Charity fundraising officer jobs

About us

NCT is the national charity for pregnancy, birth, infant feeding and early parenthood.

Our vision is simple: a society where everyone who becomes a parent feels confident, connected and safe.

Through our For Every Parent strategy, we're working to make that vision a reality. We support parents with trusted information, practical help, local communities and a stronger voice in the issues that matter to families.

For 70 years, we've been by parents' sides through the excitement, uncertainty, wonder and challenges of becoming a parent. Today, our volunteers contribute more than 70,000 hours of community service each year, helping parents build friendships, find support and feel less alone.

We educate and empower parents with evidence-based information and support. We advocate and act by listening to parents' experiences, raising their voices and campaigning for change. No judgement. No exceptions.

Whether you're writing copy, creating an infographic or spotting a reactive content opportunity, you'll know how to create content that resonates with audiences and supports organisational goals.

You'll bring hands-on experience and strategic thinking when it comes to managing social media accounts for a brand, charity or values-led organisation, along with a strong understanding of what works across different platforms. You'll enjoy working at pace, balancing BAU activity with reactive comms, and using data and insight to continually improve your work.

We're looking for someone who is creative, proactive and collaborative, with excellent attention to detail and a passion for our sector. You'll be excited by the opportunity to take ownership of a role that combines two of your passions, with the autonomy to shape, deliver and continuously improve NCT's marketing.

You’ll bring:

• Significant, relevant experience developing and creating engaging content across multiple channels, including social, web, email and video.
• Strong experience managing social media channels for a brand, charity or values-led organisation, including planning and publishing.
• Excellent copywriting, editing and content production skills, with experience designing visuals and creating video content.
• Experience taking ownership of projects from brief to delivery, managing multiple priorities and working to deadlines.

Patient support delivered via the charity is designed to be clear, collaborative and patient‑centred, with charity staff working as one team to deliver high‑quality support tailored to each site.
