About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the Team
This part of the organisation influences debates, opinion, and policies in favour of children's rights. We use powerful evidence and thought leadership to build advocacy strategies that ensure governments know about the problems we have identified and the solutions. We work with children, families, campaigners, and partners across many organisations to secure change. We create and disseminate engaging media content about children's lives to shape debates, put pressure on decisionmakers and build public support.
The Head of England & Westminster is based in our UK Impact (UKI) department. The department is responsible for driving the delivery of the UK Impact goal in our strategy. Our vision is to make sure families in the UK have the money, services, and power to end child poverty. It's our mission to help build communities of people who care about children, listen to what's important to them and work together to make things better.
About the Role
In this role, you will:
- Lead and develop a high-performing team, creating a culture of trust, inclusion and growth.
- Drive delivery of our England and Westminster change strategy to reduce child poverty.
- Lead place-based approaches that strengthen local systems for children and families.
- Ensure national advocacy and local programmes work hand in hand, with children's voices at the centre.

We are looking for someone with the following experience, competencies, and skills:
- Proven ability to set clear direction, effectively prioritise a large and complex workload, plan and implement change strategies, manage varied expectations and deadlines, and adapt plans when context change based on data, evidence and professional judgement.
- Significant experience of leading and line managing a high-performing, multi-disciplinary team including supervising, motivating and developing direct reports
- Ability to think and plan strategically, with evidence of securing significant practice and policy changes through the successful design and execution of integrated change strategies covering research, advocacy, policy and practice
- Ability to share and apply learning in order to continuously improve effectiveness, working within a collective impact framework
- Experience of holding a wide range of senior external contacts – including civil servants, senior ministers, parliamentarians, national decision-makers, media, funders - and evidence of influencing for impact
- Significant knowledge and understanding of the political, policy and practice sectors, frameworks and trends in England.
- Significant knowledge of equalities, diversity and inclusion, and how to apply this in order to maximise our external impact and strengthen our internal culture

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Location & Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.
This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT or in an LGBT family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
Thank you!

About Speakers Trust
Speakers Trust is the UK’s leading public speaking and youth voice charity. Every year, we empower over 40,000 young people to find their voice, share their stories, and build the confidence to be heard. We are creative, ambitious, and exist to make a real impact, with digital storytelling as a key tool for change.
What Makes This Role Special
Your work will go far beyond likes and clicks. You’ll see your digital content directly inspire young people, connect with educators, and raise Speakers Trust’s profile nationwide. But most powerfully, you’ll be responsible for sharing the real stories, ideas, and perspectives of the beneficiaries of our work, amplifying voices that deserve to be heard and helping move audiences to action, understanding, and even joy. If you’re moved by the idea that your creativity can shine a light on transformative journeys, and that every story you share could spark inspiration or conversation, this is the role for you.
You’ll join a collaborative team committed to making a visible difference and you’ll see your work resonate across schools, communities, and throughout the wider youth voice movement.
The Role
We are looking for a proactive, hands-on Digital Content & Communications Manager; a creative all-rounder who thrives on “doing,” not just talking strategy. You’ll have ownership of our digital content: crafting impactful videos, visuals, and copy for our social channels and websites, and creating engaging resources for marketing, learning and programme delivery. You’ll energise our digital platforms while continuously improving their effectiveness and reach.
This role is delivery-first: you’ll “own” the hands-on creation, scheduling, and optimisation of digital content. You’ll have input into what and when we share and will help shape digital plans, but the heart of the job is practical content production and sharing. Press and comms partnerships are supporting responsibilities, not the main focus.
Your Key Responsibilities
1. Digital Content Creation & Delivery (Primary)
- Design, produce, and post engaging multimedia assets (video, graphics, infographics, stories) for social media, and our websites.
- Amplify authentic stories, ideas, and perspectives from our beneficiaries to move and motivate audiences.
2. Social Media & Community Building
- Plan, schedule, post, and manage engagement on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X, as well as newsletters
- Grow and nurture audiences—especially among schools, judges, volunteers, educators, and young people.
- Monitor trends and adapt content for impact.
3. Learning & Programme Resource Design
- Work with colleagues to create compelling, accessible learning resources and marketing materials for schools, corporate partners, funders, and events.
- Design digital newsletters, reports, and campaign materials that support fundraising, stewardship, and participant development.
4. Marketing of Programmes
- Provide marketing support to the programmes team to help promote our programmes to schools and other charities primarily through developing marketing collateral and supporting outbound email campaigns
5. Website Management & Continuous Improvement
- Manage day-to-day website updates, keeping our sites fresh, welcoming, and easy to navigate.
- Seek out and implement small improvements that enhance user experience, accessibility, and recruitment effectiveness.
6. Press, Media & Profile
- Develop and deliver a practical approach to meeting regional press grant requirements (e.g. one piece per final); contribute occasional press releases if needed.
7. Support the Team’s broader objectives
- Help colleagues use digital tools, solve basic problems, and build digital skills through sharing, to improve our digital content
- Champion creative, inclusive, and accessible digital comms internally.
- Representing Speakers Trust at external events and networking opportunities
- Support the CEO in building their advocacy around the issues important to Speakers Trust – Oracy Education and Youth Voice
- Bring a collaborative, positive approach to tackling everyday challenges faced by small charities
- What Success Looks Like
- Our digital channels are vibrant and ever-evolving—showcasing new stories and resources that inspire, inform, and connect.
- Social media and websites consistently attract and engage stakeholders, schools, beneficiaries, volunteers and funders.
- Digital assets, learning resources, and stakeholder comms are professional, accessible, and “on brand.”
- Our programmes have even more adoption and engagement.
There is potential to broaden the role and extend the contract based on funding and impact.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong track record in creating digital content, managing social media, and designing educational/promotional materials (charity, youth, or education sector experience a plus).
- Experience with website content management and the ability to identify and deliver incremental improvements.
- Skilled in video and design (Canva, CapCut, Adobe, or similar) and software to support website and newsletter design.
- Clear, compelling written English for content, newsletters, and reports.
- Ability to grow and nurture digital communities—especially for school, volunteer, and judge recruitment.
- Organised, adaptable, and comfortable working independently and in a team.
- Supportive, sharing, and positive in approach.
- Passion for youth empowerment, diversity, and practical creativity.
What We Offer
- Salary: £30,000–£35,000 per annum (pro-rata, 0.6 FTE, depending on experience)
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata)
- Pension scheme with auto-enrolment
- Central London office (1–2 days/week), plus flexible hybrid working
- Opportunities to increase hours/responsibility if funding and delivery needs grow
- Supportive, inclusive, and creative team environment
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
