Make a difference at scale: head up our marketing and communications, encouraging thousands to volunteer their skills and provide invaluable expertise to charities, in this varied role that spans strategic and hands-on implementation.

Reach Volunteering connects people who want to volunteer their expertise with charities and other social purpose organisations. We are proud to say that we are the leading source of trustees and skills-based volunteers in the sector. 

This is an exciting time to be joining Reach: the pandemic created a surge in people wanting to volunteer their skills. There has also been huge growth in the number of social purpose organisations looking for volunteers with expertise to help them navigate changes, explore new approaches and make them sustainable. And the push to create stronger and more diverse trustee boards is gaining ground. Reach sits at the heart of these changes, and with our effective digital service, we are in a good position to keep scaling and deepening our impact. We are a friendly, deeply collaborative team of 10 staff, supported by many amazing volunteers and some great freelancers. 

About the role

We are looking for a Head of Marketing and Communications who will raise Reach’s profile, strengthen our brand, and promote our service and the value of skills-based volunteering and inclusive governance to our service users, the wider voluntary sector, potential volunteers and other stakeholders. 

Working closely with the CEO and other colleagues, you will take the lead in developing our marketing and communications strategy, and creating and implementing the plan. 

You will help us to evolve our story telling approach, and develop our key messages and narratives.

Responsible for digital marketing, you will produce, commission, publish and promote compelling content such as case studies, guidance, blogs and video. 

It’s a varied, flexible role. Of course, one person can’t do everything, so, depending on your strengths, you will be supported to recruit volunteers with expertise to help you deliver the work and possibly support with strategic development too. Other team members contribute too: for example currently the Service Development Manager provides weekly support with social media. 

It can be difficult to know what a job is really like from a job description. If you would like to get a better sense of what it would be like working at Reach, or if you have any questions, and would like an informal conversation before applying, please contact Eleri (contact details on our webpage) to arrange a phone call with Lucia (current postholder), or Janet (our CEO).

About you

We are looking for someone who can produce compelling digital content, for a variety of formats and audiences. Great storytelling skills are important as is the ability to write well for the web. You’ll draw on your knowledge of digital marketing, from planning to measuring to ensure that our content reaches our audiences and you’ll need a strong grasp of the basic principles of SEO, analytics, web design and accessibility. 

You will understand the value of brand and help us evolve ours, and you'll be fluent in visual design. You should be comfortable learning new software, and experience with Drupal would be an advantage.

You will be adept at jumping from strategy to implementation, and back again - bringing strategic goals to life through targeted content and impactful action plans. You will have the enthusiasm to get stuck in at both strategic and practical implementation levels and be happy juggling tasks and priorities.

If you are naturally collaborative, work to shared goals and enjoy supporting and challenging colleagues so as to create your best possible work, you’ll fit right in. Flexible, able to pivot as projects evolve, open minded and with a strong appetite for learning, you’ll be comfortable with ambiguity, but focused on the end goal. 

Equity, diversity and inclusion are important to us, in how we operate internally, and in the change we can make through our services. We are looking for a team member with a strong personal and professional commitment to building an inclusive organisation, with accessible services which help address wider structural injustices. 

Please see the full job description and person specification

Why you should apply

Reach is a small charity making a big impact on a national level. You’ll be contributing at sector level on key issues such as trustee recruitment, board diversity and organisational capability, and helping to develop the field of skills-based volunteering. There is so much potential for the postholder to make a big difference. 

You’ll be joining a supportive, collaborative team, with a culture that values learning and experimentation. You will be encouraged and supported to take risks and to learn and develop, and you will enjoy plenty of autonomy.  You’ll have the opportunity to contribute across a wide range of areas too. 

This is a really varied and interesting role, in which you can learn and grow. If you think you could do the job, but can’t tick all the boxes, apply anyway and tell us where you’d need support. 

We welcome applications from groups currently under-represented in our organisation including Black, Asian, minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ and persons with disabilities.

Background to the role:

Suzy Lamplugh Trust is the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, established in 1986 following the disappearance of 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh whilst at work. We work towards creating a society in which people are safer - and feel safer - from the prevalence of stalking, harassment, aggression and violence, achieved through supporting people; education; and campaigning.

Over the last few years, the Trust’s policy and development function has continued to develop and deliver hard hitting campaigns and projects. In addition to our personal safety and stalking training, we are now delivering more bespoke consultancy services to organisations, in order to improve personal safety in the workplace, which we hope to continue to grow in the coming years. The Trust’s policy function also continues to deliver personal safety projects to small charities and communities at risk of violence and aggression, such as young people entering the workplace.

Building on the success of our annual National Personal Safety Day campaigns, National Stalking Awareness Week and leadership of the National Stalking Consortium, we have secured a grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation to accelerate our campaigning on stalking. We have also identified a need to build up our evidence base on broader personal safety issues in order to increase our campaigning on personal safety, including public sexual harassment, safer transport, online safety and whilst at work.

We are looking for an ambitious, dynamic leader to lead this team and ensure that its work has maximum impact and is embedded into the core output of the charity.

This is a full-time role (35 hours per week), although part-time/job share will be considered.

This role is normally based at our office in London. However, please note that in line with government Covid-19 advice, the role may initially be working remotely. Once restrictions allow, we would expect this role to be worked flexibly, with a mix of remote and office-based working, with at least two days in the office (if working full-time) plus additional office-based working or travel to face to face external meetings as required to fulfil the needs of the role.  Travel to other locations in the UK may also be required occasionally. 

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly welcome applications from candidates with lived experience of the issues the Trust tackles.

Overall purpose of role:

• To lead on the innovation and development  of Suzy Lamplugh Trust’s work in research, policy, campaigns and community development, ensuring the delivery of key, strategic projects 
• To promote the work of Suzy Lamplugh Trust including the National Stalking Helpline and advocacy services, strengthening our voice as an authority on stalking and personal safety - both at work and in everyday life
• To represent the Trust externally as a leading authority in stalking and personal safety
• To ensure strategic development of the Trusts position in relation to policy and campaigning, and strengthening its role as thought leader.
• To be a key part of the Trust’s leadership team, delivering the vison of the Trust, deputising for the Chief Executive as required

Please refer to the attached Job Description and Person Specification.
