From front pages of national newspapers to regular TV and radio appearances, our highly successful press team plays a vital role in raising the profile of Diabetes UK. We secure coverage that talks frankly about the diabetes crisis and the seriousness of diabetes. We tell the story of Diabetes UK’s pioneering research, campaign for improvements in diabetes care, and share the stories of those with lived experience of all types of diabetes.

As Media Officer, you’ll be part of a busy, high-performing media team. You’ll collaborate with teams across the organisation, with a key focus on our fundraising and events activities. You’ll also play a key role in our busy press office, working with regional, national, trade and consumer media to provide expert comment and information.

We’re looking for a strategic, creative and collaborative Head of Brand and Marketing to lead our public identity, supporter engagement and campaign visibility. This is a key leadership role responsible for shaping how we present our work, grow our profile and inspire support for people affected by serious and life changing injury.

This role will lead the work to shape and strengthen the Day One brand, ensuring it is consistent, inclusive and compelling across every touchpoint, from national fundraising campaigns to service information. Responsible for leading and developing a small, talented team creating a supportive environment where creativity and collaboration thrive.

This role blends high-level strategic planning with practical delivery leadership ideal for someone who thrives in purpose-led environments and wants to build a brand that truly makes a difference.

What You Will Bring 

You’ll bring experience in brand and marketing that goes beyond delivery with a track record of shaping how an organisation is seen, understood and supported. That might be from the charity sector, or from campaigns that focused on health, justice or hidden disabilities. You may have worked on sensitive storytelling, built public trust, or led bold campaigns that asked people to think differently. 

Or you might bring experience from a commercial or corporate brand environment with a strong sense of audience insight, creative direction and campaign strategy and a desire to apply that thinking to a cause with real impact. 

Wherever you come from, you’ll understand the value of a trusted brand and how powerful it can be when it's clear, consistent and human. You’ll be stepping into a space where strong foundations already exist and bringing the skills, energy and confidence to help us go further. To strengthen how Day One Trauma Support shows up, build our reach, and grow a brand that truly reflects who we are and the difference we make.

This is a highly collaborative role requiring creativity, strategic thinking and excellent communication skills.

People’s Health Trust is a national charity working with local communities across Great Britain to stop people dying too young, help them live longer, healthier lives and make health equal.

Life expectancy rose for a hundred years, but in the last decade it has gone backwards — with the steepest declines in the most disadvantaged areas. Across Great Britain, people in these neighbourhoods die up to 13 years earlier than those in the wealthiest places.  These inequalities are driven by changeable factors such as poor housing, low-paid work, and limited access to good education, clean air and natural spaces. People’s Health Trust exists to end this unfairness and ensure everyone has the chance to live a long, healthy life.

Our work focuses on:

• programmes supporting people living in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods to address the conditions that make them unwell — from poor housing and limited access to advice services, to a lack of natural space and pathways into good work.
• using data, evidence and community expertise to design solutions, not just restate problems. Our work improves health and wellbeing from cradle to retirement.
• our lived experience network – made up of over 600 grassroots leaders from across England, Scotland and Wales – works directly with us to share evidence of the impact that poor housing, low income, poor jobs and poor education have on the lives of their communities, as well as timely and cost-effective solutions.

With a strong interest in social justice, the Director of Finance will be a member of the Leadership Team responsible for ensuring the Trust’s financial viability and statutory compliance, along with providing strategic oversight of performance management and robust risk management to safeguard the Trust’s long-term sustainability.

A qualified accountant, you will be skilled in the development and implementation of financial strategies to manage, safeguard and maximise income and have direct experience of managing financial processes and controls, including preparing management accounts. You will also have direct experience of managing organisational progress against strategic objectives and direct experience of charity or corporate governance, including risk management.

We are committed to being a Disability Confident Employer. Our diversity data shows that we are currently under-represented by certain groups of people. We particularly encourage applications from people from racially minoritised communities, disabled people and people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

If this sounds like the role you are looking for and you feel you have the skills and experience we need, full details of the role and how to apply are at the link above.

Please get in touch if you require any additional support with your job application. This particularly applies to people who need us to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010. This could include, but is not limited to, accepting applications in a different format, offering information or explanations in a way which helps you, or working with BSL interpreters.
