About the role 

At NCT, our vision is that everyone who becomes a parent feels confident, connected, and safe because we believe parents help build the foundations of the future.

We are the charity that supports people as they become parents.  

We’re here to support every parent and their unique experiences of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. No exceptions. This means tackling the top challenges facing new and expectant parents today head on – overstretched maternity services, disparities in quality of care, the crisis in postnatal support, and the rising cost of living. Getting this right will have far-reaching benefits, not just for parents, but also for babies, children, families, and our whole society.

We’re recruiting a Senior Membership Manager to lead the review and revitalisation of our current NCT Membership programme as one of our 2023-25 ‘For Every Parent’ strategic commitments. You will help build an ambitious growth strategy that attracts, engages, motivates and retains members to be part of the NCT community and considers how we can best continue to serve our valued membership base.

This is an opportunity for a creative self-starter to make your mark! We’re looking for someone with track record of building and leading a large membership programme (or equivalent) in an impact-driven environment. We want to hear about your background, ideas and enthusiasm for delivering impactful supporter experiences that generate engagement and loyalty. Please visit our NCT for further details on job description.

We are taking positive action to increase diversity throughout our charity, at all levels, and to nurture a culture of inclusion for all our people and the parents and families that we support.  More details about our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion action can be found here. 

We are committed to zero discrimination both internally and externally regardless of visible or invisible difference such as sex, sexual orientation, age, race, ethnicity, disability, impairment, learning difference or long-term condition, religion or belief, gender identity, economic class, marital/civil partnership, family status including single parents, socio-economic background and pregnancy and maternity.   We provide reasonable adjustments and are committed to an inclusive and accessible recruitment process.  

We welcome and actively encourage applications from all candidates including those from under-represented groups within NCT such as individuals from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQI+ people and people with a disability.  

The welfare and safety of individuals is at the heart of everything that we do. NCT is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults and expects all staff to share this commitment.
