Job Description

Job Title: Content Manager, Editor and Mobile Developer

Duration: Full Time 40 hours/week

Location: Both home-based and in Surrey

Direct Line Manager and Accountability: CEO/Founder

Salary: £27,500-£32,500 per annum dependent on experience

The Content Manager, Editor and Mobile Developer is a key member of Thrive, with responsibility for managing content creation for Thrive and also helping to ensure the Thrive app works effectively, as it is brought through the pilot phase and into the hands of the public.

About Us

Thrive is a soon-to-be launched, hugely ambitious charity tackling homelessness in the United Kingdom. Through an innovative, technological approach that harnesses and reifies people’s generosity, we aim to end homelessness in the UK by 2025.

Our app will allow people to give to specific homeless people, whether from home or on the street, in a way that their donations can only be used for food, housing, mental health care and other necessities in shops and hostels Thrive partners with. Not only will this encourage greater giving, it will also give those who are homeless a safe way to get off of the street and regain the normal life and dignity we all deserve. Thrive will aid the provision of this safe pathway back to normal life through being an organisational force that allows local charities and government bodies to work together effectively, so that those who are homeless receive the right support every step of the way. In the future, Thrive is also looking to create its own economically sustainable, scalable holistic shelters, truly changing the way in which people that are homeless are treated within the systems of help.

Thrive will start pursuing this vision through piloting the app in London. From there we will then launch the app nationwide and end homelessness in the UK by 2025. Once this has proven that our model works, we will then look to other countries and seek to do the same in as many countries as possible.
