Most charity marketing jobs sound exactly the same.
“Exciting opportunity.”
“Fast-paced environment.”
“Dynamic team.”
We imagine that you’ve seen it all before. Probably read it on a job post on here.
So, here’s the reality instead. We are a small charity doing genuinely life-changing work for people impacted by rare, life changing neurological conditions.
We support people through some of the hardest moments of their lives. We help people feel less alone. We raise awareness of conditions hardly anyone has heard of until they suddenly turn someone’s world upside down.
And we need someone brilliant to help us shout louder.
Not corporate louder. Human louder.
We are looking for a Marketing Executive who can create engaging content, spot a good story a mile off, build communities, grow awareness, and help us reach more people who need us.
You’ll be creating social posts, campaigns, newsletters, website content, awareness activity, fundraising communications, and probably the occasional “can you quickly make this look nice?” job too. Because that’s charity life.
This is not a role where you disappear into layers of management and endless sign-off processes. You’ll have space to bring ideas to life, to try new things, to be creative, and to actually see the impact of your work, every day.
This role would suit someone with some marketing or communications experience who wants to keep learning, build confidence, and grow in a bold, developing, supportive, and purpose-driven organisation.
We want someone who:
Gets digital and social media
Knows how to write like a human being
Understands that awareness matters
Is creative, organised, and proactive
Isn’t afraid to try something different
Wants their work to actually mean something
Can crack on with stuff without someone directing everything you do
You do not need to tick every single box. If you’re good at what you do, care about people and making a difference, and want to work somewhere with purpose and personality, we’d really love to hear from you.
The important bits
Salary: £28,500
Hours: 37 hours per week
Location: Hybrid – mainly home-based, with at least one day per month in our office in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, plus occasional travel
Contract: Permanent
What you’ll get
Flexible hybrid working
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Pension contribution
A genuinely supportive team
Freedom to bring ideas to life
Opportunities to learn and grow
Work that actually matters
A charity that trusts people to do their jobs without micromanaging every breath they take
Most importantly, you’ll help people impacted by Inflammatory Neuropathies feel informed, supported, connected, and heard.
And honestly? That’s pretty cool.
To apply, please submit your CV and a covering letter telling us why you’d be a great fit by 30th June 2026.
We support & advocate for people who are impacted by GBS, CIDP, MMN & other Inflammatory Neuropathies. We also raise awareness and facilitate research

Do you have proven experience of working in an advice related environment, where there has been a focus on financial and housing issues, plus a real desire to help improve people’s financial health? Then join Shelter as a Senior Partnerships Manager and you could soon be responsible for managing our innovative Breaking the Cycle programme.
About Breaking the Cycle
Breaking the Cycle is an innovative access-to-banking programme led by Shelter, designed to help people with no fixed address take a vital step out of homelessness by gaining access to basic banking services. Delivered in partnership with HSBC UK and a nationwide network of charities and local organisations, the programme supports vulnerable individuals—including those experiencing rough sleeping, seeking asylum, or escaping domestic abuse—to become financially included. Recognised by HM Treasury as a key initiative within its 2025 Financial Inclusion Strategy, Breaking the Cycle is now expanding through a 12-month pilot with five major high street banks, alongside UK Finance, representing over 300 firms across the sector.
About the role
The Senior Partnerships Manager will lead and shape the expansion of the Breaking the Cycle programme at Shelter, providing strategic direction and overseeing relationships with key financial institutions including HSBC UK, Barclays, Santander UK, Nationwide Building Society, Lloyds Banking Group and NatWest Group. Responsible for delivering a high-profile expansion pilot in collaboration with UK Finance and HM Treasury, the role combines senior stakeholder management with programme leadership—driving growth, managing risk, and ensuring strong governance and safeguarding.
Leading a team of Partnership Executives, the postholder will oversee onboarding of new partners, refine processes, negotiate complex agreements, and ensure effective delivery across a diverse charity network. They will also play a key role in promoting the programme through campaigns and external engagement, while delivering robust reporting, identifying future growth opportunities—including digital expansion—and securing long-term investment and impact.
About you
We’re looking for a confident and collaborative professional with proven experience managing complex, multi-partner programmes or projects across diverse organisations. You’ll bring a strong understanding of financial inclusion or similar initiatives, with the ability to engage and influence a wide range of stakeholders—from senior leaders to frontline delivery teams.
Comfortable presenting both in-person and online, you’ll also have experience chairing steering groups and driving alignment across partners. You’ll be a team player who works effectively with internal colleagues to deliver wider organisational goals, and you’ll be confident using a range of IT tools, including Microsoft Office and reporting systems, to manage, track and communicate impact.
Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About Shelter

This is an exciting new opportunity to shape the future of technology and digital capability across five South West charities.

The Public Interest News Foundation (PINF) is the UK’s first charity that exists to promote high-quality journalism. Last year, we launched an ambitious ten-year mission to regenerate local news in the UK. We believe that local news is a vital part of the fabric of local communities, drawing people together around shared facts and pride in place at a time of disinformation and division.
We are pursuing our mission by (1) sourcing new funds for local news; (2) advocating for supportive government policies; and (3) celebrating local news providers from the UK and around the world that are Accountable, Sustainable, in the Public interest, Innovative, Representative and Engaging (ASPIRE).
Over the last year, we have successfully encouraged the UK Government to launch an unprecedented new £12m Local News Fund. We have also built support for our mission from US and UK donors. And we have launched initiatives such as the Tenacious Journalist Awards, to recognise and support independent news providers who are having a significant social impact.
We have a small and professional staff team and a dedicated board of trustees, and we are now looking to recruit a Programmes Officer to support our work. I hope that you will consider joining us on this exciting and important mission.
