We are looking for a skilled and motivated Communications Lead to manage the communications for the charity including overseeing the strategic delivery on all communications for our programmes, services, campaigns and fundraising.

• Salary: £26,000 to £29,000, depending on experience (pro rata)

Who are GMYN?

For many young people, the transition to adulthood isn’t easy. In the UK, one third of young people are lonely, half feel unready for work and half feel like they don’t belong to their community.

Our vision is #YoungPeopleCan and we help young people in Greater Manchester overcome this. We deliver a range of development programmes and drop-in activities to help young people aged 13-25 transition to adulthood feeling skilled, supported and positive.

Communications at GMYN:

Communications spans across the whole of GMYN, from supporting delivery staff to best promote their programmes, through crafting messaging to generate income, to providing advice and guidance on social media and personal branding to the Senior Management Team. With support from our part time Communications Assistant, the Communications Lead plays a strategic role in designing and implementing communications functions across the charity.

In April 2021, we launched our new three-year strategic plan, which lays out ambitious goals. Our key communications priorities centre around inclusion and youth voice: developing our communications and practices to become evermore accessible to all, and to support young people in Greater Manchester to have their say on the issues that matter to them.

To Apply:

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, even if you don’t feel like your experience ticks every box on the person specification. While we are looking for some specific skills, we are much more interested in attitude, personal qualities and passion.

We also know that different people have relevant experience from many different aspects of life: at GMYN, we value lived experience just as much as we value experience gained through employment, volunteering or study.

Essential Criteria:

• Demonstrable experience of working in a communications role or a role with similar transferable skills that has achieved results for the organisation.
   
• Experience of developing and implementing communication strategies or project plans.
   
• Strong ability to tailor messaging to different stakeholders including staff team, young people and decision-makers.
   
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present confidently and provide support and feedback to team members.
   
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to proof read and quality check written documents.
   
• Ability to self-manage, work independently to targets but also join up your work with the rest of the Fundraising & Development Team.
   
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and workstreams with a “can do” attitude in order to produce positive results.
   
• Experience of researching and using data/statistics to demonstrate and communicate impact.
   
• Ability to produce compelling comms messages and campaigns to promote the work and impact of GMYN in order to generate support.

Desirable Criteria:

• Skills and knowledge of using relevant software: Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Photoshop); Microsoft Office (Publisher, Word, PowerPoint).
   
• Experience of creating and adapting content for print and digital (flyers, e- flyers, social media assets, campaign media, copy and press releases etc).
   
• Experience of using video/audio communication tools including production and editing.
   
• Understanding of the issues affecting vulnerable young people and a strong commitment to GMYN’s vision, mission and values.

Whilst our staff team is diverse in many ways, we recognise that we are not currently representative of the diverse communities that we serve. We are currently working with specialist charities to adapt our practices to make sure that anyone, no matter their background, can work with us to their fullest potential. We therefore welcome applications from people from BAME backgrounds and people who identify as having additional needs or disabilities.

Further information on the role and more about GMYN can be found in the attached job pack.

About Refugee Action

Refugee Action exists to help refugees and people seeking asylum who’ve survived some of the world’s worst regimes. After fleeing unimaginable horrors, they find themselves in a continued crisis in the UK, often homeless, living in poverty and unable to work. We provide these highly vulnerable, traumatised people with the support they need to live again with dignity. Then we help them build safe, happy and productive lives in the UK. Our vision is that refugees and people seeking asylum will be welcome in the UK. They will get justice, live free of poverty and be able to successfully rebuild their lives.

Our vision for a welcoming UK has never been more important. Last year almost 80 million people were displaced, the biggest refugee crisis since WWII. Add to this the most hostile Government we have ever faced, now’s the time to stand up for the rights of refugees.

It is a crucial time to be part of Refugee Action as we come to the end of our current strategy (2019-22) and embark on our next strategic period. We will do this through securing systemic change through our campaigns to change government policies, our direct services, and our work to strengthen and connect other service delivery organisations. You can read more about what we do here.

We will also continue with our commitment in our strategy to do far more to learn from and shift power to refugees and people seeking asylum. We are also striving to be an actively anti-racist organisation. Both commitments are a top priority for our new CEO as set out in his first public statement on Twitter here.

About the role

Never has there been a more important time to stand up for refugees in Britain and the current grant funding environment reflects this. Refugee Action has developed a range of strong, high value partnerships with funders like Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Comic Relief, as well as several significant National Lottery projects. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and enthusiastic Business Development Manager to join our grants team. Working with the team across the wider fundraising department, and colleagues across services and campaigns to identify and develop opportunities for future strategic partnerships, this role will play a pivotal role in diversifying and strengthening our grants partnership portfolio and income.

It is a fantastic time to join this growing team if you want to play a leading role in transforming a business development programme. With the whole charity developing a new three-year strategy over the coming year, there will be really exciting opportunities to take both existing and new funding partners on a journey and create fulfilling and valuable partnerships for both Refugee Action and grant makers. The Fundraising department has also established an Expert by Experience Fundraising Advisory Group, to consult people with lived experience and develop and shape partnership plans together. Providing high quality account management, research and strategic planning, the successful candidate will play an invaluable part in growing the Business Development programme at a vital time for Refugee Action.

To succeed in this role you will have:

• Demonstrable experience in relationship development and account management, with the skills and ability to cultivate prospective and existing funders to maximise funding opportunities.
• Strong communications skills, with experience of developing compelling funding proposals, reports and presentations for a variety of audiences.
• Proven track record in securing and managing significant grants (six or seven figures) from trust, lottery, and statutory donors.
• Experience of bringing together a range of internal stakeholders and operational teams to lead on cross-team projects and bid developments.
• Excellent numeracy skills and proven ability to develop budgets, monitor management accounts and understand funder finance reports.

Those with lived experience as a refugee are encouraged to apply.

About Us

The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest funder of community activity in the UK - we’re proud to award money raised by players of The National Lottery  to communities across the UK.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that when people are in the lead, communities thrive. National Lottery funding is open to everyone and we’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of grassroots groups right up to large UK-wide charities and community groups. 

We support a wide range of projects with grants ranging from as little as £500 to multi-million-pound programmes.

Last year alone we gave out over half a billion pounds (£588.2 million) of National Lottery funding to over 14,000 community projects across the UK, enabling even more people and communities to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. Over eight in ten (83%) of our grants were for less than £10k, going to grassroots groups and charities.

We are here to support people and communities through bad times as well as good – and that has never been so important as this year. Thanks to National Lottery players, we’ve been able to respond quickly and positively to communities working hard to mitigate the impact of COVID-19. Their efforts have been humbling and inspiring and we’re delighted to have been able to help by distributing over £400 million pounds in National Lottery funding alone across the UK since the first lockdown began in March 2020.

You will spend time having in-depth conversations with applicants, their stakeholders, beneficiaries and the broader sector in your effort to understand their wider ecosystem, barriers and opportunities.

You will write thorough progress and assessment reports for the UK Funding Committee and Panel to update them on the progress of our work and seek strategic input or to provide them with evidence-based recommendations on how proposals fit with the Fund’s strategic objectives, enabling them to make fair and informed decisions. 

You will develop relationships with funding teams and other colleagues across our four Directorates and proactively create opportunities for exchange of learning and best practice. You will also reach out to them to seek advice on their local context.

You’ll use a variety of communication channels and tools to share learning internally and externally promoting learning through networks and platforms. You will be curious and excited about innovation in funding, and you will participate and contribute in peer review meetings driving discussion, debate and challenge.

You will identify opportunities for developing our pipeline, linking up with what is happening and making connections between similar initiatives within the Fund and externally by actively participating in networks, events etc.

Who we are looking for 

We are looking for a motivated and talented professional to join our Fundraising team as Fundraising Senior Associate on a 12 month fixed term contract, with the potential to go permanent. This role will work collaboratively within the Fundraising team and the wider organisation to develop compelling fundraising proposals for corporate donors, high net worth individuals, and trusts and foundations.

This role is responsible for managing a portfolio of potential donors through all stages of the fundraising cycle.

Based in either our Birmingham, London or Manchester office, and reporting to the Fundraising Manager, you’ll support the team to develop and maintain a significant new pipeline (250+ donors), using relationship, research, analysis, and planning skills. You will work with internal stakeholders to develop new projects and ensure donor requirements and engagement opportunities are met.

This exciting role is varied and complex, and will suit a candidate with experience in fundraising, partnerships, comms, sales or account management with corporates, grant-giving trust, foundations, and/or major donors. It is essential that you have the ability to work independently in a fast-moving environment, managing multiple competing priorities and a complex workload and meeting deadlines effectively. You’ll have experience communicating with a range of internal and external stakeholders and a willingness to learn new skills.

Our successful candidate will, of course, demonstrate their commitment to the mission to improve the education and outcomes of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Above all, you will be deeply committed to our charitable mission and have the motivation to constantly improve and adapt in the face of challenge.
