtables, and other engagement activities.

• Providing communications support on key projects and workstreams, e.g. drafting website copy, press releases, social media posts, and external letters.

• Helping to develop and maintain key communications and stakeholder tools and trackers.

Who are we looking for?  

We’re looking for a creative communications and engagement professional with a flair for writing and a keen eye for detail.

Our work involves communicating technical and regulatory information to a wide range of audiences, so you should have the ability to translate complex information into accessible plain English.

You will be an effective organiser, with great planning skills and some experience in organising events.

You’ll be digitally savvy, with experience in social media, writing online content, and in using newsletter software (or other web-based marketing automation service). Some experience in using desktop publishing and/or video editing is also desirable.

Our work is fast paced, so you’ll be accustomed to working to tight deadlines driven by political and media developments. You’ll be effective at managing and prioritising your own workload. 

You’ll have some political awareness and understanding of how Parliament works, which will be key for monitoring media and political developments. 

We work closely as a team, and with colleagues across the NFCC, so you will be collaborative in your approach. 

What you can expect from us 

We’re a people-centred organisation, focussed on creating a positive and engaging working environment for all our team members.

Wellbeing, reward, recognition and personal development are not just words we talk about, we put them into action daily.
