Community team manager jobs
About the role
Our Mentoring Service Coordinator plays a central role in ensuring that our mentoring support for serving personnel, veterans and families runs smoothly, safely and effectively every day.
This is a key operational position at the heart of our mentoring pathway — the first point of contact for enquiries, a reliable source for guiding cases through the system, and the person ensuring that quality, consistency and safeguarding remain at the forefront of everything we do.
This role is vital in coordinating the entire volunteer journey – from recruitment and onboarding through to training, compliance and offboarding – ensuring every mentor enjoys a positive, well‑supported and consistent experience throughout their time with the service.
You will act on behalf of the Service Manager in day‑to‑day operations and during periods of absence, ensuring continuity and confidence across the service.
About the Team
You will be joining a small, well‑established, and dedicated team covering the whole of the UK. With regular team meetings and a range of communication channels, you will receive ongoing support, training, and mentoring. Although we operate remotely, we are a closely connected team whose collaboration, commitment, and shared purpose drive our success.
About you
You’ll be confident working with sensitive, complex and sometimes emotional situations, drawing on sound knowledge of safeguarding, confidentiality and GDPR to ensure every interaction is handled safely and appropriately. Accuracy matters in this role, so you’ll take pride in maintaining high‑quality data and applying robust quality‑assurance processes to support safe, consistent service delivery.
You will have used Microsoft Office 365 to a high standard. It is important that you have experience of planning and managing your own workload, with minimal supervision.
You’ll have experience of working with volunteers or volunteering yourself, and understand what good volunteer practice looks like — from recruitment and induction through to ongoing support, management and recognition. Strong communication skills will enable you to build positive relationships with a wide range of people, whether internal colleagues, external partners, beneficiaries or volunteers.
There will be some travel required and therefore you will need to be able to drive and have access to your own car.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
What we're building
Level Water exists to solve a problem that shouldn’t exist: too many disabled children are still missing out on high-quality swimming lessons.
Last year, our swimmers raised over £1m. This year we’ve sold out events in minutes and want to double the fundraising. We’re on the path to exponential growth and we need someone who can help us get there.
We're Level Water, a founder-led charity solving learn-to-swim for disabled children. We're not your typical charity. We own our events and run them like a business. We move fast, test everything, and we're building something that doesn't exist anywhere else. Our events are uniquely profitable, and we reinvest in quality and growth.
We've just brought in a new Fundraising Director, and this Marketing role is a cornerstone of the team we're building. If you want to help define how a modern charity grows and does marketing, this is your chance.
The opportunity
This isn't a "post on social and send a newsletter" role. This is a “build something exceptional, then grow it” role. Marketing is at the heart of our flywheel, which means you’ll be integral to everything we are doing at Level Water.
You'll own marketing strategy and execution across our entire operation: our iconic events, our life-changing swimming programmes, and our reputation as a charity. You'll drive growth, tell stories that matter, and build genuine communities that scale.
You'll have the freedom to experiment. Want to test a new channel? Launch a content series? Build a creator programme? Run paid campaigns that actually convert? Brilliant. Build the business case and let's do it.
You'll work with real impact. Children with disabilities are learning to swim because of us. Families are transformed by our lessons. Volunteers and incredible teachers make it happen. These are stories that deserve to be told brilliantly, and you'll be the one telling them.
This role is 80% growth and 20% impact storytelling, but the two are inseparable. We’re product-led and we launch and test often. Great stories fuel growth. Growth creates more stories. You'll understand that tension and thrive in it.
You'll work closely with our Fundraising Director and CEO to scale marketing as our most powerful growth lever. You'll also manage a network of brilliant freelancers (photographers, videographers, copywriters, designers) to help you execute at the highest level.
And you'll grow with us. We're scaling fast, and we need people who can scale with us.
This is a mission-critical role in driving Level Water's growth. Every event you sell out, every story you tell, every audience you build helps unlock more funded swimming lessons, bringing us closer to a future where every disabled child can have a great swimming lesson with a confident, qualified teacher.
Marketing at Level Water isn’t just about selling events - it’s a core delivery mechanism in our Theory of Change. This role exists to move the levers that unlock more lessons, faster progression, stronger outcomes, and a sustainable income engine that funds it all.
This is the most exciting marketing job in the charity sector for the right person.
What you'll actually do
This role owns marketing as a growth engine. You'll set strategy, drive execution across multiple channels, and be accountable for how marketing translates into event sign-ups, fundraising growth, profile, and impact. You'll work closely with the Fundraising Director to shape priorities, influence decisions, and build something that scales.
Drive growth marketing that converts
-
Own end-to-end marketing for our events portfolio: from launch campaigns to sell-out.
-
Build and execute multi-channel campaigns across social, email, paid ads, PR, partnerships, and whatever else works.
-
Test everything. Audiences, messages, creative, channels. Find what works, double down, and scale it.
-
Use data to spot opportunities: which channels are converting? Where are we leaving growth on the table? What could we do differently?
-
Manage our digital advertising and paid social strategy with a ruthless focus on ROI.
-
Grow our email database and social audiences with intent, not just for vanity metrics.
-
Be trusted to repeatedly turn £1 into £5 or £10.
-
Define and unleash our audiences: help them share their stories in a way that turns experiences into future sales, and makes everything that Level Water does easier.
-
Build and manage our captain and ambassador programmes as genuine growth engines - nurturing relationships, setting expectations, and turning influence into measurable impact.
-
Proactively convert interest into action. This includes direct outreach (e.g. picking up the phone to captains, engaging top fundraisers, activating ambassadors) to ensure intent turns into ticket sales and fundraising.
Tell stories that build belief
-
Find, shape, and share the stories that show our impact: the children, the families, the teachers, the moments that matter.
-
Build and curate a library of content (video, photography, case studies, testimonials) that we can use everywhere.
-
Work with freelance photographers and videographers to capture our events and programmes at their best.
-
Create content that our supporters, partners, and prospects actually want to engage with, not just content that ticks a box.
-
Manage our website (fundraising, events, and programmes pages) to ensure it's always up to date, compelling, and optimised for conversion.
-
Ensure our impact reporting to donors is rich with content about our work.
-
Use storytelling internally to build shared understanding, momentum and belief across the charity as we scale.
Build our profile and partnerships
-
Position Level Water as a leader in accessible swimming and outdoor challenge events.
-
Build and leverage relationships with press, influencers, local authorities, and stakeholders.
-
Identify partnership and sponsorship opportunities that align with our mission and drive growth.
-
Amplify examples of inclusion within our pools, making them known and also making inclusive practice visible.
-
Promote our swimming pool partners and recognise their contribution to our work.
Manage, measure, and improve
-
Own the marketing budget and get maximum value from every pound spent.
-
Manage our freelance network: scope projects, review proposals, and ensure quality work on time and on budget.
-
Report regularly on what's working and what's not: campaign performance, audience growth, conversion rates, ROI.
-
Stay ahead of the curve: what are the best organisations doing? What can we learn and adapt?
Who we're looking for
We care much more about how you work than where you've worked. You don't need charity sector experience .

Here's what we'd love to know:
1. How you'd approach marketing growth:
Imagine we want to double sign-ups for one of our summer events (currently sitting at 500 swimmers). Walk us through your approach: which channels would you use, what would your messaging be, how would you measure success, and what would you test first?
2. What excites you about this role:
Tell us why this opportunity appeals to you specifically.
3. Something you're proud of:
Share one thing you've built, grown, or improved. Doesn't have to be in charity or even at work, it could be anything that shows your drive and ability to make things happen.
