At Sport England, we are working to help everyone, regardless of age, background or level of ability to feel able to engage in sport and physical activity.

We launched our 10-year strategy Uniting the Movement in January 2021 – a bold vision to transform lives and communities through sport and physical activity.

We’re looking for a brilliant individual to lead our Digital and Content team and help us play a vital role in promoting Sport England’s expertise and award-winning campaigns to help the nation get active.

We can’t do this alone and Uniting the Movement is our call-to-arms to a vast army of stakeholders – some within the sport and physical activity sector, and some in other industries like transport and health.

You will play a lead part in helping promote the strategy to stakeholders by ensuring that our digital channels are offering everyone the information they need to play their role in the movement.

You will have overall responsibility for all digital channels, including our websites, newsletters and reports (but not social). Leading a team of three, you’ll be writing and editing copy, whether it’s news stories, blogs, reports or strategy documents that explain Sport England’s vision. You’ll work with multiple internal and external stakeholders to deliver a range of audience appropriate messages.

You will be a brilliant writer and have a nose for news, with an ability to create compelling content out of sometimes complex issues.  

You’ll need plenty of digital expertise too as you will be leading the continual improvement of our channels using data and evaluation.

The Content team sits within a larger Digital, Marketing and Communications team and you will work closely with press, external affairs and social to ensure that our digital channels are one of a suite of channels we’re using effectively to communicate.

Sport England recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly where we are under-represented, currently, this includes disabled people and those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups.

Housing Justice is looking for a talented and ambitious Marketing and Communications Manager to help us make even more of an impact on homelessness in the UK. Could that be you?

Who we are

Housing Justice is an exciting charity to work for. Our vision is of a society where everyone has access to a home that truly meets their needs – and today, the work we do is needed more than ever.

We mobilise church and community groups to take action to address homelessness and housing need, serving some of the most vulnerable people in our society. You could help us do even more.

You’ll be joining Housing Justice at an exciting time. We’re in a period of growth, delivering more projects for people experiencing homelessness and mobilising more churches and communities than ever before. Our expertise and quality services are being increasingly recognised by individual donors and grant givers.

But now, after nearly two years of the pandemic, we need to do even more to tackle homelessness in our society. That’s why we need a talented and dedicated Marketing and Communications Manager to help us articulate what we do and why donors should support us.

Could that be you? Are you the standout candidate we’re looking for?

As Marketing and Communications Manager, you will play an integral role in increasing the reach of our organisation. As the charity’s fundraiser, you will be responsible for growing our unrestricted funding – helping us deliver more life-changing work for people facing homelessness across England and Wales.

The role is predominantly remote, but you can work flexibly between home and our office based between The Oval and Vauxhall, which has reopened. The role is for 21 hours per week, but when these hours are worked is negotiable.

Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.

Reprieve’s main office is in London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

Reprieve is looking for a Digital & Campaigns Team Manager to join our fast‐moving and creative Development Team. In this role, and to achieve your ambitious online fundraising targets, you will work closely with colleagues in the casework, advocacy and media teams – as well as the senior management team – in developing and delivering digital campaigns that mobilise Reprieve’s growing database of supporters (currently about 100,000 people) as well as the Reprieve US database (currently about 4,500 people).

Reprieve’s income from the general public, through regular giving and one off gifts (largely delivered via our digital campaigns work), has grown significantly over the last five years with an ambitious target of raising £900,000 from the general public in 2021, accounting for a projected quarter of our income. This is an area we want to grow further and we are excited about the continuing development of this area of fundraising.

This role is central to Reprieve’s fundraising and public engagement strategies. Your creative and technical skills across multiple platforms – email (Engaging Networks), social media (Facebook Business Manager, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter), websites (WordPress, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ad Grant, hosting platforms), fundraising (Stripe, RSM 2000, Raiser’s Edge) – will help us achieve our ambitious fundraising goals and amplify our casework.

You will be a great organiser of yourself and other people. You will manage a team of two Campaigns and Digital Officers to achieve your targets whilst working cross organisationally to get input and feedback on your campaigns. You will enjoy working creatively, strategically and diplomatically, and be adept at striking the balance between creating powerful and persuasive content that amplifies our cases, and is also effective at raising funds for our work. Sometimes you will need to make difficult assessments in consultation with others, such as whether new content is best used in a digital campaign or in press coverage. You will have experience in digital campaigning, digital fundraising, digital marketing, and digital content creation. You will have experience managing a budget and making decisions about the best use of resources to advance your work. You will have a passion for the potential of digital, and an eye on the horizon to know how to continue improving Reprieve’s campaigns and digital fundraising work. Your passion in engaging people in the work of Reprieve, and in furthering Reprieve’s mission, will be evident.

You are a positive person with a hands on attitude, preferably with management experience, or you are at a stage of your career where you are looking to manage others, with the skills and ability to develop the talented Campaigns and Digital Officers you will be managing. You will have demonstrable experience of raising income through digital fundraising campaigns which you have designed and / or led. You will be open to new ideas and eager to learn.
