NCVO is transforming the way it works. With a new strategic direction and leadership team, we are determined to work with our members so that charities and volunteering can thrive. As the country recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic and renews itself, charities and volunteering aren’t just vital support systems for communities in need – they’re at the heart of how people want to lead their lives.
Content is an essential part of how we support our members and the wider voluntary sector. It’s central to how we give organisations practical guidance to help them solve problems, work safely and comply with the law. It’s also how we amplify our members’ voices and experiences, championing their work and helping them improve their practice.
As digital content and experience manager, you’ll manage three content staff and one user researcher, who together are responsible for planning, delivering, monitoring and optimising content across products and services used by 1m+ people each year. You’ll lead and develop NCVO’s content design process using agile principles, making sure all content decisions are based on evidence. You’ll be a strong advocate for users, helping others understand user needs and how we can best meet them with content.
You’ll work closely with product and content owners, as well as key marketing and communications colleagues, to translate objectives into actionable and measurable plans. You’ll work with colleagues to ensure campaign plans and product roadmaps consider best practice in user experience, and help to embed a culture of testing, learning and improving across everything we do.
This is a fantastic challenge at a time of considerable change for us. You’ll be excited by change and positive about driving best practice in user experience design and developing our capacity to deliver user-focused content. You’ll be motivated to develop an inclusive and aspirational content strategy, along with standards and processes that help us work efficiently with colleagues to create and maintain digital experiences that reach the people that need them.
You’ll be an aspiring leader with a strategic mindset and the ability to work confidently and collaboratively with colleagues. You’ll be generous with your knowledge and skilled at supporting and developing others, both as a line manager and as part of the content team. You’ll be used to working in multidisciplinary teams with technical colleagues, and experienced maintaining positive relationships using exceptional communication, influencing and problem-solving skills.
Trusted by staff at all levels, and from all backgrounds, you will contribute to developing a new collaborative and inclusive culture. Like many organisations, at present, that includes being able to work and manage your workload remotely.
NCVO is fully committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in our sector. We want this to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work for us and we welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and identities. We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented in NCVO.

More about Material Focus
Having launched in April 2020, with a brand new website, we are now at a stage where we need a digital manager to come and manage and develop this further. Our website digital tools are effectively our ‘product’ and are critical to the success of our campaign. They make it easier for people to know what, how and where to reuse and recycle their old electricals. The digital project manager will lead the development and management of the website, functionality, SEO, SEM, as part of a small, newly formed, and growing committed team.
You will be given the chance to come in and have an immediate impact on a well-funded non-profit organisation, with an important mission.
And you’ll be able to establish a good work life balance with somewhat flexible hours and the ability to work from home.
Background
Managing electrical waste is one of the biggest challenges of our time - it is the fastest growing waste stream in the world - and in the UK. As technology evolves at such a fast pace, older electrical and electronic items are often made redundant. Most of us don’t know what to do with our old electricals and end up either binning or hoarding them. The reality is that everything with a plug, a cable or a battery can be recycled and turned into anything from children’s playgrounds to life saving equipment. Reusing and recycling unwanted electricals helps save lives, save the environment and stops those precious resources from being lost forever.
The Organisation
We are a busy start-up, having been set up to get the nation reusing and recycling their unwanted electricals - and save precious resources from being lost forever.
We are a core team of 6, working with a network of trusted freelancers and agencies to get the job done.
The campaign
We have launched the Recycle Your Electricals campaign to motivate and make it easy for people to reuse and repair their unwanted electricals. This is a low interest issue that doesn’t even occur to most people - we throw away small electricals without even thinking about it, or perhaps we consider it but we’re too busy, and what would we do with it anyway? We need to stop people in their tracks, and give them a reason to think about it, talk about it, and do the right thing. Our website has been designed as an inspiring knowledge hub with all the tools, links and resources people need to donate, repair and recycle their unwanted electricals.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
