Advocacy campaign manager jobs

WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night's sleep, and the chance to thrive at school. 

In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 17,000 bed bundles to children to date!

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As we grow, we are looking to recruit a Policy & Advocacy Manager to join the Communications team.

As our ideal candidate you will need to be in commuting distance to our Leeds warehouse, meaning you can travel regularly to meet with the team. This is a hybrid role based between the Leeds warehouse and home, and regular travel to other locations will be required to attend meetings, conferences and other such activities related to policy and advocacy. As such, you will need to have a full UK driving license and access to your own car.

You will be someone who has strong experience in the field of policy and advocacy, with a proven track-record of engaging and influencing a range of external audiences and political stakeholders, such as MPs and councillors.

Alongside your relevant skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience in a charity/NGO or social policy sector, due to some of the specialities that come with this. However, charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date. 

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting at £20,400 with progression up to £22,800 p/a (£34,000 - £38,000 FTE)

• 28 days, plus Bank Holidays (prorated for part-time work)

• Healthcare Cash Plan

• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award

• A great working environment! One of our colleagues described us as- “Zarach is a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do” 

To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our website and the coverage of us across social media. 

At the Bone Cancer Research Trust, we’re looking for a Marketing & Communications Manager to lead bold, impactful marketing and communications to raise awareness of primary bone cancer, strengthen our brand, grow fundraising, and position the charity as a trusted voice for patients, families, and the wider community.

This is an opportunity to help amplify the voices of the bone cancer community and ensure they feel seen, heard, and understood.

You’ll build strong relationships across our community, from patients, families, and supporters to researchers and healthcare professionals. You’ll create opportunities for them to shape what we say and how we communicate, guided by insight, data, and lived experience to drive change.

You’ll be instrumental in a small but ambitious team delivering meaningful impact. You’ll bring creativity, empathy, and energy to designing and delivering marketing and communications rooted in real experiences and a shared purpose, helping our community feel part of the impact we make together.

Informal interviews will be w/c 6th July. If you are successful to the second stage, interviews will take place on 14th July.

Leukaemia UK – Our Charity

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) works to support the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom, justice and equality and against apartheid, military occupation and colonisation. A democratic, member-led organisation, we are the largest organisation in Britain dedicated to securing Palestinian rights. We aim to create mainstream pressure to change the policies of the UK government and to indirectly place pressure on the Israeli government to end its oppression of the Palestinian people. We support the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) until Israel complies with international law and ceases its violations of the rights of the Palestinian people.

The Director provides executive and public leadership of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, harnessing the skills and energy of our elected Executive Committee, network of over 100 branches, staff team, members and supporters to ensure effective and impactful campaigns for Palestine. The Director of PSC holds ultimate executive responsibility for the achievement of our objectives in line with our stated values and policies agreed through our democratic structures.

The Director leads the organisation through a senior team of three Deputy Directors and is responsible for the overall impact, performance and culture of PSC. They will be confident in representing PSC to a variety of stakeholders, including but not limited to members and supporters, politicians, national media, and large crowds. They will defend and advance PSC’s values, aims and campaigns with conviction, judgement, humanity and authority.

Over the past two years PSC has grown rapidly in size, profile and resources. A central task of the next Director is to maintain that growth and convert it into a deeper and more durable impact for advancing the cause of Palestinian liberation. This will involve steadying the organisation and deepening its foundations for controlled but ambitious growth in a context where the rights and lives of Palestinians are increasingly threatened and violated, and operating in a UK political environment that remains largely hostile to the Palestinian cause.

A strong commitment to PSC’s aims, a clear understanding of the key issues related to the situation in Palestine, and a demonstrable commitment to anti racism and equality are essential.
