The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) is a membership organisation and the professional voice of the UK Fire and Rescue service.

Following the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, NFCC has engaged closely with Government and other key stakeholders on improvements to building safety regulations. Our Protection Policy and Reform Unit (PPRU) provides the link between fire and rescue services and Government by representing the collective views and expert technical advice of fire and rescue services.

Within the PPRU, the Policy and Partnerships team leads on policy and communications on fire protection and building safety matters. We work closely with technical fire safety and subject matter experts across the PPRU. 

What you will be doing 

You will support the Communications Manager in delivering a programme of effective and meaningful communications on fire protection and building safety matters, in line with the PPRU Communications Strategy.

Your role will focus on: 

• Planning, sourcing content, writing, editing, and issuing the fortnightly communications newsletter, and contributing to other NFCC newsletters.

• Proactively monitoring external media, social media, political and stakeholder developments, and sharing relevant updates and summaries with the team.

• Planning and delivering webinars and face-to-face workshops, forums, roundtables, and other engagement activities.

• Providing communications support on key projects and workstreams, e.g. drafting website copy, press releases, social media posts, and external letters.

• Helping to develop and maintain key communications and stakeholder tools and trackers.

Who are we looking for?  

We’re looking for a creative communications and engagement professional with a flair for writing and a keen eye for detail.

Our work involves communicating technical and regulatory information to a wide range of audiences, so you should have the ability to translate complex information into accessible plain English.

You will be an effective organiser, with great planning skills and some experience in organising events.

You’ll be digitally savvy, with experience in social media, writing online content, and in using newsletter software (or other web-based marketing automation service). Some experience in using desktop publishing and/or video editing is also desirable.

Our work is fast paced, so you’ll be accustomed to working to tight deadlines driven by political and media developments. You’ll be effective at managing and prioritising your own workload. 

You’ll have some political awareness and understanding of how Parliament works, which will be key for monitoring media and political developments. 

We work closely as a team, and with colleagues across the NFCC, so you will be collaborative in your approach. 

What you can expect from us 

We’re a people-centred organisation, focussed on creating a positive and engaging working environment for all our team members.

Wellbeing, reward, recognition and personal development are not just words we talk about, we put them into action daily.

Bath Cats & Dogs Home is looking for someone with a passion for data.  You will work with colleagues across the organisation to provide a central overview of Bath Cats & Dogs Home’s data ensuring that the Home's databases remain efficient and compliant. Key competencies are customer experience, data security, a thorough knowledge of GDPR, the ability to run queries, selections and impact and performance reports. The role will need to work with teams to understand requirements and priorities and to support them to improve processes and results through insight generation.

We are open to applicants who would like to work remotely in the UK on a permanent basis.

Applications received for this role are reviewed on a daily basis and interviews are also held weekly. To be successful in your application you must meet the essential criteria for this role and complete the set tasks which are part of the selection criteria. Without completion of the tasks your application cannot be considered.

What's the role?
 

As a Campaign Technologist at 38 Degrees, you will design and build software that helps our supporters and our colleagues campaign to create a fairer and more respectful country and a more sustainable world. You would be expected and must be willing to learn new languages in support of our Tech strategy. 

In the last few years we've built dozens of new tools, including:

• A custom CRM that holds data on the millions of members who take part in our campaigns

• A second CRM that holds data on MPs and other politicians

• A website that helped hundreds of our members organise their own local picnics and fundraising events to support their local parks

• A tool that guides people through the process of calling their MP to discuss a forthcoming Parliamentary vote

Together with our campaigning staff, we're always working on ideas for what to build next.  You'll need to communicate and collaborate with people across the whole organisation, and across our sister organisations in other countries around the world, to imagine, design, and build new features and new tools swiftly enough to take advantage of fast-moving political opportunities.

New projects are developed in a Typescript/Express/React stack, and our existing apps are written in Ruby (mostly Rails), use Postgres hosted on AWS RDS for most of our databases, and use Heroku to host most of our web applications.  If your previous experience is with a different tech stack but you'd enjoy learning ours next, then we're still interested in talking to you.

About us 

38 Degrees is one of the UK's biggest campaigning communities, involving over 2 million supporters who campaign to make the UK a better place. We’re united by a shared vision to create a fairer and more respectful UK and a more sustainable world.
 

In the space of a week, millions of supporters could be campaigning on anything from protecting our NHS and stopping cuts to Universal Credit, to saving local green spaces and protecting our democracy.
 

38 Degrees is fiercely independent. We don’t take donations from political parties, or big donors. We’re run on hundreds of thousands of small donations from the public. This independence means we never have to hold ourselves back from taking on those with power and can truly listen to our supporters.

Why you’ll want to work here 

The 38 Degrees culture is honest, kind, supportive, courageous, and respectful. We move fast, and frequently change plans to respond to events. We work hard but we also have fun. We regularly enjoy team away days and social hours. 

Benefits include: 

27 days holiday per year (plus bank holidays); Office closure between Christmas and New year; 9-day fortnight (office closed every other Friday); 4pm closure on the alternate Friday; Flexibility to work 90 days per tax year (30 day maximum per travel in any location as per approval process); one month paid sabbatical leave after 5 years of service; 

Employer pension contribution; 24 hour employee assistance programme; Enhanced family leave policies; Cycle to work scheme; employer paid annual flu vaccination; Rental deposit loan; Contribution to eye tests/glasses; Learning and development budget
 

Our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

We’re especially keen to hear from people who’ll bring lived experience of the issues we work

on and who’ll make our team more diverse as a result. So if you’re Black, Asian or from any

other minority ethnic group, if you’re disabled, LGBTQIA+, or if you’re from a working class

home, your application will be especially welcome. And thanks to our flexible home working

approach and network of offices, we have a staff team that is increasingly based across the

UK. We’re keen to continue diversifying geographically, so that we’re rooted in our supporters’

communities.
 

To make sure that we are able to reach our goal of a diverse team we have equal

opportunities monitoring requirements. Your application will not be complete without the

equal opportunities monitoring form.

38 Degrees is committed to inclusive working practises, so during the application process we commit to:

• Paying for childcare whilst you’re at 38 Degrees interviews or tasks

• Paying for your travel costs to the office and back – and for overnight accommodation if you’re travelling from a long distance for an interview although at present the majority of interviews are held online using zoom. 

• Making any reasonable adjustments – for example ensuring we have a BSL interpreters organised in advance if you’d need one
