Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser with a background in securing income from charitable trusts and foundations to join our team. Groundswell has rapidly grown over the past few years; our #HealthNow campaign alongside the expansion of our Homeless Health Peer Advocate (HHPA) services and research consultancy across the country has grown our brand, networks and impact. Our turnover is just over £2million, bought in by a small but effective team generating income from a range of voluntary and statutory sources. Within Fundraising and Communications, we have a Director and a Communications Officer; yet colleagues across the organisation generate income from statutory sources and our social enterprises (research and training). We’re always working together to be as effective as possible.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join Groundswell – the value of taking a health approach to the homelessness crisis combined with our unique insight into the lived experience of homelessness is generating interest and opportunities. Nevertheless, we know that with the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, changes in commissioning and competition amongst charities who have had to change their fundraising approaches, means the future is unknown.

Working at Groundswell brings you a busy, positive, and enthusiastic environment which you’ll benefit from no matter where you are based. There is no shortage of dedicated staff and volunteers full of ideas on how to overcome homeless health inequalities and influence the sector to use the insight of lived experience to develop solutions to homelessness. You will be a crucial part of the team, working closely with the Senior Management Team, particularly the Fundraising and Communications Director to maintain relationships with our network of existing funders and grow Groundswell’s income. You will be experienced in trusts and foundations but enjoy variety in this role, for example engaging with corporate or individual supporters or assisting SMT with a statutory funding process. You will be a flexible worker with strong organisational, research and written communication skills. You will pride yourself in collaborative working to ensure the most successful chance of securing income, whilst being a self-starter who can manage their own workload effectively.

Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.

Reprieve’s main office is in London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

Reprieve is looking for a Digital & Campaigns Team Manager to join our fast‐moving and creative Development Team. In this role, and to achieve your ambitious online fundraising targets, you will work closely with colleagues in the casework, advocacy and media teams – as well as the senior management team – in developing and delivering digital campaigns that mobilise Reprieve’s growing database of supporters (currently about 100,000 people) as well as the Reprieve US database (currently about 4,500 people).

Reprieve’s income from the general public, through regular giving and one off gifts (largely delivered via our digital campaigns work), has grown significantly over the last five years with an ambitious target of raising £900,000 from the general public in 2021, accounting for a projected quarter of our income. This is an area we want to grow further and we are excited about the continuing development of this area of fundraising.

This role is central to Reprieve’s fundraising and public engagement strategies. Your creative and technical skills across multiple platforms – email (Engaging Networks), social media (Facebook Business Manager, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter), websites (WordPress, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ad Grant, hosting platforms), fundraising (Stripe, RSM 2000, Raiser’s Edge) – will help us achieve our ambitious fundraising goals and amplify our casework.

You will be a great organiser of yourself and other people. You will manage a team of two Campaigns and Digital Officers to achieve your targets whilst working cross organisationally to get input and feedback on your campaigns. You will enjoy working creatively, strategically and diplomatically, and be adept at striking the balance between creating powerful and persuasive content that amplifies our cases, and is also effective at raising funds for our work. Sometimes you will need to make difficult assessments in consultation with others, such as whether new content is best used in a digital campaign or in press coverage. You will have experience in digital campaigning, digital fundraising, digital marketing, and digital content creation. You will have experience managing a budget and making decisions about the best use of resources to advance your work. You will have a passion for the potential of digital, and an eye on the horizon to know how to continue improving Reprieve’s campaigns and digital fundraising work. Your passion in engaging people in the work of Reprieve, and in furthering Reprieve’s mission, will be evident.

You are a positive person with a hands on attitude, preferably with management experience, or you are at a stage of your career where you are looking to manage others, with the skills and ability to develop the talented Campaigns and Digital Officers you will be managing. You will have demonstrable experience of raising income through digital fundraising campaigns which you have designed and / or led. You will be open to new ideas and eager to learn. You will have a willingness to muck in on all tasks big and small, and the ambition and energy to drive forward Reprieve's fundraising and digital campaigning work.

Full Fact is an independent charity and team of campaigners and fact checkers. We are recruiting a Policy Manager to influence government legislation, regulation, policy and the action of internet companies to address misinformation online.

As Full Fact’s Policy Manager, you’ll play a central part in our work to stop the harm caused by bad information, improve the standard of public debate, and make sure people get the facts they deserve. Life-threatening misinformation during the pandemic has shown how this work has never been more important, and you’ll be joining the team at a pivotal and exciting time as the Online Safety Bill and wider debate open up windows of opportunity for positive policy change.

You’ll work in our Policy and Advocacy team with colleagues developing policy positions and campaigning for change on a set of issues that have public and political salience here in the UK and internationally around the information environment. Your work will contribute to the team’s wider advocacy agenda on tackling misinformation in public debate and online.

You will be a key team member in our campaign on the Online Safety Bill, making sure we have the relationships with the government and other relevant organisations, as well as building policy propositions to influence this key legislation and how the resulting new regime takes shape. 

You will work to ensure Full Fact’s relationship with the UK government, particularly DCMS, is productive for our external change agenda, and that we have good relations with other key governments on online policy as the regulation landscape shifts in key countries. 

The role will take forward our Framework for Information Incidents with stakeholders to drive improvements in the preparedness, response and accountability of actors around misinformation incidents and crises, focusing on the UK and other governments as well as the internet companies.

Full Fact has a strong record of making submissions to the inquiries of select committees and in being invited to give evidence. You will make sure we provide high-quality policy messages that are useful to parliamentarians as well as providing policy support to our Chief Executive in these sessions.

Full Fact’s work has an impact. We obtain corrections from Prime Ministers, other senior politicians and MPs. We influence policy and practice on online misinformation and related issues. We drive forward solutions to misinformation rooted in evidence, including from the fact checking process.

This is a chance to put your policy knowledge, engagement skills and strong judgement to work in a fast-moving campaigning, policy and political context. You’ll have responsibility and opportunities to grow. If you have a strong policy skillset, this is an exciting role working across new and emerging areas of politics, media, public debate and online policy.
