Drop jobs in Assistant

We are looking for a Digital Learning and Engagement Lead to shape and deliver the digital experience for a UK-wide, government-funded programme supporting around 700 students entering the electronics and semiconductor sector.

You’ll be working within a small, collaborative charity delivering a high-impact national programme. This is not a traditional “content” or “platform admin” role.It is about designing an experience that students actively participate in, return to, and feel part of. You will take ownership of how digital engagement works across the programme, helping to create a connected, high-quality experience at national scale.

Why this role matters

Our programme combines in-person activity, industry engagement and digital learning.

The digital layer is critical. Done well, it:

• Keeps students engaged between events
• Reinforces learning and exposure to industry
• Builds a sense of belonging across a distributed cohort
• Allows us to deliver meaningful impact at scale

This role exists to make that happen.

What you’ll be responsible for

You will own and evolve the digital learning and engagement experience, including:

Platform

• Leading the selection and implementation of a digital learning/engagement platform (LMS/LXP or similar)
• Configuring and managing the platform to ensure it is intuitive and effective

Engagement design

• Designing how students engage with learning content so that it drives participation, not just access
• Developing approaches that encourage students to return, interact and remain connected to the cohort throughout the programme lifecycle 

Content and delivery

• Delivering and managing digital content, including webinars, recorded sessions and curated materials
• Structuring content in a way that supports ongoing engagement

Cohort experience

• Building a sense of community and belonging across a national cohort
• Encouraging interaction and participation beyond scheduled events

Insight and improvement

• Tracking engagement and understanding behaviour patterns
• Identifying drop-off points and introducing improvements
• Using data and feedback to continuously refine the experience

Collaboration

• Working closely with the Communications team to align with wider messaging and campaigns
• Collaborating with programme colleagues to connect digital and in-person activity

What we’re looking for

We are particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:

• Experience designing engaging digital or cohort-based experiences, communities or learning journeys
• A strong understanding of how to encourage ongoing participation and engagement across a distributed audience
• Experience working with digital learning platforms (LMS/LXP or similar), community platforms or digital engagement tools
• The ability to work independently and take ownership in a fast-moving environment
• Confidence using data and insight to improve engagement

You might have developed this experience through roles in learning and development, digital engagement, community building, or product/platform roles.

Experience with cohort-based programmes, digital communities, or engagement analytics would be particularly valuable.

You do not need to meet every requirement. If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply.

Provisional Interview Dates:

• Stage 1 (Telephone) = w/c 22nd June
• Stage 2  = w/c 29th June

If you’re someone who loves spotting patterns, uncovering opportunities, and turning data into decisions that make a difference—this could be your next move.

We’re looking for a Fundraising Research & Data Insights Lead to help inform the future of our fundraising. This is more than dashboards and spreadsheets (although you’ll love those too). It’s about using data and intelligence to unlock new income, build stronger relationships with supporters, and ultimately help us provide vital care to people when they need it most.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll sit right at the heart of strategy and storytelling—combining analytical thinking with real-world impact. One day you might be identifying a future major donor, the next you’re sharing insights into campaign that reaches exactly the right audience at exactly the right time.

What You’ll Do

• Hunting down new funding opportunities across trusts, grants, corporates, and major donors
• Building rich prospect profiles and helping shape a powerful major donor strategy
• Digging into CRM data to uncover trends, behaviours, and untapped potential
• Creating dashboards and reports that people want to read (and act on)
• Helping teams target smarter, engage better, and raise more
• Tracking campaign performance and turning “what happened?” into “what next?”
• Keeping us ahead of the curve with sector insights, trends, and competitor activity
• Championing data quality, compliance, and best practice across the team

We’re looking for someone who:

• Gets a buzz from data, detail, and discovering the “why” behind the numbers
• Has experience in fundraising, nonprofits, or a similar insight-driven environment
• Is confident with CRMs, Excel, and visualisation tools like Power BI
• Can turn complex analysis into clear, compelling stories
• Juggles priorities without dropping the ball
• Builds great relationships and enjoys working across teams

And just as important…

You’ll bring curiosity, initiative, and a genuine motivation to make your work matter. This is a role where your insights don’t sit on a shelf – they drive real change.

What We Offer

· The opportunity to shape and grow a brand-new income stream.

· A collaborative, supportive working environment.

· The chance to make a real difference in supporting hospice care for local families.

· Puts patients, families and people first

· Flexible and inclusive ways of working

· Competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement 

· Wellbeing programmes, Reward Gateway retail discounts & financial tools
