Event executive jobs in Leeds

The marketing and communications team is small but mighty. We help people find the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), understand what we do and take the next step, whether that is applying for a programme, booking a workshop, coming to an event, becoming a partner or engaging with our work.

We lead programme recruitment across SSE. That includes campaign planning, email marketing, social media, web content, partner communications and applicant journeys. We also manage SSE’s outbound communications, making sure our messages are clear, timely and joined up across newsletters, press, stakeholder updates, programme promotion and wider brand activity.

It is a creative, varied team where the work moves quickly and no two days feel the same. You will work across the full communications mix, helping us turn ideas, stories and programme information into clear, engaging content that reaches the right people and encourages them to act.

The work is fast-paced, but it is also genuinely rewarding. Good marketing at SSE means more social entrepreneurs hear about the support available to them, more partners understand our impact and more people see the value of social enterprise. We are practical, collaborative and always looking for ways to improve. If you enjoy making things clearer, sharper and more engaging, and you want to see your work make a real difference, this is a brilliant team to be part of.

About us

Kids Matter is one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s charities. Our vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Our mission is to reduce the impact of poverty on children through community-based parenting programmes.

Research shows that group-based early intervention parenting groups are the most effective way to support children in need. We train peer facilitators in local churches - the largest voluntary body in the country - to run our affordable, accessible and highly effective parenting programmes, written by Clinical Psychologists. They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.

We value difference and diversity, and we want our workplace to be built on shared values of equality and mutual trust, with team members representing the wide range of backgrounds and experiences that exist within the UK. We therefore actively encourage applications from people of diverse backgrounds and varied experiences, particularly those who are African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or part of other minority ethnic communities, who have lived experience of the impact of low-income/low-support circumstances, and who are living with a disability or identify as being neurodivergent.

Working at The Reach Foundation

Our Values

Here are the Reach Foundation, we have a set of lived values that guide our work; 

Rigour. We are clear slighted about the challenges babies, children and young people face. We use the best available evidence to inform our work, strive for excellence in all we do and support each other to attain this. 

Relationships. We invest in building the strong relationships needed to tackle challenging, complex problems. 

Intentionality. The most important decisions we make are about how we use our time and energy. We evaluate our work and think very carefully about what we start, stop and continue doing. 

Action. We have a strong bias to action. We believe that also long as we learn and adapt and work with others, we can make positive change for babies, children and young people. 

Justice. We are working to create a more socially just world. The way we work should always support that goal.

How we work

This role is advertised as working from home. Our Director of Operations lives in Leeds, and we would like to open this role to someone who is committed to working from a location near Leeds once a week/fortnight.

The role will not entail significant travel, but we would expect the successful candidate to attend 6 team days per year, and staff the occasional event.

We adopt an agile working policy, and believe great work happens when people feel trusted, connected, and able to adapt to what the day asks of them. In practice, agile working to us means:

• We expect you to fully deliver your work. Our commitments and deadlines to each other and our partners matter, and work is completed on time and to the standard our team agrees on. 

• You are trusted to organise your day thoughtfully, meaning you can start early or finish later, take a longer lunch break, or work from home. 

• We expect you to communicate regularly. A remote team relies on connection, therefore we expect you to keep your team in the loop, share challenges and be open to shifting plans if needed.

Ultimately, we believe blending responsibility with flexibility means you are able to bring your best self to work. 

Our Commitment to Inclusion

We believe that we can't tackle the complex challenges facing babies, children, and young people, without catalysing action that draws from diverse perspectives and is led by a wide range of voices. We are therefore committed to an inclusive world where every voice, experience, and background contributes to our shared goal of a more socially just future for all - within, around and beyond our organisation.

As we seek to build a team as diverse as the communities we serve, we actively encourage applications from anyone who feels their skills, experience and motivations could serve well in this role. We strongly encourage those with varied lived experiences, disciplines and identities to apply.

Are you a fundraising leader looking to join a growing charity which brings hope to families living with a rare neurological condition?

Dravet Syndrome UK is looking for a new Head of Fundraising to help them continue to grow and reach their £1 million income target so they're able to expand their impact and help more patients and families living with Dravet Syndrome.

Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 per annum pro rata
Contract: Permanent, part-time, 24-32 hours per week (0.6 - 0.8 FTE). Flexible across Monday to Friday; some evening and weekend working required around key events, with time off in lieu provided
Location: Home-based, with travel to national meetings and fundraising events (approximately four times per year, plus key events as required)
Benefits: 24 days plus bank holidays (full-time equivalent)
Culture: Flexible, supportive, able to work with autonomy

About the charity

Established in 2009 by a group of parents, Dravet Syndrome UK (DSUK) supports over 2,000 patients, carers and siblings across almost 600 families living with Dravet Syndrome, a rare, lifelong form of epilepsy. They do this through their three-prong approach; supporting families, providing professional education, and funding research.

This is the perfect time to join as they're coming out of a period of transformational growth, when they are about to refresh their strategy following the successful delivery of their first five-year strategy, and have grown both their team and income significantly.

About the role

The Head of Fundraising will lead on high value asks to help further diversify, strengthen and grow DSUK's income base. This role will be both strategic and hands-on. You'll develop and implement the fundraising strategy, setting realistic targets and delivering on them. You will also represent the charity externally by building relationships with high value funders and developing the case for support.

This is a standalone fundraising role, with support from colleagues across the team. You will line manage the Team Administrator, with the potential to grow the team down the line as the fundraising function develops.

About you

This role will suit a confident relationship-builder and a creative thinker, comfortable working autonomously in a small remote team.

We're looking for someone with:

• A proven track record in high value fundraising, across multiple income streams
• Demonstrable success in building new corporate relationships, including securing multi-year partnerships
• Proven success in cultivating major donors, including securing multi-year gifts.
• Experience of developing and managing a pipeline of trust and foundation funding, including writing high-quality applications and managing funder relationships

If you're driven by making a difference in the lives of people impacted by a serious and rare neurological condition, please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.

Deadline: Wednesday 29^th July at 9am
Interviews: Online, week commencing 10^th August
