NACCOM is recruiting a new permanent External Affairs Manager to lead the work of our small but highly impactful External Affairs team.
About the role:
NACCOM is a national network of over 135 frontline organisations and charities across the UK, working together to end destitution amongst people seeking asylum, refugees and other migrants who aren’t able to access public funds because of their immigration status.
We do this by campaigning collectively for a fairer, more humane immigration system that doesn’t leave people destitute, and by sharing our learning, innovation, and resources across our membership to increase the level of accommodation provision and support the network is able to provide.
Join our charity at a pivotal moment. As our External Affairs Manager, you’ll sit at the heart of a high-performing, fully remote team, ensuring that migrant homelessness and destitution is high on the agenda. You will lead and mentor a talented External Affairs team, amplifying NACCOM’s voice as the UK’s expert voice on how the asylum and immigration system drives homelessness and destitution.
With our 20th-anniversary milestone and a bold new organisational strategy on the horizon, you’ll seize fresh opportunities to deepen our influence. Working hand-in-hand with frontline members, people with lived experience, and high-profile partners, you will deliver sharp, evidence-led campaigns and projects that put migrant homelessness at the top of policy and media agendas.
A strong aptitude for communications and campaigns, and an understanding of how that works alongside policy and research to underpin the external affairs function, is vital.
This role is for a dynamic, collaborative advocate who is passionate about social justice. If you’re ready to turn insight into impact — shaping narratives, forging alliances, and driving systemic change—we’d love to welcome you to NACCOM.

Background
People and communities around the world have the solutions to social injustice, authoritarianism, and the climate crisis. But repressive governments, corrupt corporations, and armed groups use violence and oppression to try and silence them.
By building resistance and resilience among those challenging unaccountable power, Open Briefing supports a shared vision for a world where communities and ecosystems can thrive.

- Delivered over 6,000 hours of mentoring and accompaniment.
- Trained over 1,000 activists in 112 holistic security workshops.

Introduction
Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis (CF). We fund vital research, improve care, speak out and race towards effective treatments for all. We won’t stop until everyone with cystic fibrosis can live without limits. CF is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK.
In recent years, improvements in the treatments for CF have transformed the symptoms and quality of life experienced by many, but not all of the community. The enormous leap forward that has been made is both wonderful and challenging and brings new support needs.
With better health, more people with CF now want to plan careers, but need to balance this with management of their condition. Others still need support with barriers to work or help to navigate their rights at work when they need to focus on their health. This led us to create Work Forwards, a dedicated programme of career, work and employment support for the CF community.
More information on the Work Forwards programme can be found on our website here.
Project Brief
We are now looking to work with a freelance digital creative producer/editor to deliver some of the project’s key resources.
Working closely with Cystic Fibrosis Trust throughout, the freelancer will provide creative input to identify the most engaging way to execute these resources within the available budget, and will carry out the design and delivery, giving us a set of impactful resources to support people with CF in work and employment.
These resources represent the culmination of work done over the course of the Work Forwards programme so far, and need to be delivered in mid-August 2025 ahead of a major report to our funder, the National Lottery Community Fund, in September 2025.
Key Deliverables
· 6 x 30-90 second videos to explain CF related employment rights to young people affected by CF (scripts and voice-overs are already arranged)
· An engaging, informative resource to help employers understand cystic fibrosis (information content already available, but we would like the freelancer to offer creative input into how this is presented).
Resources must be high quality, accessible and delivered in line with our brand guidelines.
Indicative Budget
There is budget available to deliver this project and this is in the region of £2,500 - £6,000. This must cover all costs to complete this work, including consultant fees, and any materials and resources needed to undertake the project and deliver these resources.
It is accepted that it may be the responsibility of some other providers (including ourselves) to collect and provide some of the information and content required.
Given the available budget, we do not expect this role to involve filming, but we are looking for the freelancer to bring their creative ideas on how we can amplify the project and make the content accessible and engaging.
Role requirements
The successful person will:
· Be a proactive and creative digital storyteller with a strong track record in video editing and producing content for social media
· Have experience in managing the creation of multimedia content / motion design
· Be able to follow brand guidelines and work collaboratively with our brand team
· Be up to date with accessibility guidelines
· Deliver high-quality work to tight deadlines
· Be based in the UK

1. Details of you/your organisation, core skills, experience and competencies.
2. Portfolio of video/multimedia work or previous examples of similar work
3. Details of availability to undertake work distributed across the project period and through to completion.
4. Confirmation of ability to work as an independent freelancer (e.g. Have your own office/IT equipment and the correct tax and NI status to work as a freelancer), and own software/equipment required for the project.
5. Evidence of any professional indemnity insurance/public liability insurance you have in place.
6. Details of how you would fulfil the project brief, the fees you would charge and the steps you would take to deliver the project to budget and timescale.
Selection Criteria
Proposals will be assessed according to the following criteria:
· Extent to which the tender understands and meets the brief.
· Previous experience of delivering similar resources to a high standard, in an accessible and engaging format
· Overall quality of the submission.
· Availability to deliver to timeline (please note the final delivery date is not flexible).
· Lived experience of cystic fibrosis – this is not essential but will be a distinct advantage (please note that there is no expectation that the freelancer will need to film with people with CF or meet with people with CF in person)
Timeline
We expect you to work with us across a 6-week period as follows:
· Closing date for tender submissions – 15 June 2025
· Tender selection – week commencing 17 June 2025
· Expected project start date – 1 July 2025
