We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative, and organised person to help develop and deliver the Nuffield Foundation’s communications activity, including leading on our events programme.

The role 

The Communications and Events Manager is a vital role within our small communications team, working to build audience engagement and to increase the profile and influence of the Nuffield Foundation and the work that we fund.

An important part of the role is to lead on the development and delivery of our events programme, including online, face-to-face and hybrid events. Like many organisations, the pandemic has changed the way we conceive of events and prompted us to think afresh about the opportunities they provide for audience engagement. This role provides an exciting opportunity to lead and to innovate as we take our events programme into its next phase – enhancing our online events, developing new hybrid formats and maximising the potential of our new, central London events space.

The Communications and Events Manager will also work with our in-house research and policy specialists to provide communications advice and support to the people we fund. Our goal is to identify and engage our target audiences with the research we fund, which addresses some of the most pressing challenges facing the UK. Challenges such as how to mitigate the most harmful social impacts of the pandemic, how to give all children the best start in life, and how to improve work and family life for people, particularly the most disadvantaged.

Working with others in the team, you will also plan and implement communications activity to engage our audiences with the Foundation’s work, including promotion of our funding opportunities, writing and editing content for our website and publications, and helping to broaden and diversify our audiences.   

About you

We are looking for someone with experience across the communications mix, including end-to-end events management, media relations and content creation across different channels. Our work focuses on research and policy in education, justice and welfare, and while you don’t need to be an expert in those areas, you should have an enthusiasm to develop knowledge of them and the ability to quickly get to grips with the landscape in which the Foundation operates, our strategy and our target audiences.

You will enjoy working in a team environment and have excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will be confident working with a range of stakeholders, including subject specialists and academics. We are seeking someone who can think creatively about communicating complex and technical research and can work independently on a range of projects. You will be highly organised, with good project management skills and the ability to work on multiple projects at once.

We for looking for someone with excellent writing and editing skills. You will be able to turn your hand to writing marketing copy, editing reports and other content, and producing event materials to a high standard. You will be able to distil key messages from research evidence and use them to create content for a range of communication channels and audiences.

You will have experience of managing both online and face-to-face events, using Zoom, Microsoft Teams and/or other platforms. You will be confident working with audio visual equipment and systems and have experience of using data for analysis, reporting and evaluation.

Audience engagement is a big part of the role and you will have knowledge and experience of using databases/CRM systems to develop and segment audiences. Having recently implemented an upgrade of our CRM systems, you will be excited about the opportunities that brings and play an active role in maximising the benefits for audience development.

New role, new investment area – new opportunity! 

Hybrid working (2 days office, 3 days WAH as a typical pattern) brings you the best of both worlds!  Please call to discuss other flexibility requests. 

Now's the time for IG to shine. It’s not an area we have invested in before, so there’s lots of scope and potential. 

We’re looking for someone with experience of working across a range of Individual Giving activities, to help shape and bring alive the potential.  Potential that could help us to reach more families facing tough times who really need a holiday.

You’ll be joining a small team of functional specialists (corporate, events, trusts, content).  You will need all the usual fundraisers' traits – a sense of humour, ability to juggle tasks and deadlines to deliver, resilience and tenacity.  The ability to manage a budget (reporting, KPIs, ROI). An understanding of data and how to use it. The ability to tell a story for your audience and build a case for support. 

But you’ll also be able to exercise your creative and innovative side too - we need to develop and deliver campaigns and use media and approaches we haven’t used before for recruitment, and which we are keen to test, trial and scale based on results. 

If you have experience in digital fundraising, creating products, small charity lottery we’d love to hear more.  Also if you have used a range of recruitment approaches for acquisition – what will work for us? 

You might be looking to take your first manager role, or you might be looking for a change in what you do.  Your experience is what matters to us and how you want to bring that to life to help us shape what’s next for Family Holiday Charity.

We’re a small charity, so there’s a lot to do but it’s a fun place to be, with a great team of people who are keen for each other to succeed.  Join us?

More about the charity

We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We're here for children who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, and families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.

Once we find out what each family needs, we take care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.

Working arrangements

We work as a hybrid team, typically spending two days a week in our London office and three at home.  We've kitted out to do this with laptops, an online phone system. Our London home is near Borough tube station - we're in the shared charity building, CAN Mezzanine.  Dangerously close to the delicious lunch options that Borough Market presents! Easily accessible from London Bridge and close to Borough Tube. 

Right now,  we are following government guidance and working at home - we'll review this guidance in the new year and may decide to interview via Zoom or Teams depending on this advice, though ideally would have final interviews face to face.  Let's see. 

Safer recruitment

As part of our commitment to safeguarding the families we’re here to help, we follow safer recruitment practices.  This means we will ask you to share details of any convictions you may have had, and we may ask you to complete other pre-employment checks. You may be required to complete a DBS check (at the charity’s expense).  We also run basic searches on social media and through search engines as part of our checking process.

​We give children the reading skills and confidence they need for a fair chance in life, through our flexible volunteer-led programme. Our School Relationship Managers are vital to the charity as they develop and foster great relationships with schools. We want to reach as many children as possible and School Relationship Managers ensure that our partner schools continue to have an excellent experience and remain active, committed partners.

Do you want to join a company with ambitious plans to make a social impact? ​

​Each year, eight children in an average class will leave primary school unable to read well. These children often struggle in school, and beyond. Reading isn’t just about books. It’s about reading a road sign, a safety manual, a birthday card. It’s understanding a job application and the prescription that could help save your life.​​
​​
When a child can navigate words, they can navigate the world. That’s why we’re helping children develop the reading skills they need to succeed by creating flexible volunteering at the heart of our communities. The Bookmark app matches schools with fully safeguarded, vetted and trained reading volunteers in the local community, at the tap of a button. Each volunteer delivers one-to-one reading sessions for a six-week programme with a child who needs extra help with their reading.​​

​We are a small but growing team of hard-working people, who care about what we do. We love to roll up our sleeves, try new ways of doing things, and support each other so that we can achieve our goals. If that sounds like you and you share our vision and values, we'd love to hear from you. ​​​

Bookmark is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community. We aim to create a working environment in which all individuals can make best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and in which all decisions are based on merit. We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies and opportunity for flexible working arrangements to support team members from different backgrounds.​​

​Help us change the story for more children.​

​The salary for this role is £24,000 - £28,000. ​
The deadline is midnight on Tuesday 1st February, with interviews expected to take place ​
in February. This role is based in London and will involve flexible working, but the successful candidate will be required to commute to our Piccadilly office.​
