We’re the UK’s specialist blood cancer charity and our vision is clear: we’re here to beat blood cancer. We fund world-class research, provide information and support to patients and their loved ones, and raise awareness of blood cancer.

We’re looking for a Senior Brand Marketing Manager to lead and shape how Blood Cancer UK is seen and understood by audiences across the UK, on a maternity cover basis.

You’ll lead the strategy and delivery of brand marketing and major brand campaigns, working across teams and with agency partners to ensure our communications are clear, consistent and audience-led. With a strong focus on insight and performance, you’ll champion an audience-first approach, embedding segmentation and learning into decision-making across the organisation.

This is a highly collaborative role for a strategic brand marketer who combines big-picture thinking with practical delivery. The role is based in London with hybrid working, and you’ll be expected to attend the office 1–2 days per week on average, with some additional travel as required. It’s a great opportunity to use your skills to make a meaningful difference for people affected by blood cancer.

We are committed to actively promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity. In line with our strategy, we welcome applications from individuals from underrepresented groups, including minority communities and applicants with a disability, to better reflect the community we serve and broaden our perspectives.

The purpose of the role is to support the Bishops of Hereford, Southwell and Nottingham, and Coventry in their duties as Members of the House of Lords. The work includes research and information gathering, drafting speeches and questions, managing meetings, appointments and other events on behalf of the Bishops and such other work as they and the Head of Parliamentary Affairs may require from time to time.

The Parliamentary and Policy Researcher's priorities and tasks will be determined by the Bishops, with whom the postholder will be expected to have frequent direct contact along with their key advisers. In conjunction with their offices, the Head of Parliamentary Affairs will manage, guide and oversee the parliamentary work of the postholder.

The Parliamentary and Policy Researcher will be based with the Parliamentary Team. This is located at Lambeth Palace, London , SE1 7JU (within the Church of England's wider Faith and Public Life Team), and at Church House, Westminster, SW1P 3AZ. Some flexibility, including home working, is possible, though there is an expectation that the postholder be available to attend Westminster.

40% of the postholder's working time will be spent in support of the Bishop of Hereford, 40% in support of the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, and 20% in support of the Bishop of Coventry. Flexibility in the working pattern will be required, depending on the respective requirements of each, their commitments in the House of Lords, including duty weeks.

The work of the Bishops in the House of Lords is guided by their policy and local interests, as well as their status as religious leaders with a national profile. Both the Bishop of Hereford and the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham have a shared concern for issues affecting rural communities.
Policy interests:
- Bishop of Hereford: Rural Affairs & Agriculture, Science & Technology. He chairs the Rural Bishops' Group and the Remuneration and Conditions sub-committee of the Archbishops' Council. He also serves as Clerk of the Closet to His Majesty the King (heading up the Ecclesiastical Household).
- Bishop of Southwell & Nottingham: Defence and the Military, Children (with a particular interest on children in care, Marriage & Families, Health and Social Care, Mental Health.
- Bishop of Coventry: Gender/Equalities, Reconciliation, Disability
As such the post may be well suited to someone who has particular experience of or interest in these areas of policy.

From time to time the postholder may also be called upon to add capacity to the Parliamentary Team by providing resource to other Lords Spiritual on policy areas they have become familiar with in their work for the Bishops of Hereford, Southwell & Nottingham, and Coventry.

The postholder will need to have access to the Parliamentary Estate, so will be required to apply for a security pass sponsored by one of the employing Bishops, and will be expected to abide by the rules and codes set by Parliament that accompany the issuing of a pass. The postholder will also have access to the facilities offered to Lambeth Palace and other NCI staff, observing the responsibilities and protocols which apply to all.

The balance between parliamentary tasks and those that relate to the Bishops' diocesan roles is likely to vary depending on the parliamentary cycle.

Interviews will be held on 18/05/2026 in London.

Job title: Head of Co Production

Location: Working from home

SCIE Vision

We are committed to building a society which enables people who draw on social care to live fulfilling lives.

At the SCIE, we are driven by our values:

· Progressive – always learning and developing.

· Inclusive – working together for equality, diversity, and fairness.

· Credible – evidence-based, robust, and reliable.

· Transparent – open and honest.

· Committed - focused on making a difference to people’s lives.

The role:

We’re looking for a senior leader to make co-production the way we work — not a project, not a principle, but embedded practice across the organisation.

This is a high-impact role shaping how lived experience drives strategy, design, delivery, and decision-making. You’ll lead a specialist team, but your influence will stretch internally and externally.

You’ll be responsible for turning ambition into action — building a clear roadmap, strengthening capability, and ensuring co-production is consistent, credible, and genuinely embedded into our work.

You’ll lead the development and delivery of new co-production products and partnerships, generating income and strengthening our position as a sector leader in co-production practice.

What we are looking for:

Example as below

• Embedding co-production across the organisation so it becomes business-as-usual.

• Developing and delivering co-production products internally and externally and generating new income streams.

• Leading a bold roadmap for culture change and continuous improvement

• Influencing partners across social care and beyond.

• Strengthening governance, accountability, and consistency of practice

If you can help shift co-production from aspiration to reality — we want to hear from you.

What we offer in return:

We offer excellent staff benefits including a competitive salary and homeworking allowance. We provide an employer pension contribution above the statutory minimum, an award-winning employee assistance programme, and an attractive holiday package which rises with length of service. Benefits of working for SCIE can be found here Work for the Social Care Institute for Excellence - SCIE

If you would like to access the application form in a different format or if would like any assistance that might help improve your experience while completing the application, please contact us.

The Coach’s role will be to engage with our adult beneficiaries, supporting them to identify and achieve their aspirations for themselves and for their families.

Adopting a holistic, person-centred approach, she will support beneficiaries both to reach short term goals (through the delivery of Information, Advice and Guidance) and to develop the resources, skills and behaviours necessary to make longer term progress (through Coaching) across the five ‘pillars’ of our social mobility framework:

• ­ Employability 
• ­ Education 
• ­ Family stability 
• ­ Money management 
• ­ Resilience and well-being 

We currently have 3 Social Mobility Coaches on the team.  Whilst supporting women across all five pillars, each Coach has specific areas of responsibility, which may change from time to time.

Our work on brand strategy

We work with organisations helping to shape a better society, from improving school food and protecting children in war to conserving the ocean.

Our role is to help them express their value more clearly. The issue is not the strength of their work, but how they talk about it: the positioning is too broad, the language too abstract, or the message too full of jargon to connect.

That matters because our clients need to reach more than one audience. They may need to influence policymakers while also building trust with donors, partners, media and others around them.

We help clients define what sets them apart and turn that into a brand that people can understand and respond to. In practice, that means giving them language they can actually use in the policy world, not just something theoretical. It helps them speak about their work clearly and credibly, stand out from similar organisations, and stay on top of mind with the people who shape decisions, so they are better placed to influence policy.

The job

We want a creative brand strategist who treats a brand as a functional tool.

You will help clients, from think tanks to charities to research organisations, move beyond technical sector speak by building end-to-end strategies rooted in research but delivered with a unique voice. You will create the positioning statements and the overall brand architecture that give these organisations a distinct personality, building on their core values to make sure they feel authentic.

We want someone who won’t shy away from testing whether a client should be bold and authoritative, or lead with an emotional narrative to influence the right people. 

What we don’t want is someone comfortable with the bland stuff. We are not looking for someone who imposes their own idea of what a brand should be. The best brand work comes from listening closely to how clients describe what they do, helping them refine and articulate it, and shaping that into something clear and distinctive. The brands you create need to go beyond words; you will create a brand that helps clients live it in practice. 

What we are looking for: 

In addition to the above, you will have: 

• A background in running brand audits, including stakeholder interviews, competitor research, and workshops to identify where a brand sits now and where it needs to go.

• Skill in translating technical policy language into a clear, creative written brand strategy that a client’s communications and design teams can use.

• Confidence in turning strategy into actionable briefs for designers for visual identity development. 

• Experience serving as the main point of contact for clients, managing their expectations, and offering constructive pushback when necessary.

If you feel like you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, please don’t let that stop you. If you love the sound of this role and have a strong foundation in developing brand strategies, we would love to hear from you.

Note: This is an immediate hire. We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so please don't wait to apply.

It’s also worth saying that we want to hear your genuine voice, so please don’t use AI to write this. Not least because there will be lots of people who will use AI, and it’s always amusing for us when a bunch of very different people all write the same thing…!

Things to note

• You need to have permission to work in the U.K. already - we cannot sponsor visas for this role.

• We are an equal opportunities employer and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, class, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
