Would you like to lead a team of staff and MS organisations from around the world to develop existing and new international advocacy campaigns?  Will you strive to ensure people affected by MS have access to reliable, relevant, accessible content in their language, wherever they live in the world?

If so, this could be the role for you!

It will suit a strategic, collaborative person who likes to take the lead and get things done.  It requires an appetite for hands-on work as well as the skill and authority to bring together high-level communications, campaigning and advocacy staff from our network of member organisations to facilitate their contributions to shared projects. You will be an internationally-minded person with strong written, editorial and verbal communication skills. You will be an excellent project manager; IT literate, with experience across a range of communication channels, showing enthusiasm for keeping on top of new developments and for acquiring new skills.  Competency in one or more additional languages such as Spanish, Arabic, French, or Portuguese is highly desirable.

Line managing a team of two, you will work together with the Heads of other teams and the Director of fundraising on a number of cross-cutting projects that have an element of  communications, information  or advocacy (e.g. the Atlas of MS or regional awareness raising campaigns),  ensuring  our  approach is consistent across the organisation.

Eligibility

All applicants must be eligible to work in the United Kingdom (UK) and provide information regarding the basis of their right to work in the UK along with their application. All our staff are currently based in the UK and will be going forward.

Inclusion

MSIF places great value on human diversity and we are committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone is able to be themselves and reach their full potential. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures and particularly welcome applicants with personal experience of living with MS. Should you need any adjustments to the recruitment process, at either application or interview stage, please do contact us.  We’re here to support you.

Flexible location with travel expected

One of the UK’s most inspiring and best-known, faith-based organisations is looking for a highly experienced individual to join them in this newly created role of Head of Community and Membership Fundraising.

For the Salvation Army, their ‘community’ is so much broader than it is for other charities as it includes not only people choosing to fundraise organise/take part in an event, but also church leaders and people who attend a Salvation Army Church. There is also an amazing diversity in the things people fundraise for, ranging from small but impactful local initiatives to national programmes such as supporting refugees and the survivors of modern slavery, along with people experiencing homelessness and tackling addictions.  This role, part of a developing Senior Leadership Team, has been newly created to bring a new strategic approach to this area of fundraising, including spearheading a major new development empowering and supporting local churches and community centres to fundraise more effectively.

To make sure we get the right person for this important new role, we are happy to offer some flexibility in terms of number of hours worked and where/when they are worked. You could be based at Salvation Army Headquarters or if you are home based you would need to come in on occasions, likely to be once a month. Currently Headquarters is at the Elephant and Castle in London but in 2023 it will be moving to a new, modern building at Denmark Hill, London, SE5 8BQ, conveniently situated just across the road from Denmark Hill station.

So, what skills and experience are we looking for?

You will need to be a highly successful fundraiser who knows all about best practice. As a strong, natural manager you’ll be comfortable developing plans, setting and managing budgets and managing staff. You may have been on a senior leadership team but if not, you’ll be ready for that next step and looking forward to playing a part in the leadership of the Marketing & Fundraising Department.

Benefits: 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (pro rata for part-time); a contributory pension scheme; season ticket loan and an employee assistance programme.

The recruitment process is being handled for us by Valerie Morton who knows The Salvation Army well. If you would like to have an informal chat about the role you are welcome to contact her (please visit our website for contact details) 

Closing date: 30th January 2022 at midnight. Interviews: w/c 7th February 2022.
