NORTH LONDON CARES: HEAD OF PROGRAMMES

• Salary: £33,000 (plus travel)
• Full time, permanent position (37.5 hours per week)
• 26 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible working hours

North London Cares is a charity reducing loneliness and isolation amongst older and younger people alike; improving the confidence, belonging, purpose and power of all participants; and bringing people together to bridge the gaps across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

This is a leadership role in that small and growing charity – a chance to build on our last nine years of programming, to deepen relationships and to continue to develop North London Cares’ wonderful team.

You will need to be a powerful communicator, in writing and in person, and someone who can talk to and relate to people from all backgrounds, no matter their circumstances – someone equally comfortable discussing illness and isolation with a housebound 95-year-old in Holloway as you are talking about work and weddings with a 25-year-old volunteer in Highbury.

You will be outgoing and tenacious; with an organised, collaborative approach, a clear, authentic communication style and an intrinsic understanding of the power of networks and digital media.

Crucially, we need a people-person: someone who can guide vital partnerships including with corporations, Councils and long-established community groups. We also need a numbers person, someone methodical, target focused and strategic, who can work with our national Director of Programmes to drive a shared vision. And we need a self-starter: someone committed, tough, and focused working alone as well as collaboratively, who is passionate about developing North London Cares over the coming years.

Finally, we need someone who understands and is motivated by the demographics and social challenges of our communities and the issues we work on – and in particular who is passionate about and can clearly promote our vision for building close community networks in order to tackle isolation and loneliness in north London as the city continues to change at pace.

In achieving this vision you will be trusted to work dynamically and independently at this exciting organisation, with a growing profile and backing from major local and national supporters, and a real opportunity to build lasting success.

And you will be provided with development challenges and opportunities, including support from our national Director of Programmes and ever-growing local and national networks to play a vital role in the development of North London Cares and the wider Cares Family. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

Established by the UK Government, Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) is a charity that promotes and supports Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) in the UK.

Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January) is the day for everyone to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. It is a time when we seek to learn the lessons of the past and recognise that genocide does not just take place on its own - it’s a steady process which can begin if discrimination, racism and hatred are not checked and prevented.

HMD is for everyone. Each year across the UK, thousands of people come together to learn more about the past and take action to create a safer future. We know they learn more, empathise more and do more.

Together we bear witness for those who endured genocide and honour the survivors and all those whose lives were changed beyond recognition.

We are currently looking for a Head of Communications to join us and oversee our communications activities.

You’ll encourage people to learn from the past and inspire them to challenge prejudice in today’s world.

The Holocaust threatened the fabric of civilisation and genocide must still be resisted every day. If you would like to support our mission and strengthen our voice of unity, equality and inclusion, we would love to hear from you.

The Role

As the Head of Communications, you will lead the development and delivery of all communications and convey the messages and impact of Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD).

In this important role, you will drive awareness of HMD and HMDT by building relationships with high-profile opinion formers (such as parliamentarians) and encourage meaningful commemoration of HMD.

You will oversee our survivor engagement activity, ensuring the experiences of survivors and those affected by the Holocaust and subsequent genocides remain central to HMD and HMDT.

Your role will also involve: 

- Overseeing the annual development, delivery and evaluation of our media strategy 
- Leading our digital engagement work 
- Overseeing the creation of HMDT resources and marketing plans 
- Acting as a spokesperson for the organisation
- Developing sensitive responses for complex political and social issues

About You

To join us as the Head of Communications, you will need: 

- Experience of working in a busy communications environment 
- A track record of working sensitively with a range of stakeholders 
- Experience of working with opinion formers and high-profile individuals
- An understanding of how traditional and new media can drive impact 
- Knowledge of the UK political environment 
- A strategic mindset 
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills 
- An interest in, and willingness to learn about, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides
- An understanding of, and commitment to, equal opportunities 

Other organisations may call this role Senior Communications Manager, Head of Media Engagement, Press Manager, Press Office Manager, or Marketing Communications Manager.

What’s more, you’re proactive, have a collaborative approach, respect for others opinions and are not afraid to apply creative thinking, challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas, methods and processes.

Benefits
