About Toynbee Hall

Based in the East End of London since 1884, Toynbee Hall is a charity working alongside people facing poverty, injustice, and inequality to build a fairer East London. We provide vital advice and support, working in partnership to tackle unfairness and ensure everyone has an equal chance to thrive.

We have recently launched a new strategic plan which reinforces that our purpose is to build a fairer future with an end to poverty, injustice and inequality.

We work towards this by:

• Addressing poverty and injustice through advice and support and influencing systemic change.
• Shifting power to people and communities affected by injustice and inequality.
• Collaborating to end poverty and build fairer systems and institutions. What we want to see in the world starts with our community and our organisation.

This means:

• Being a good employer, where people are treated fairly, feel engaged and empowered, and work together to achieve our shared vision.
• Acknowledging the role Toynbee Hall has historically played in civic society while recognising that our role now is to shift power, to be an effective partner, and to amplify voices that are less likely to be heard.

What we learn from our work in east London we use to inform and influence wider policy – working to influence change in structures, systems and policies.

We’re looking for a strategic and imaginative Senior Marketing Manager to lead national brand awareness campaigns that spark public interest and grow support for our vital work.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small but ambitious charity at a pivotal time, helping us build national visibility and grow our supporter base through bold, insight-led brand storytelling.

Reporting to the Head of Communications and working in conjunction with our Director of Fundraising, you’ll spearhead the development and delivery of high-impact, multi-channel campaigns across TV, print, digital, and Out of Home advertising. You’ll have the creative freedom to bring your vision to life — and the platform to shape how our brand connects with people across the UK.

With a significant budget and scope to innovate, this role offers the chance for you to make your mark, by developing creative ideas and emotionally engaging narratives that inspire people to engage with our work.

We would like to hear from you if you can demonstrate:

We understand the importance of offering our staff flexibility, we can therefore offer part time hours from 0.8 FTE. Alternatively, we can offer compressed hours to suit your personal circumstances.

We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, so you will be based at our central London office for a minimum of three days a week (usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) with the option to work remotely for the remainder.

At the Medical Research Foundation, we believe that diversity drives creativity and innovation. We are dedicated to promoting equality of opportunity, fostering fairness and inclusion, and creating an environment where everyone feels that they belong.
