Communications Officer - Six Month Contract
About Us
The Early Education and Childcare Coalition unites the voices of parents, children, providers, early years professionals and the wider business community, working together for investment and reform of early education and childcare in England.
We believe that we all benefit from a well-functioning early education system and we all have a role to play in ensuring it works for children, parents and the economy.
We are backed by some of the most high-profile campaign and research organisations in the UK. Our members include early years provider membership bodies, parent campaign groups, early childhood experts, trade unions, the business lobby, anti-poverty campaigners and NGOs. Together, we use our collective voice and research to build public and political support for early education and childcare. And it’s worked. Thanks to the dedication of our members, early years is one of the top priorities for the government’s Plan for Change.
But our work isn’t done – we have an ambitious agenda to ‘rescue and reform’ the system, ensuring that:
-
Every child can access high-quality education and care that their parents can afford and that will support them to thrive
-
Every provider is funded fairly for the places they offer
-
Every early years professional is rewarded and recognised for the skilled work they do
This is an exciting time to join the Coalition. We have experienced significant growth in recent years and with early years firmly on the policy agenda, we expect this to continue.

Greenpeace UK’s mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way. Their three-year plan outlines how Greenpeace UK (GPUK) is going to play a vital role in getting there.
Their recently established Events & Operations hub brings together donor-facing events and the operational systems and processes that underpin high-value fundraising, creating a cohesive function that supports outstanding supporter experiences and sustainable income growth.
We are looking for an organised and proactive Events & Operations Officer to play a key role within this function and deliver the experiences, systems and insight that support Greenpeace UK’s Major Donor, Trusts & Foundations and Legacy fundraising programmes.
This is far from a typical events role. Working closely with the Events & Operations Manager, you will lead on many of the team’s cultivation and stewardship events, creating opportunities for supporters to connect directly with Greenpeace’s mission and impact. You could be coordinating major donor networking events, organising behind-the-scenes briefings with campaigners, delivering legacy stewardship events, supporting unique supporter experiences, or helping to bring prospects together through creative events and workshops.
Alongside event delivery, you will play an equally important role in the operational side of the team. From CRM reporting and data management to process improvement and cross-organisational projects, you will help create the systems and infrastructure that enable fundraisers to spend more time building relationships and securing income.
This role will suit someone who enjoys variety, loves making complex projects run smoothly, and takes genuine satisfaction from both delivering exceptional experiences and improving the processes behind them.

- Lead the delivery of many of Greenpeace UK’s high-value cultivation and stewardship events, taking ownership of planning, logistics, supplier management and on-the-day delivery
- Support a diverse programme of donor events, including networking events, campaign briefings, webinars, roundtables and supporter experiences that bring donors closer to Greenpeace’s work
- Support the delivery of flagship events led by the Events & Operations Manager, helping to create exceptional experiences for major donors, legacy supporters and prospects
- Work across the Key Relationships team to ensure events are embedded within supporter journeys and contribute to engagement, stewardship and income growth
- Design and maintain CRM reports and dashboards, providing fundraisers with the insights they need to manage portfolios, track pipelines and forecast income
- Maintain accurate and compliant CRM records, supporting data integrity, GDPR compliance and effective reporting
- Identify and implement process improvements that help fundraisers spend more time building relationships and less time on administration
- Act as a key operational link with colleagues across Data & Insight, Finance and other teams, helping to improve systems, processes and ways of working
- Support team coordination, planning and cross-organisational projects while contributing to the continued development of the Events & Operations hub
Essential skills and experience:
- Proven success delivering high-value fundraising events, with responsibility for planning, logistics and execution
- Strong experience using CRM databases such as Salesforce, Raiser’s Edge or similar platforms for data entry, reporting, and record maintenance
- Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high standards
- Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, coordinate complex logistics and meet deadlines
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with colleagues, suppliers and supporters
- A proactive and collaborative approach, with the confidence to identify inefficiencies, improve processes and work effectively across teams
- Clear evidence of working in a values-driven way, demonstrating commitment to collaboration, inclusion, continuous learning and role-modelling organisational values consistent with Greenpeace UK
Desirable, but not essential:
- Experience of both major donor and legacy fundraising events
- Experience contributing to process improvement, systems development or fundraising operations projects

Anti-racism and inclusion commitments
Greenpeace UK wants its team to reflect the diversity of the communities it works alongside. It is committed to fairness, inclusion, and challenging discrimination and oppression in all its forms.
The environmental sector still has further to go when it comes to representation. Greenpeace UK has published ambitious race representation targets and, through its Anti Racism Plan, is working proactively to achieve stronger representation of people of colour, particularly within leadership positions.
As part of this commitment, a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) is being piloted. Greenpeace UK aims to offer an interview to everyone who opts into the scheme and meets the essential criteria.

If you identify as a person of colour and meet the essential criteria for the role, you can choose to opt in to the Guaranteed Interview Scheme via the screening questions for application via CharityJob.
Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of colour may hesitate to apply unless they meet every area of the person specification. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet all the criteria, you are encouraged to apply.
