Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.
We’re seeking a Supporter Journey Officer to join our Innovative and Performance team, supporting the work of the Income and Engagement directorate by delivering an inspiring and impactful programme of stewardship to our contactable community.
It is an increasingly exciting time to join Versus Arthritis, a leading national charity delivering world class research and services, and campaigning on issues that matter most to people with arthritis.
The Supporter Journey Officer is a new role within the Supporter Journey team. This role will suit a proactive team player who has experience in the fundraising sector together with a keen interest in, and knowledge of, supporter experience and stewardship. Strong communication skills – both written and verbal - are a must.
About the role
As the Supporter Journey Officer, you will assist the Supporter Journey Manager with the development and elevation of an integrated supporter journey programme at Versus Arthritis, ensuring our contactable community receives a consistent and highly engaging supporter experience, which builds loyalty and inspires action.
This will include delivery of audience focused, integrated organisational journeys that build on our highly motivated community of supporters, based on shared values. These journeys will be managed across our platforms and audiences to significantly grow our voluntary income and lifetime value. You will be responsible for the delivery of communications across channels, including email, post and text messaging, ensuring accurate and timely implementation of agreed communications.
Central to increasing loyalty and inspiring positive action from our audience, we share the extent of the work being done by Versus Arthritis for the 10 million people in the UK living with arthritis. Alongside product managers, you will work to optimise in-product journeys across the organisation through consultancy and shared learning. You will work collaboratively with the head of department and other directorate colleagues to create and embed a fundraising and engagement culture across the organisation.
A key part of the role is to provide practical, administrative support and to lead on facilitating the collection of insight evaluation and future development, ensuring this supports team performance and learning. We’re a small and dynamic team at the forefront of innovating the charity’s Income and Engagement directorate.
This is a unique opportunity to shape how we communicate with our supporters across multiple channels – including email, post and SMS – ensuring that everyone who interacts with Versus Arthritis feels valued, inspired, and connected to our cause.
About you
If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:
- Experience writing in different styles and producing content for different audiences.
- Experience delivering audience focused engagement strategies and communications, with excellent copywriting skills.
- Creative and curious, excited to research and test new ways of engaging with supporters, with an appetite to learn about approaches from across and beyond the sector.
- Strong data analysis and problem-solving skills, with an audience and insight-led approach, keeping the supporters’ best interests at the heart of decision-making.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to engage with and influence others, both internally and externally, in person and in writing.
- A proactive ‘can do’ attitude and desire to learn and develop as the team’s influence and input grows.
- The ability to work on different priorities and manage time effectively to meet deadlines.
- An interest in improving the lives of people with arthritis and the willingness to gain knowledge of arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions.
*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.
Benefits

- Health and wellbeing support – including the Employee Assistance Programme (free confidential 24/7 support with mental health, legal and financial queries).
