The Bureau of Investigative Journalism is expanding and we are looking for an energetic and creative person to help drive change through our global health reporting.

Our reporting team includes an editor, two reporters and an impact producer, who collaborate with reporters, publishers and others around the world to deliver agenda-setting investigations that make global headlines and help create real and positive change.

Impact is at the heart of the Bureau’s work and this role ensures the team’s reporting makes a tangible difference in the world – that it is not just confined to pages of a newspaper or a television screen but gets to those who can use it, in the right format at the right time.

About the Bureau

The Bureau is the UK’s largest independent investigative journalism organisation. It exists to inform the public about the realities of power in today’s world. Our investigations seek to expose systemic wrongs, challenge misinformation and spark change. With no corporate or political agenda, we bring to light serious issues affecting individuals and communities in the UK and around the world, and share our findings with local, national and international media outlets. We work collaboratively to maximise the impact of our reporting, and are the first news organisation in the world to embed strategic impact roles into reporting and editing teams.

About the global health project

The Bureau’s global health team carries out collaborative cross-border investigations into systemic global health issues with a focus on impact. The four-person team collaborates with freelancers, publishers, health organisations, researchers and others around the world to produce and disseminate its evidence and stories in multiple languages and formats.

The project launched last March and has been focused on systemic issues highlighted and exacerbated by Covid-19, such as fragile and opaque drug supply chains, the high pricing of medical oxygen across Africa, and most recently the factors driving global inequality in access to the coronavirus vaccine. The project also includes a team investigating Big Tobacco.

The role

You will be joining an innovative, mission-driven organisation at a time of rapid expansion. This role is an opportunity to explore the role the Bureau’s journalism can play in society and experiment with different ways of engaging audiences and communities.

We are looking for someone creative and energetic who is passionate about driving positive change through collaborative journalism. You will be excited about reimagining what journalism could and should look like. You will have a keen interest in power structures, visible and hidden, and how to work strategically and thoughtfully within them. You will be a great people person and communicator.

The impact producer will report to the impact editor and will support her in building impact strategy into the Bureau’s journalism, with a specific focus on global health. You will ensure our journalism reaches key audiences in meaningful ways, that communities affected by the issues we cover benefit from our work, and that we collaborate with other organisations and individuals who are driving change.

Duties might include, but would not be limited to, identifying and liaising with publishing partners who can reach specific target audiences, helping organise briefings for parliamentarians or NGOs based on our reporting and working with in-country organisations to enable our journalism to connect with and benefit affected communities. You will work with the reporting team to help scope stories and the potential they have to drive change. Once investigations are underway you will build impact strategies that ensure the journalism reaches audiences in the most useful way.

Key responsibilities

• Shape and deliver impact strategies for global health team’s major investigations
• Help shape and deliver global health team’s overarching goals
• Contribute to story ideation, pitching, development and delivery
• Devise and implement dissemination and outreach plans ensuring target audiences engage with the team’s journalism in meaningful ways, on and offline
• Help shape and test ideas for making our journalism more diverse and inclusive
• Build and manage relationships with communities, organisations and individuals who can benefit from our reporting and/or use it to drive change
• Build and manage relationships with in-country impact producers
• Monitor and evaluate impact of investigations and the project’s work more broadly

Experience and skills

• At least three years’ experience in a relevant field, for example engaged journalism, impact production, campaigning
• Collaborative team player
• A passion for accountability journalism
• Interest in innovation and experimentation within journalism
• Desire to drive positive change
• Great communication skills, spoken and written

Desirable experience and skills

• Background in health-related field
• Experience of newsrooms
• Running campaigns

The role is intended to be primarily based in our London office (when this is safe), but there is room for flexibility. The Bureau is committed to being an equal-opportunity employer. We strive to create a diverse, inclusive and adaptable environment where people are encouraged and supported to do their best work.

We are particularly interested in supporting and encouraging applicants from groups that are underrepresented in the media. This is envisaged as a full-time role but we are open to a four-day-a-week role or flexible working to help to support parents and carers.

Salary: £32-36,000, dependent on experience

Changing Faces is on the cusp of an exciting revisioning and redefinition of our 1-1 and clinical model across the service for people with a condition, mark or scar that affects their appearance (visible difference). We are seeking a qualified, innovative and experienced Adult Wellbeing Practitioner to deliver 1-1 and other wellbeing interventions to support the needs of people across the UK. 

The main purpose of the role is: 

• To deliver 1-1 counselling, support and peer interventions to adults with visible difference across the UK
• To collaborate with the team to revision, redefine and embed our new 1-1 and clinical model across the service 
• To build awareness and promote the service across the UK to maximise the reach and impact for adults with visible difference 

We are always looking for talented people from all backgrounds to join us and help improve the lives of people with visible differences. Changing Faces is committed to achieving greater staff diversity. We welcome applications from people from all sections of the community irrespective of race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief. In line with our commitments to race equity, we are particularly seeking applications from people of colour/ people from BAME backgrounds. We actively encourage people with a visible difference to apply. We are also always open to conversations about flexible working. 

Changing Faces is the UK’s leading charity for everyone who has a mark, scar or condition that makes them look different (a visible difference). Being different in a society where there is such pressure to look a certain way is extremely difficult.

People with visible differences are vulnerable to isolation, loneliness, social anxiety and low self-esteem. They face staring, unwanted attention and even bullying and hate crime. They experience lowered expectations in education, problems getting work and stereotyping in the media. This can have a devastating, and lasting, impact on their wellbeing. Adults often come to us, having never spoken to anyone about the psychological impact of their visible difference before. 

Changing Faces provides unique practical, social and emotional support for people affected by visible difference; we challenge discrimination and campaign for a world that respects difference. 

Our Wellbeing services build confidence and resilience – giving people the tools to manage their feelings, cope in different social settings, handle other people’s reactions or deal with life, education, work and relationships. We are going through an important period of change and development in the Wellbeing Services – embarking on a revisioning and redefinition of our 1-1 and clinical model across the service and launching our national children and young people’s model. 

Changing Faces wants a future where everyone with a visible difference on their face or body has the confidence, support and opportunity to lead the lives they want. 

Salary range / benefits: £29,940.98 – £33,698.84 (Changing Faces’ policy is to offer all posts at the first point on this scale/negotiable.) 25 days basic holiday; 6% pension contribution 

Application method: Please download the attached Job Description and provide a full CV and a comprehensive supporting statement, with clear demonstration of how you meet each point of the person specification and job requirements. Please do let us know where you saw the role advertised too.

The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (NHCM) is the only organisation dedicated to Holocaust remembrance and education in the UK and it plays a unique role as a memorial, a museum, a place of testimony and learning. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding individual into the new post of Head of Philanthropy. This position is an excellent opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to play a pivotal role in a unique institution and help position us for future growth.

In a beautiful rural location near England’s last open-field farming village — yet only 90 minutes from Central London — we are a truly unique, tranquil place of Holocaust remembrance. Eva Schloss MBE, Auschwitz survivor and Anne Frank’s step sister, calls us “The only Holocaust museum in the world I leave feeling uplifted”. We began life in 1995 as a humble learning retreat, set up by the remarkable Smith family. Today we are an Arts Council and Heritage Fund supported museum of global creative excellence. The warm Smith family ethos endures. They, and our beloved Holocaust survivors for whom we are a home from home, drive everything we do.

We now face two interconnected challenges. Firstly: in a world of rising anti-Jewish hate, new generations must not only be educated about the Holocaust but inspired to act. Secondly: we are slowly losing our most inspiring educators — the Holocaust survivors who were first-hand witnesses to the greatest ever crime against humanity. To offset their inevitable passing, we have created cutting-edge digital experiences, films and highly emotive learning programmes. These can future-proof Holocaust education for the whole sector. But it requires substantial ongoing funding.

Job purpose

To manage a portfolio of donors and to lead delivery of the philanthropy fundraising programme, which includes major donors, and legacies.

To create an environment which enables senior volunteers and influencers to give practical support NHCM and to help us achieve our fundraising goals.

Work closely with our senior team, Trustees and senior volunteers to build a sustainable fundraising programme and to ensure we exploit new fundraising opportunities as they arise.

Key Responsibilities: 

1. Develop and implement a refreshed major donor programme for NHCM. This will include prospect research and pipeline management, ensuring solicitation plans are in place for all key prospects and donors, implementing high quality stewardship, planning major donor meetings and events and both supporting and leading asks.
2. Work closely with the Chief Executive, Chair, Trustees and other senior volunteers to maximise their input into the philanthropy programme, ensuring they are supported to identify new prospects and to make their own asks of friends, family and business networks.
3. Personally manage a portfolio of individual donors and prospects based across the UK giving, or with the potential to give, five and six figure gifts and legacies.
4. Work with Trusts and Grants Manager to develop robust systems and processes to ensure efficient management of the fundraising programme and maximise income from all voluntary income sources.
5. Review and refresh the legacy marketing programme, developing and managing personal relationships with legacy pledgers and ensuring legacy fundraising is embedded across NHCM.
6. Review and refresh the stewardship programme for high value donors, identifying ways to ensure all supporters feel fully engaged in our work.
7. Provide regular reports (both written and verbal) to the Chief Executive, allowing them to monitor progress in fundraising from individuals and work with them to mitigate identified risks as required.
8. Work with colleagues across NHCM to build up a portfolio of compelling funding propositions which can be taken to donors.
9. To be a leading authority on matters related to philanthropy, providing advice on best practice and new developments within the voluntary sector, ensuring NHCM remains abreast of changes in fundraising regulatory requirements.
10. To represent NHCM externally on a wide range of matters, including acting as a representative at meetings and events when required.
11. To work unsociable hours and travel across the UK as necessary to fulfil the remit of the role.
12. To undertake other activities as requested by the Chief Executive.
