We are looking for someone with proven successful experience in digital fundraising/ marketing and audience engagement via digital channels. You should have experience of using digital platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, digital management tools such as Buffer, and WordPress. Enthusiasm for developing engaging digital content to secure funds and an understanding of acquisition focused campaigns are essential to this role.

Winston’s Wish is a national charity providing support to children who have been bereaved. Our vision is of a society in which grieving children and young people get the support they need, when they need it. This could not be a more important time for bereaved children and young people in the UK.

Our Helpline and online services are the heart of our offer to these children and young people and the thousands of parents, carers and professionals who support them. For twenty years our Helpline service has offered high quality information, advice and guidance to hundreds of thousands of parents, carers and professionals. Demand grows every year, and our Helpline is the referral pathway into our Children and Young People’s Service, offering bereavement support across the country through remote, digital and face-to-face services (selected localities only).

We estimate to support approx. 15,000 children and young people annually through our Helpline and the newer services that sit within our growing portfolio of online services: the ASK email service, Live Chat, and Crisis Messenger text service.

We are always improving and developing our services to meet the changing needs of children and young people. This year, as part of our Transforming Delivery programme, we have added a vital new service to this list: the Family Bereavement Support Service, which works sessionally and remotely with parents and carers to help them support the grieving children and young people they are caring for.

Following the planned retirement of our current Associate Director, we are currently looking to recruit an Associate Director of Helpline and Online Services to join our team and take us on the next stage of our journey at a critical time.

If you think you’ve got the passion, the skills and the energy to take our support as far and wide as we think is needed, then we’d love to hear from you.

The location of this role is flexible, with availability to travel to our Head Office in Cheltenham when required.  Due to COVID-19 this role will be remote/home-based for the foreseeable future. This will be reviewed periodically in line with Government guidance

Cats Protection

Board meetings (if not virtual) are usually held at the National Cat Adoption Centre in Sussex or at an off-site location.

Cats Protection is the UK's leading cat welfare charity. We're working towards a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. Since we were founded in 1927, we've helped a huge number of cats and kittens - rehoming over 2 million and positively impacting the lives of millions more.

We help over 200,000 cats and kittens every year through our network of over 210 volunteer-run branches and 37 centres. However, our work doesn't stop with rehoming thousands of cats a year. We also promote the benefits of neutering to prevent unwanted litters from being born and becoming the abandoned cats of tomorrow, and seek to educate people of all ages about cats and their care.

Cats Protection welcomes applications from volunteers in all roles across the charity as well as external candidates to complement the current Board. The new Trustees will be joining at an exciting time as Cats Protection moves forward to develop and implement the new strategic plan. With long serving Trustees reaching the end of their terms, Cats Protection is seeking up to three Trustees who bring a strategic insight in one or more of the following areas:

• experience of governance in a comparable size charity

• experience of strategic financial management of a large, complex organisation

• experience in audit/risk management

Are you a strategic thinking marketer who can create and coordinate first-class campaigns using a range of marketing strategies? Are you an outstanding communicator with first-class project management skills and a good understanding of product development? 

Triangle is an innovative values-based Social Enterprise and we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced marketing and communications professional to join our friendly team. This newly created role will support our marketing strategy and manage the development of our products and materials.

We’re looking for a confident and forward-thinking individual who can take the lead on marketing campaigns, ensuring integration of marketing activity across all channels. You’ll have responsibility for our website, ownership of our social media accounts and management of our email service provider. 

We’re also looking for someone who can conceptualise, plan and deliver new projects. You’ll have responsibility for developing and delivering the annual product plan for Triangle and supporting the team with the scoping of projects, including identifying strategic objectives and developing new approaches to meeting them.

We work to enable people to achieve their highest potential through developing and supporting a suite of tools for promoting and measuring personal change, called the Outcomes Star. An understanding of the social sector, psychological approaches and how people change would be an advantage.

You can download the full job description and application form from the careers page on our website to see if this is the next step for you.

About the role

This is a key position within Triangle that requires strong liaison across the whole organisation. The post is full time and combines two related and overlapping roles:

• Marketing Manager (around 3 days pw) with responsibility for co-ordinating and driving Triangle’s marketing  activities.  This is a new role for Triangle, with marketing to date shared between different roles and a consultant
• Product Manager (around 2 days pw), with responsibility for managing and coordinating the development of Outcomes Stars and related products and materials. This is to cover work carried out by a staff member who now has other responsibilities within Triangle.

Our decisions about the development of new products are based on a range of factors including our understanding of the market for those products.  Marketing messages and plans draw heavily on our learning from the product development process and can involve working closely with collaborators. The two roles are described separately for clarity although, in practice, many day-to-day activities will relate to both aspects.

This role will report directly to the Managing Director.
