The Challenge

RSPH is the world’s oldest public health organisation, with 170 years of history and a Royal Charter.  We are currently developing our strategy and are at the beginning of an exciting time of change for the RSPH.

Our income is generated across a number of income streams including:

• Qualifications – we are an awarding body, working with over 600 Centres across the UK
• Our membership – over 6,000 members, with a quarter based outside the UK
• Our education products including journals, digital learning, conferences
• Corporate memberships
• Commissioned programmes in public health

Many of our income streams work across multiple markets, both B2B and B2C. RSPH is ideally placed to build on its current position including through new and exciting partnerships.  This is a great opportunity for an experienced professional to join a forward thinking organisation and help shape the future of public health.

Job Purpose: There is substantial commercial potential at RSPH – the purpose of this role is to unlock it.  You will be accountable for increasing both income and profitability across the charity.

To do so, key activities will be:

• Contribute to the development of commercial skills, competencies and approaches across the organisation.

What you will bring:

• You will have a proven track record in income growth preferably, but not essentially, within the not-for-profit sector. 
• You will enjoy both the strategic and the tactical sides of marketing, enjoy analysis as much as creativity, understand customer service as much as promotion. 
• You will have highly honed diplomatic and collaboration skills, with success in working in a senior matrix to achieve your aims.
• You will demonstrate an excellent understanding of the financial planning of a complex organisation.
• You will understand the responsibilities of a Director, and have developed leadership skills.
• You will have drive, resilience, ambition and will relish the challenge of an underdeveloped commercial landscape.
• Ideally, you will have had success in qualifications or membership, an understanding of corporate relationships with charities and an interest in public health.  We know you are unlikely to bring all of this – so an ability to learn quickly is a requirement.

In return we offer:

• Pension contributions
• 25 days annual leave
• Organisational commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of our employees
• Flexible working hours and remote working opportunities
• Most importantly, the opportunity to change the world whilst working in a friendly team

About us

The Family Holiday Association provides much-needed breaks for families coping with some of life’s toughest challenges. Many of the families referred to us are struggling with problems such as long-term illness, bereavement, mental health issues, disability, and domestic violence.  

After a heart-breaking year of being unable to offer any breaks, we’re finally supporting families to experience the positive impact of a break again. 

This is the first year of an ambitious new strategy which will see us reviewing our brand, replacing our website, transforming our digital eco-system and ramping up our income generation. All the while developing closer links with families and those who refer them to us, and piloting innovative new approaches to making a difference starting with a day trip or a short break.

Location

The role is currently home-based but when restrictions are lifted and it is safe for us to do so, we will move all staff to a hybrid working pattern with some time spent as a team together in our office near London Bridge. We are currently aiming for this from September.

For this role that would likely mean one day a week in the office, or the equivalent, and the rest of the time working at home.

Interviews

We’ll be reviewing applications as they come in and suitable candidates will be contacted to arrange a short screening call as part of the shortlisting process.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a competency based interview with the CEO and Finance Director (Interim).
