Our campaigns push for change on the issues that matter to women and their communities, from equal pay to climate change, mental health and violence against women. The WI has brought about real change, and this record of action shows that we are as relevant today as we were in 1915.

The National Federation of Women’s Institutes (the NFWI) is responsible for running the organisation and provides support and advice to members at both regional and local levels.

About the role

Leading innovation across the organisation, you will be responsible for developing and delivering a strategy to grow our movement, to increase our membership and reach whilst ensuring we continue to reflect the needs and aspirations of women. You will oversee research into women’s evolving needs and preferences, whilst testing approaches with new external audiences to maximise our relevance, diversity and inclusivity. At the same time, you will actively embed innovation into strategy and decision-making in all areas, constantly find new ways to reach underrepresented women and build a wealth of data to support your recommendations. You will lead transformation across the organisation by championing change, creativity and a forward-thinking strategy that ensures the continued growth for the WI.

The role requires excellent communication skills and the confidence to advise and lead at both senior leadership and Board level, as the organisation looks to you to lead fundamental organisational change.

About The Role
What if a brand marketing campaign could make more people aware that dementia is the UK’s biggest killer? Encourage someone caring for a loved one with dementia to seek support? Or inspire more people to use their voice and help make dementia a public priority?
That’s the kind of difference your work could make as Marketing Manager (Brand) at Alzheimer’s Society.
You’ll join our Brand Marketing team at an exciting time. Following the success of campaigns including The Ultimate Vow, The Long Goodbye and, currently, A Personal Appeal, we’re on a mission to grow the public’s awareness of dementia and Alzheimer’s Society’s unique role in tackling the devastation of this disease.
You’ll work alongside the Senior Marketing Manager (Brand) to deliver the next advert in the A Personal Appeal series, develop strategic, innovative brand activations and partnerships and help shape where our brand goes next.

In this role, you’ll help us do exactly that.
Contract: This is a fixed-term contract until October 2027
Interviews: Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 16th September via MS Teams
What you'll do
You’ll help develop brand campaigns, activations and partnerships from an initial idea through to testing, creative execution and delivery across a range of channels.

- Help shape our brand strategy and make sure everything we produce feels consistent, relevant and inclusive.
- Manage significant budgets, making thoughtful decisions about where our investment can have the greatest impact.
- Consult on the strategic and creative development of key fundraising products, finding opportunities to connect our brand and fundraising activity.Line manage and support the Senior Marketing Executive (Brand), helping them develop and grow in their role.
- Deputise for the Senior Marketing Manager (Brand) when needed.

Some days will involve big ideas and inspiring creative conversations. Others will be about budgets, timelines, analysing data and getting the small details just right. You’ll need to be comfortable with both sides of this coin, while keeping sight of why this work matters to our audiences.
About you
You’ll be a confident and thoughtful marketer who understands what makes a strong brand - and how good marketing can help an organisation connect with more people and achieve its goals.
You might have developed your skills in a charity, agency, commercial organisation or somewhere completely different. What matters is what you can bring to the role, the way you work with others and your motivation to create work that truly makes a difference.
We’re looking for someone who can:

- Lead and project manage large-scale, successful, multi-channel campaigns, balancing competing priorities and keeping delivery on track to tight deadlines.
- Develop and deliver multi-channel paid media strategies, using insights and performance data to make informed decisions.

- Understand how brand marketing can build trust, awareness and engagement to support a charity’s wider goals.
- Use research, data and insights to understand what matters to people, translating learnings into compelling brand campaigns and partnerships.

You’ll be comfortable bringing both creative flair and analytical thinking to your work. You’ll be organised, curious and able to manage your own workload, while also knowing when to involve others or ask for support.
Most importantly, you’ll care deeply about the work you produce and the people it’s reaching.
We value different perspectives, backgrounds and ways of thinking, and we know there are many different routes into a role like this.
If you can see yourself doing this role but don’t meet every single requirement, please don’t let that stop you from applying. We’d love to hear from you.

The purpose of this role is to lead the design and delivery of learning programmes that help social entrepreneurs create lasting impact. You’ll take direct responsibility for facilitating cohorts as well as leading 1-2-1 coaching and diagnostics, and delivering Action Learning Sets, SSE’s long-standing peer-coaching method (training provided). You’ll hold accountability for the quality of programmes allocated to you. You’ll work alongside our learning facilitators and our learning and enterprise development managers to ensure every programme stays true to our action learning approach.

As SSE deepens its focus on commercial acumen and scale-up support, you’ll help make sure that direction reaches every cohort you work with — keeping your programmes as sharp, practical and impactful as everything else we do.

You’ll hold ownership of SSE’s scale-up approach, shaping our learning content on strategy, profitability and the systems that hold a growing venture together – grounded in what actually works, not just what’s written down. Facilitation sits at the heart of this role. You’ll design and deliver learning programmes and group sessions for cohorts of entrepreneurs as well as leading 1-2-1 coaching and diagnostics, and delivering Action Learning Sets, SSE’s long-standing peer-coaching method (training provided).

We’re looking for people who’ve founded or led a VCSE with an annual turnover of £100,000 or more and held financial accountability such as statutory reporting to the Charity Commission and, where relevant, Companies House, reporting to a board or funders, and making hard calls about growth, income and risk.

You’ll succeed in this role if you believe in what social entrepreneurship can achieve and want to turn your experience into supporting social ventures to scale and create more impact in their communities and beyond

We are recruiting an Events Officer to support the development, coordination and delivery of the Trust’s events programme, with the aim to engage our supporters, reach new audiences and generate new income streams.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, committed, creative and well organised person with experience of planning, promoting and delivering engaging programmes, with a dynamic and innovative approach, who has a strong ability to collaborate with others to deliver a shared aim.

Are you looking for a life mission and a rewarding career where you can help find ways of tackling social and environmental problems in the UK and globally? Do you want to change the world and people’s lives? 

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who are intellectually curious and understand the value of how collaborative design, flexible delivery and clear accountability can contribute to achieving a positive social, health and environmental impact.

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is a mission-driven not-for-profit social enterprise. We work with Government, community groups and specialist partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from education and wellbeing to housing, employment and environmental protection.

Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is a not-for-profit subsidiary of Bridges Fund Management, a specialist impact-driven fund manager. Over the last decade, we have had the privilege of working on 100+ outcomes contracts, supporting over 1,400,000 people, delivering £200m+ worth of outcomes across the globe and creating £1.9bn+ of public value in the UK

There is a strong case for expanding Social Outcomes Partnerships in the UK and other high-income countries: Needs in our communities are increasingly complex and interconnected. Traditional service provision and delivery often struggle to tackle wicked social problems. There has been an unprecedented rise in referrals to children social care, populations who are experiencing homelessness, people managing multiple chronic conditions, facing domestic abuse challenges in their households, and many other multi-faceted issues. Public resources are stretched – making long-term holistic funding for comprehensive services challenging. Traditional input-based models often fail to improve lives of communities and achieve poor value for public money. This is why Social Outcomes Partnerships can be part of the solution – offering holistic, localised, and personalised solutions with our communities. With more than fifteen years of experience, Bridges Outcomes Partnerships can play a role in galvanising more outcomes-based approaches, creating long-term impact through accountability, collaborative design, and flexible delivery while achieving better value for money for outcomes payers.

The role of Bridges Outcomes Partnerships spans project development (working with outcome funders and others to design and launch the delivery), partnership coordination, project and delivery management (coordinating the delivery phase and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (sourcing social investment to fund the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments). Our own funding comes from a group of pioneering social investors, including The Office for Civil Society, Better Society Capital, UBS Optimus Foundation, Pilotlight, Trust for London, who, like us, are motivated by improving lives and changing the system for the better.

In the year to come, we are focused on growing our direct and systemic impact nationally and internationally, and we are incredibly excited about your help on this journey!

We would love to hear from you if you are:

· Curious, analytical, highly numerate, and great at solving problems 

· Exceptional at building strong working relationships with team members and across a range of stakeholders

· Flexible and adaptable team player with a can-do attitude

· Able to undertake a variety of activities with a substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy

About the opportunity:

We are looking for someone exceptional to join our team as we build new projects and partnerships.

As a Social Investment Manager, you will work on the outcomes contracts activity in both the UK and other high-income countries. You will develop new projects and partnerships along with ongoing management of the existing portfolio.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll do:

> Initiate and execute the development of outcomes partnerships opportunities: Identifying and engaging with challenges faced by central and local government and delivery partners to develop impactful delivery models which tackle those challenges.

> Lead on the implementation of a full project lifecycle of an outcomes-based project and a portfolio of outcomes partnerships, including tasks such as leading on initial assessment and investment processes in project development, developing outcome contract models, leading operational and financial analysis, managing complete legal negotiations and documentation processes.

> Innovating in our delivery: Proactively engaging with key stakeholders to develop and implement delivery innovations while considering any key assumptions around operations, impact, and finance; supporting teams to solve problems using first principles. This includes working with delivery partners to help create the best possible impact in sustainable ways, by identifying issues and opportunities, initiating projects, and developing delivery innovations.

> Creating and maintaining excellent stakeholder relationships: Engage in strong rapport-building with commissioners, outcome funders, and delivery partner teams; identify best delivery team structure for our internal operational teams; and contribute to social investor meetings to present project and market development activities.

Key attributes we are looking for:

> A genuine passion to drive social change: We are constantly searching for new ways to dramatically change the status quo. This requires someone with excellent attention to detail and who will demonstrate the ability to lead on impact and value creation.

> Ability to deliver more than the system expects: We believe that more is possible than the current system is achieving, and we need to demonstrate this in practice. This requires tenacity and relentless optimism.

> Ability to think differently: We will not succeed by copying existing models or structures. Our projects and investments all require the team to think through each problem from first principles and find the most effective and efficient new solution in each case. This requires logic, analytical rigour, and a willingness to question assumptions. It also requires the desire to work in a dynamic environment, along with the ability to be solutions-focused and work in a small team.

> Ability to build and maintain trust: We aim for the edge of what we believe is possible, from ourselves and our partners; this can only be achieved through mutual trust. Everything we do must be open to scrutiny and full transparency. This requires excellent interpersonal skills and absolute integrity.

>  A self-starter comfortable working through complexity and co-ordinating diverse sets of stakeholders against tight deadlines and competing priorities.

Suitable candidates will have:

> 7+ years of experience working in social investment, financial and senior operational roles within the VCSE sector, management consulting, public sector delivery, or similar sectors.

> Excellent financial and modelling skills, with extensive experience in supporting the development of comprehensive business/financial plans.

> Strong delivery and investment, advisory and/or operational track record.

> Higher degree level education or equivalent experience.

> Exceptional interpersonal skills, adept at working with multiple stakeholders.

> Experience supporting the development of comprehensive value creation strategies.

> Strong strategic, commercial and entrepreneurial judgement.

> Experience of working with government partners to develop social change projects is desirable.

> Experience of the social sector is desirable.

> Experience of impact investing is desirable.

> Experience working on projects tackling developmental challenges, preferably in areas like education, health and employment is desirable.

> Dutch language skills are desirable (as this role is anticipated to work on an outcomes partnerships in the Netherlands).

 About Alexandra Rose Charity 

We should all be able to eat healthy food. But right now, healthy options cost more than twice as much as junk food. It’s getting harder and harder for people to put good food on the table. In fact, the poorest fifth of UK households would need to spend 50% of their disposable income to eat the UK Government’s recommended healthy diet. Access to a choice of high quality, culturally appropriate fruit & veg is an essential building block for our mental and physical health. We need to put this right. 

We’re on a mission to give people access to their choice of fresh fruit & veg, in the heart of their community. At Alexandra Rose, we are proud to deliver a mix of practical, place-based projects and national advocacy to shape a fairer future, where everyone can afford and enjoy fresh fruit & veg with dignity. 

If this aligns with how you see the world, and you want to use your skills and experience to help us build towards it, you’ll feel at home here.
