Community and events partnership manager jobs

Looking to use your career to stand up for human rights?

Join a bold human rights team taking on China’s occupation of Tibet, and help power the resistance through fundraising. We’re hiring a Fundraising Officer/Senior Officer to grow our movement and amplify Tibetan voices worldwide.

About the Role:

We’re up against a global superpower. Here, your fundraising fights back.

At Free Tibet and Tibet Watch, we are small but tireless: up against one of the world’s most powerful regimes, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). We’ve adapted rapidly to an unpredictable fundraising landscape, and we’re looking for someone equally bold, creative and committed to help us grow. You may be early in your fundraising journey or already have experience generating income from individual giving or trusts and foundations. Either way, if you want to build your skills while contributing to urgent and meaningful human rights work, we want to hear from you. Depending on your experience, we will appoint at Fundraising Officer or Senior Fundraising Officer level.

About Free Tibet and Tibet Watch:

We stand with Tibetans: for their homeland, their identity, their future, and against China’s brutal occupation.

Behind closed borders, injustice thrives. We break them open with facts and campaigns. Tibet Watch exposes the truth from inside occupied Tibet through evidence and world-leading research. Free Tibet turns that truth into action, with hard-hitting campaigns and relentless advocacy that make the world pay attention. Together, we’re building a global movement that’s impossible to ignore. Tibet can be free. It must be free. And one day, it will be.

A note of working in a small charity

Bramber Bakehouse is a small charity with a big heart. Like many grassroots organisations, we are still building systems and processes as we grow, learn and adapt. This means we are looking for someone who thrives in a flexible, evolving environment.

You’ll need to be comfortable wearing many hats, contributing to collaborative thinking and stepping in to support others when needed. If you enjoy a mixture of autonomy, teamwork and being part of a hands-on, learning-focused culture, we’d love to work with you.

The Campaigns and Communications Lead will play a key role in the Campaign for Hope strand of the project, as well as supporting other project strands. You’ll be central in helping us work out how we tell the story of this project to different audiences, and how we bring different voices into the project to help us engage deeply with what that story really is as the project evolves. You’ll be comfortable sitting in community spaces, working alongside local people, and talking to system influencers.

You’ll ensure we have effective and impactful communication across the project, working closely with our expert Communications and Influencing teams. This will include supporting communications across our partnership, as well as external-facing communications. You’ll bring experience of creating impactful communication in different formats for different audiences, and of developing campaigns.

You’ll manage staff (from Year 2) and work with them to build campaigning capacity within local community pilots, and across the professional networks, including making sure that learning is gathered, disseminated and activated across the project. You’ll build connections with influencers, including making sure the project engages with evolving policy in Wales, Scotland and England. You’ll also share your experience and expertise to help develop our wider work at Platfform.

We work with people experiencing challenges with their mental health, and with communities who want to create a greater sense of wellbeing in the places that they live. Through our projects, we work with thousands of people each year.

We believe that long-lasting wellbeing comes about by understanding how lives can be shaped by traumatic experiences, identifying people’s strengths and focussing on healing. We know we can’t ‘fix’ people, but we can walk alongside people and help where we can on their journey.

We try hard to make Platfform a great place to work, we live our values and mission in everything that we do.

Platfform is the charity for mental health and social change. We’re a supportive team where you can be your whole selves, and know that you’re playing a genuine part in building a happier future for people across the UK.
