CHIPS

We’re CHIPS – Christian peacemakers.  For over 50 years, we've been working with communities around the world to help them build sustainable futures free from violence and division.

Inspired by the life of Jesus, we seek to practice collaborative and practical peacemaking.  Our work is rooted in Christian teaching and guided by four core principles; we go where we are invited, we live at the heart of conflict, we stay for the long term and, as our strap-line says, we take sides. Both sides.

In a world of conflict and division, we have an ambitious vision to expand our peacemaking work and increase our influence both in the UK and internationally. We are planning further peacemaking projects and to share with others the skills and experience we have gained over the last 50 years. 

We are a small, friendly team, deeply committed to our work and the cause of peace and are recruiting a Marketing and Communications Manager to help develop and implement the communications and marketing plans that will drive and support our expansion.

The role

You will help us to communicate clearly and confidently how CHIPS is bringing sustainable peace to communities, using compelling communications and storytelling across different channels to inspire individuals, churches and partner organisations to engage with our vision and our work, and to support us prayerfully and financially.

In this key role, Marketing and Communications Manager will work closely with our Director and our peacemaking teams on the ground to manage and develop an engaging programme of communications and marketing activities.   

he role offers flexibility, with a mix of home and office working and flexible working hours to be agreed with the role-holder, equivalent to 2-3 days, or 14-21 hours per week.

Who we are looking for

This role suits someone who is already or wants to be an all-rounder, either with experience of using the full marketing communications mix, or a solid foundation of managing key channels and a strong interest in building your experience in others.

• We are seeking a creative, highly-motivated and flexible communicator who also has the technical skills (or motivation to learn them) to produce engaging and compelling content across a wide range of channels.

• You will be a strong writer, able to capture themes and stories and make them appeal to the widest possible range of supporters through the use of a broad range of formats. You will also have a good working knowledge of digital marketing, understanding how to use social media and other digital channels to reach a wide audience and build engagement and support.

• You will have the credibility that allows you to collaborate well with a wide variety of stakeholders, which in our case includes everyone from busy youth workers on the ground to senior-level trustees and representatives from local churches. This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking a role where they can use their skills and experience in a setting where they can influence an organisation’s broader development.

• You will thrive working in a Christian environment where we pray regularly and study and reflect on the theological foundations to our peacemaking.  You will have respect for our Christian values and ethos and be in sympathy with our organisational aims, with an  understanding of the UK church and charity landscape.

There is a genuine occupational requirement for this role to be filled by a Christian.

We are a small and team-oriented organisation where everyone pitches in to help get things done and you would gain satisfaction from seeing a charity increase significantly its engagement, support and impact.

We particularly welcome applications from the South London and Black & minority ethnic communities as these are currently under-represented within our central office team.

Bipolar Scotland is the Scottish national charity for people living with bipolar. It is estimated that between 100,000 – 150,000 people in Scotland live with bipolar, though not all have been diagnosed. Bipolar is a mental illness characterised by significant mood swings, including manic highs and depressive lows, and most individuals with bipolar disorder experience alternating episodes of mania and depression.

For almost 30 years, Bipolar Scotland has developed extensive experience of minimising the impact of bipolar through a range of services and support including self-help groups and self-management training. The organisation is peer-led by those with lived experience, carers and supporters and they recognise that while the illness can be managed through a blend of medication, psychological therapies and self-management – everyone must find the balance of treatments and therapies that works for them.

From the 100,000 – 150,000 people living with bipolar in Scotland, the charity currently has 400 members and in 2020 supported over 2,500 unique individuals. This has had a significant impact as people realise, they are not alone. However, these numbers show that there is a significant number of individuals not receiving support that would undoubtedly improve their quality of life.

Bipolar Scotland is now on the cusp of launching “A Time to Move Forward” – their new strategic plan that will support their members through the initial post-pandemic period but also allow the organisation to build and grow and to expand the scope and range of its work over the next 5-years. They want their successful charity to do more and do it better. The strategy aims to empower and support, influence and campaign, and grow and improve Bipolar Scotland in support of those living with bipolar disorder.

Alongside implementing a new 5-year strategic plan, Bipolar Scotland celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2022. It is an exciting time for a communications professional to join and spearhead the charity’s communications strategy and lead on exciting engagement projects.

The Communications Manager will be responsible for leading, managing and coordinating a communications strategy and associated activity for Bipolar Scotland. This will support and enhance the delivery of the charity’s new 5-year strategic plan to ensure a good life for everyone in Scotland who lives with bipolar by inspiring members to improve their quality of life and increase public awareness of bipolar. Your work will be central in growing engagement with new members and raising public awareness.

To be considered for the role of Communications Manager at Bipolar Scotland, you must have experience working in a multi-function communications role and have had managerial responsibility. You will demonstrate experience and ability in devising, implementing and managing a communications strategy. Website management and experience working on complex projects or campaigns with multiple stakeholders are required. A track record of project planning and working to deadlines will support your application. You must be confident and experienced in handling media enquiries and writing and pitching press releases. Bipolar Scotland needs someone who has excellent copywriting skills and strong verbal communication.
