About The Role

C54,000 people volunteered for the Poppy Appeal last year. It’s the largest UK charity appeal (over £51 million), and a treasured moment in society each November where people are given the opportunity to remember.

You’ll bring a strategic mindset with hands on experience of volunteer, donor or supporter engagement ideally at scale. You’ll be confident using digital platforms and mass email tools to deliver campaigns that inform, thank and inspire, and know how to use insight to shape messaging and improve the volunteer experience. If you’ve worked on acquisition campaigns, developed retention strategies or led culture change around volunteer involvement we want to hear from you.

At the Royal British Legion, we know the importance of flexibility, so we offer options like our 9-day fortnight while also considering other flexible working arrangements to suit your needs. We want you to feel supported in balancing work with life’s other joys!

Dr Jenner’s House, The Chantry, is a site of profound global historical significance, recognized as the birthplace of vaccination. It was here that Edward Jenner, a country doctor and enlightenment figure, conducted his groundbreaking work in the 1790s, leading to the world's first vaccine and a medical breakthrough that forever changed humanity.

The Jenner Trust, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (registered charity number 1158316), is dedicated to preserving this unique heritage. We operate the museum, provide educational facilities exploring the history and impact of vaccination, and manage a one-acre site encompassing two Grade II* listed structures (The Chantry and Temple of Vaccinia), along with the Cyder House, which serves as our offices and conference centre. We welcome over 4,000 visitors annually and host a variety of school visits, events, and conferences. We are a small team of staff supported by a passionate volunteer team who care for the site and welcome our guests.

• Ensure grant-funded projects are appropriately managed, and all requisite monitoring and evaluation reports are submitted to funding bodies on time.

Communications & Engagement:

• Produce engaging copy and content for newsletters and assist with external communications, including social media, press releases, and other PR and marketing opportunities, to promote fundraising initiatives.
• Organise and manage fundraising and donor cultivation events, ranging from low-level individual giving activities to major high-level events, especially plans for the 50th anniversary of the eradication of smallpox in 2030.

With such a small staff team we are looking for a candidate who is able to work collaboratively and to support other staff and Trustees in securing the future for the Trust.

About Climate Catalyst

‎ 

Climate Catalyst is a U.S. based non-profit dedicated to galvanizing the collective power of business, investors, and civil society to influence and accelerate policy change in Asia and Europe. We work to strengthen collaboration and mobilise new actors on pivotal climate challenges to build power and compel political leaders to act at the speed and scale needed to tackle the climate crisis. We do this by: 

• Working behind the scenes with stakeholders in Europe and Asia to identify critical climate issues where action to date has been limited and collaboration potential is high. 

• Bringing together renowned experts and new entrants to share ideas, and design and deliver creative campaigns that secure decisive changes in national and regional policy to deliver sectoral tipping points and secure significant emissions reductions. 

• Advising on strategy, bringing creative communications, advocacy and movement building expertise to build power across the climate community to catalyse action. 

We’ve used this model successfully to mobilise the business community in support of the EU Nature Restoration Law, the first legislation for peatlands protection across Europe, and spark action in India that led to commitment from the Ministry of Steel to develop green steel policy. 

Climate Catalyst is taking on a new project with the Clean Air Fund to apply our movement building and knowledge sharing expertise from Asia and Europe to an initiative designed to support cities and civil society organisations around the world to campaign for clean air.

You will develop a knowledge sharing approach, movement building infrastructure, and tools to support sustained engagement.

• Deliver facilitation support for 2 in-person and additional virtual civil society convenings. 

• Co-design a movement building training package, including a guide for future use with guidance on shared strategy, collaboration structures, mapping additional civil society organisations, and communication mechanisms.

• Produce 3 learning products related to themes that emerge from the needs assessment, providing organisations with suggested tactics and effective projects by their peers.
