Digital exclusion has always been an issue for older people, particularly for those living in the boroughs we serve which are the 3 poorest areas to live in the UK for the over 65s. Being able to get the cheapest utility deals, bid for more suitable social housing or simply find out about what’s going on in their area is something many of us take for granted. The COVID-19 health crisis has further highlighted the digital divide between those who have the means to access the resources and opportunities available on the internet and those who do not.

We are excited to be re-focusing on a broad digital programme, which aims to genuinely connect older people to each other, to information and to activities.  This is one role within an expanding team which will be delivering and testing a range of existing and new initiatives and embedding the learning across our services.

Who we are

Forward Action is a digital mobilisation agency for progressive causes. We help our partner organisations reach new supporters, then mobilise them to become activists and donors. We have been in the engine room of some of the most successful election and charity digital campaigns of the last few years, helping our partners add millions of new supporters to their email lists, raise more money online (from more donors) and create campaigns that have led to real-world change.

Our values are critical to us: we will only work with causes that make the world a better place. You will get to work with some of the most inspiring and impactful organisations in the sector - such as Greenpeace, Cancer Research UK, and Refuge - and spend your days helping win progress on everything from climate change to homelessness.

You will be working at the cutting edge of digital mobilisation. We trust in data rather than our gut instincts, so we are constantly testing and iterating in our work in order to challenge assumptions and drive better results. We are an agile, fast-moving team, and you will have the opportunity to rapidly develop and expand your skills and experience. 

One of our fundamental values is that all our work should drive real-world, measurable results. But we also believe that the greatest progressive impact we can have is to give our partner organisations the skills, knowledge and culture they need to do what we do themselves. We want to spread our skills and way of working across the progressive sector, not make our partners dependent on us. You will play a key role in this in your job.

Digital Dig Project Manager

12 months fixed term

up to £31,000 FTE

Work from Home with hot-desking available at RHS sites

Part-time – 17.5 hours a week

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is seeking to an experienced project manager and volunteer supervisor to support the delivery of its exciting new Digital Dig project. This project, funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s Digital Skills for Heritage Initiative, will recruit and support volunteers to help us improve the documentation and accessibility of our collection of nursery catalogues which list plants sold commercially across the country, dating back to the 1700s. This collection has potential as a rich social and environmental historical resource, containing information about local gardening heritage, tracking changing fashions of edible and ornamental plants and how we have consumed them. The project aims to recruit, train and support virtual volunteers, from varied backgrounds, through flexible, home-based opportunities anywhere in the UK, and appealing to different interests and abilities. Volunteers will be supported to geo-tag nursery records, produce transcriptions of catalogues and explore detailed local stories. The end result will be an interactive map, which can be used as a starting point to create relatable stories that connect with local communities. The project will also develop new models and processes for digital volunteer projects in the future.

The post holder will need excellent organisational and interpersonal skills as well as an interest in developing new ways for people to engage with and support their heritage online. The project involves members of a number of teams across the RHS so we will also be looking for someone with good communication and team working abilities.

With the recent opening of RHS Garden Bridgewater and Hilltop, the world’s first dedicated Centre for Gardening Science, at RHS Garden Wisley, there has never been a more exciting time to be part of our journey to make the UK a greener, and more beautiful place.

And we couldn’t do this without our people. We’re proud of the knowledge, enthusiasm and ideas that each one of our team members brings. From working across our social media channels, to volunteering in the Gardens, from serving customers in our Garden Centres to running national marketing campaigns, we believe that every member of the RHS team should have the opportunity to make a difference.

The RHS provides a number of great benefits for employees including:

• Free parking for staff working at one of the five gardens
• Free access to all RHS Gardens and Flower Shows

We’re part of a global movement of over 60 Engineers Without Borders organisations and tens of thousands of committed individuals and organisations. Together, we are working to put global responsibility at the heart of engineering, to ensure a safe and just future for all. As a charity, we have long championed the need for engineers to understand the vital role that we all have to play in addressing the grand challenges facing society today.

In 2021, we refreshed our strategy, emphasising the need to put global responsibility at the heart of how all engineering is taught and practised. With a different approach, the engineering community has the power to rapidly transform our world for the better and ensure a safe and just future for all.

As society moves towards the deadline to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we are striving to reach the tipping point for globally responsible engineering. We do this by inspiring, encouraging the engineering community to commit to global responsibility, upskilling, so that people are equipped to put purpose into practice; and driving change, collaborating with companies, universities and a wide variety of organisations to accelerate globally responsible engineering becoming mainstream.
