About us  

Penny Appeal was set up in 2009 to provide poverty relief across Asia, the Middle East and Africa by offering water solutions, organising mass feedings, supporting orphan care, and providing emergency aid. We’ve come a long way since then and have grown tremendously in the past 11 years!

We’ve transformed lives and empowered communities, helping to break the poverty cycle and build brighter futures. Over the past few years, our work has expanded and our teams have grown considerably, allowing us to launch new campaigns and work in even more crisis-hit countries. As well as strengthening communities in over 30 countries around the world, we also make it a point to support vulnerable people here in the UK, too.

Charity People is thrilled to be working with Eden Project Communities in their search for their new Head of Digital. We warmly welcome candidates from all backgrounds to apply for this role. We are looking for individuals to culturally add to this organisation rather than fit an existing cultural mould, so if you are part of a community that has traditionally been minoritised and underrepresented by the charity sector, we would love to hear from you and will do everything possible to make this a smooth, supportive and fair application process for you.

Eden Project Communities' global mission is to create a movement that builds relationships between people and the natural world. They are a growing movement, working on and developing projects locally, nationally, and internationally. Their work is underpinned by the understanding that we need to live with the grain of nature and that everything is interconnected. Their projects aim to stimulate, educate, and empower. Eden Project Communities explores the interconnectedness of all living things and demonstrate the power of what people can do when they come together to protect the planet.

In post you will lead the development and delivery of a digital strategy covering content and campaign activity to ensure Eden Project Communities' activity supports existing and reaches new audiences.

Heading up a small team, you will ensure communications are developed across the full range of digital disciplines to maximise engagement with Eden Project Communities and The Big Lunch brands to inspire action across existing and new audiences. This includes developing a new website, overseeing online programme content and the developing content to create compelling visual stories to enhance the programme, boost participation in it and share our impact.

Ideally, you will have significant experience working within Digital marketing and content in a consumer brand-led organisation; experience in visual storytelling and in developing briefs, ideas and storyboards alongside scripts with a good understanding of the whole production process including producing, shooting and editing digital content; and regularly develop and recommend creative and innovative digital solutions to meet changing needs of the organisation at short notice.

You must be a strategic thinker and be highly innovative with exceptional communication skills. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, delivery driven and ambitious with gravitas, with a good sense of humour and high levels of integrity. You must be dedicated to keeping abreast of the latest developments and trends in digital industry, charity and community sector including trends in movement building, mass participation and community activism.

Location: homebased, anywhere in the UK

Salary: £41,500

Fixed-Term 2 Year Contract
