Charity events manager jobs

Are you passionate about helping people feel confident and connected, as well as building relationships across community, voluntary sector and research environments?

If so, you may be the Community Research & Engagement Associate we’re looking for.

We’re seeking a warm, organised, community-minded individual to support a growing programme of research, involvement, engagement and participation across Somerset’s voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector.

The role will support activity linked to Somerset’s Research Engagement Network (REN), Somerset Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC) and wider research, partnership and engagement activity across Spark Somerset.

The postholder will play an important role in helping strengthen connections between communities, VCFSE organisations and research partners, ensuring community voices and experiences help shape future research and engagement activity.

You don’t need to come from a traditional academic research background – if you have an interest in research, participation and community engagement, and understand how community insights and lived experience can help shape better services, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a fixed-term role, working approximately two days per week for six to seven months. The budget is £10,000 inclusive of VAT and costs such as travel and connectivity.

Location: Blended between office and home (England and Wales). Time in office negotiable

Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

The role
As Wales Insights Officer you will support efforts to achieve collective impact between our national organisation and the local Citizens Advice network across Wales. You will strengthen engagement, collaboration and collective communication, build insight from the network and colleagues across the national organisation and assess and report on the impact of collective actions across Wales.

This is an exploratory, fixed-term role, made possible by generous funding from the Moondance Foundation, offering an exciting opportunity to deliver impact for Citizens Advice work in Wales and deepen relationships and communication between local, regional and national levels to deliver on our shared mission.

In 2024, local offices in Wales came together to apply for and win regional and national grant funding from the Welsh Government - Advicelink Cymru (the Single Advice Fund) - a programme previously administered via the national organisation. This important success created an opportunity for reshaping the way that the national and local organisations work together, including work across regions, to engage with each other, deliver impact and avoid duplication.

Based within our Wales Team, this role offers critical additional capacity and experience to deliver on our ambitions to enhance the way we work together with the local network, add value, ensure efficient and coordinated actions, and ensure we are responsive to new and emerging opportunities to grow our impact. By building relationships, gathering feedback, insights and impact, and facilitating opportunities to work together we can provide meaningful opportunities to facilitate learning and deliver collective impact. This role will:

1. Support relationship building that strengthens our approach to working alongside the network in Wales on strategic priorities.
2. Work alongside the team to capture insights and opportunities arising from local practice and our work together and use this to build wider awareness, understanding and strengthened opportunities for collaboration
3. Use skills that enable you to assess, measure and support reporting on the impact of work together across Wales
4. With support from the team you will co-lead a programme of communication, activity and events - alongside the Wales network and relevant national communication and engagement teams - that build engagement, support our ambitions, and raise our profile in Wales with key stakeholders.

You will have a track record of building strong relationships, working across organisational boundaries, capturing and recording insight, and delivering strong communication and engagement in the context of local, regional or national charities.

We are looking for a highly skilled individual with strong relational and communication skills, curiosity, and ambition to achieve real change for people in Wales via Citizens Advice local and national work.

To apply
Please submit an anonymous CV and cover letter that demonstrates how you meet the following essential criteria:

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the proven ability to write and produce engaging communications.
• Experience of building strong relationships with the ability to grow and maintain working relationships with a wide range of geographically dispersed groups and individuals.
• Good experience of developing and using a range of different communication techniques, processes and procedures.
• Good experience of analysing engagement data from a range of tools (intranet, email, collaboration tools such as Slack).

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is of strategic importance within the organisation and recognised as integral to all we do as a service.

Central to pursuing our EDI mission is building diverse and inclusive teams in which everyone has a sense of belonging. We believe inclusion is a social justice issue - a principle that underpins our all EDI work. To that end, we particularly welcome applications from people we would like to see better represented in our organisation and sector - people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. We follow the social model of disability. We will offer an interview to disabled candidates who indicate they wish their application to be considered under our Disability Confident Interview Commitment where they meet our selection criteria in their application. Some of our roles attract a high volume of applications and in some circumstances where it is not practicable or appropriate, we may limit the number of interviews offered to disabled and non-disabled candidates. We will provide reasonable adjustments as needed.

We’re a flexible employer, so this role may suit anyone who’d prefer a flexible arrangement to help their work/life balance, many of our colleagues spend most of their time working remotely. Whilst we prefer a blended approach between a local office, if one is near you, and home we’re open to being flexible on location, occasionally a role may require you to be based in a certain location if that's the case it will be detailed in the advert or job description. This can be discussed in more detail during your interview.

The National Citizens Advice operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales.

Please be aware that Citizens Advice is not a sponsoring organisation. Therefore the successful applicant must already possess the right to work in the UK or be able to secure the right to work in the UK independently.

We have been awarded the top charity in Third sectors' employer index, where it's recognised that Citizens Advice is an organization that not only prioritizes the people we serve but also values the wellbeing of its employees.

Citizens Advice seeks to redeploy internal staff who are at risk or under notice of redundancy and will prioritise them in the recruitment process where necessary. If you have been confirmed as at risk or under notice of redundancy please ensure you indicate this in the at-risk box in your application.

Please note, in the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early.

This vacancy closes at 23.59 on the closing date.

Cyflwynwch CV dienw a llythyr eglurhaol sy'n dangos sut rydych chi'n bodloni'r meini prawf hanfodol canlynol:

2. Profiad o feithrin perthnasoedd cryf gyda'r gallu i dyfu a chynnal perthnasoedd gwaith gydag ystod eang o grwpiau ac unigolion sydd wedi'u gwasgaru'n ddaearyddol.

4. Profiad sylweddol o ddadansoddi data ymgysylltu o wahanol declynnau (mewnrwyd, e-bost, teclynnau cydweithio fel Slack).

Ein bwriad yw cynnal cyfweliadau yn ystod yr wythnos sy'n dechrau 29 Mehefin 2026 gyda'r opsiwn o gyfweliad wyneb yn wyneb yng Nghaerdydd, neu ar-lein.

Mae Tegwch, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant o bwysigrwydd strategol o fewn y sefydliad ac yn cael ei gydnabod fel rhan annatod o bopeth a wnawn fel gwasanaeth.

Yn ganolog i'n cenhadaeth Tegwch, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant mae adeiladu timau amrywiol a chynhwysol y mae pawb yn teimlo'n rhan ohonynt. Credwn fod cynhwysiant yn fater cyfiawnder cymdeithasol - egwyddor sy'n sail i'n holl waith Tegwch, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant. I'r perwyl hwnnw, rydym yn croesawu'n arbennig geisiadau gan bobl yr hoffem eu gweld yn cael eu cynrychioli'n well yn ein sefydliad a'n sector - pobl o liw, pobl LHDT+ a phobl anabl. Byddwn yn cynnig cyfweliad i ymgeiswyr anabl sy'n nodi eu bod yn dymuno i'w cais gael ei ystyried o dan ein Hymrwymiad Cyfweliad Hyderus o ran Anabledd lle maent yn bodloni ein meini prawf dethol yn eu cais. Mae rhai o'n rolau'n denu nifer fawr o geisiadau ac mewn rhai amgylchiadau lle nad yw'n ymarferol nac yn briodol, efallai y byddwn yn cyfyngu ar nifer y cyfweliadau a gynigir i ymgeiswyr anabl a rhai nad ydynt yn anabl. Byddwn yn darparu addasiadau rhesymol yn ôl yr angen. Rydym yn dilyn y model cymdeithasol o anabledd.

Rydym yn gyflogwr hyblyg, felly gallai'r rôl hon fod yn addas i unrhyw un sy'n well ganddo drefniant hyblyg i helpu eu cydbwysedd rhwng bywyd a gwaith – mae llawer o'n cydweithwyr yn treulio'r rhan fwyaf o'u hamser yn gweithio o bell. Er ein bod ni'n ffafrio dull cymysg rhwng swyddfa leol, os oes un yn agos atoch chi, a chartref, rydym yn agored i fod yn hyblyg o ran lleoliad, ond weithiau gall rôl olygu bod angen i chi fod wedi'ch lleoli mewn lleoliad penodol; os felly, bydd manylion yn cael eu cynnwys yn yr hysbyseb neu'r disgrifiad swydd. Gellir trafod hyn yn fanylach yn ystod eich cyfweliad.

Mae Cyngor ar Bopeth Cenedlaethol yn gweithredu o swyddfeydd yng Nghymru a Lloegr, gyda 4 swyddfa ranbarthol yng Nghaerdydd, Llundain, Birmingham a Leeds, felly rhaid i bob ymgeisydd llwyddiannus fod wedi'i leoli yng Nghymru neu Loegr.

Mae ein hymrwymiad i lesiant cydweithwyr yn cael ei adlewyrchu yn y ffaith ein bod wedi ennill Gwobr Aur yn y categori Iechyd a Llesiant, yn ogystal ag Enillwyr Cyffredinol, yng Ngwobrau Profiad Gweithwyr 2022.

Byddwch yn ymwybodol nad yw Cyngor ar Bopeth yn sefydliad sy'n noddi. Oherwydd hyn, rhaid bod gan yr ymgeisydd llwyddiannus yr hawl i weithio yn y DU eisoes neu allu sicrhau'r hawl i weithio yn y DU yn annibynnol

Rydym wedi ennill y wobr elusen orau ym mynegai cyflogwyr y Trydydd sector, gyda Cyngor ar Bopeth yn cael ei gydnabod fel sefydliad sydd nid yn unig yn blaenoriaethu'r bobl rydym yn eu gwasanaethu ond sydd hefyd yn rhoi pwyslais ar lesiant ei weithwyr.

Os bydd nifer uchel o geisiadau, rydym yn cadw'r hawl i gau'r broses gais yn gynnar.

Bydd y swydd wag hon yn cau am 23.59 ar y dyddiad cau.

Safer Recruitment

Depaul UK is committed to fair and inclusive recruitment, and we welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. If a role requires it under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, we will carry out the appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

As an integral member of the fundraising team, the Fundraising Administrator will support the delivery of a range of successful fundraising activity based around the centre, in order to maximise income for Maggie’s.

About Alzheimer's Society

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.  

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society. 

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people. 

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply. 

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.
