ABOUT UPREACH
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because, currently, a student from a disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.
To find out more about how we support our students, visit our website and read our Annual Report and Impact Report.
ROLE OVERVIEW
This is an exciting time to join upReach as we begin a new phase of our digital transformation. We are investing in the systems, tools and ways of working that will help us support more students, improve the experience of the upReach team, and deliver our mission more effectively.
We are looking for a thoughtful, organised and motivated Junior Digital Transformation Manager to join the Product Team and play an important role in turning this ambition into practical, lasting change.
Technology plays a central role in how we support students, collaborate with partners and operate as an organisation. Working with the Director of Product, colleagues in the Product Team and teams across upReach, you will help deliver our digital transformation strategy.
You will coordinate projects from initial discovery and planning through to implementation, training and continuous improvement. You will work closely with internal users, technology suppliers and other stakeholders to ensure digital changes are practical, inclusive, well-managed and aligned with organisational needs.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to significant organisation-wide projects at an early stage, helping to shape how upReach uses technology in the years ahead.
You do not need to have previously worked in a digital transformation role. You may have developed relevant experience through project coordination, operations, process improvement, technology implementation, product management or another role involving organisational change.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving how things work and helping people use technology confidently.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
You will support the delivery of upReach’s digital transformation strategy by helping teams adopt better tools, systems and ways of working, including the responsible use of AI.
Your responsibilities will include:
Coordinating the rollout and adoption of new digital tools, systems and AI-enabled solutions.
Supporting digital transformation projects from planning through to implementation and review.
Working with teams across upReach to understand their workflows, challenges and technology needs.
Identifying opportunities to use AI and automation to improve efficiency, quality and user experience.
Gathering and summarising feedback from users during testing, rollout and post-launch.
Creating clear guidance, process documentation and training materials.
Supporting colleagues to use new tools and AI responsibly, confidently and consistently.
Identifying opportunities to improve, simplify or connect systems and processes.
Monitoring how well new tools are working and recommending improvements.
Supporting relationships with external suppliers and technology partners.
You will take ownership of agreed areas of work, while receiving support from the Director of Product and other experienced colleagues.
SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
There is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those who may not have followed a traditional route into technology, project management or digital transformation.
We’re particularly interested in:
Curiosity about how organisations, systems and processes work.
A genuine interest in using technology to improve services and create social impact.
Thoughtful problem-solving and strong attention to detail.
The ability to organise work, plan ahead and manage multiple tasks.
Clear written and verbal communication across different audiences.
The ability to listen to users, understand their needs and represent their perspectives.
Confidence building constructive working relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders.
The ability to take ownership of work while seeking support when appropriate.
A practical and balanced approach to change, recognising that successful transformation depends on people and processes as well as technology.
You do not need previous experience as a Digital Transformation Manager. However, experience or familiarity with any of the following would be helpful:
Implementing or rolling out a new digital tool or system.
Supporting organisational change or encouraging people to adopt new ways of working.
Project management or project coordination.
Process mapping, service design or business analysis.
Gathering user feedback or conducting user research.
Testing digital systems or features.
Working with software suppliers, developers or technical teams.
Supporting procurement, supplier evaluation or contract management.
Developing or delivering training and guidance.
Agile, iterative or user-centred ways of working.
Understanding data protection, information security, accessibility or responsible technology considerations.
COMPETENCIES
Within upReach, the Junior Digital Transformation Manager is an equivalent level to a Junior Manager in other teams. This level involves you demonstrating more leadership capabilities. This includes having ownership of your responsibility area, and demonstrating an ability to informally lead and have positive influence on the wider team. We will be looking for you to demonstrate that you can plan ahead, proactively anticipate upcoming projects or challenges, and problem solve more independently.
upReach have created a Behaviours and Competency Framework to ensure the team have full visibility on the key capabilities required for effective performance, how these connect to our organisational values, and the level required for each band within the organisation.
Within the Product Team, we’ll support you to apply these behaviours and competencies to product management helping you to learn and develop your skills across four key areas:
Delivery & Execution – coordinating and delivering digital change, and solving problems
User Insight – understanding and representing the teams and people who use our systems
Transformation Strategy – thinking ahead, prioritising, and connecting systems and processes
Influencing People – working effectively with colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders to drive adoption
You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, build your confidence, and grow into greater responsibility over time. You’ll also have opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues and contribute to meaningful projects.
While you may not have experience in product management, we would expect you to be demonstrating most competencies at level 3 with some at Level 2.

For 50 years, SportsAid has been backing the next generation of athletes.
But we're only just getting started.
As we launch our new organisational strategy and celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're entering an exciting new chapter—one that will see us grow our impact, strengthen lifelong relationships with athletes and supporters, and build one of the UK's most engaged sporting communities.
We're looking for an ambitious and experienced fundraising leader to help make that happen.
Our Vision
From potential to personal best – whatever your story.
We want a future where talented athletes can pursue their ambitions, whatever their background, circumstances or income.
A future where talent is not lost because life gets in the way, and where support comes early, consistently and without conditions.
Our Mission
SportsAid exists to champion and support the next generation of athletes to fulfil their potential in sport and in life.
We invest early. We back ambition. We bring together partners, supporters and alumni to provide financial help, trusted guidance and belief—particularly at the moments when staying in sport becomes hardest.
For five decades, we have stood alongside athletes when success was uncertain and outcomes were unknown. Today, our ambition goes further.
We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. That's why we're strengthening support for athletes and families, amplifying athlete voices, building lifelong communities of athletes and alumni, and working with partners to create a sporting system where potential—not background—shapes opportunity.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a community fundraising role.
You'll lead the development of SportsAid's Community Fundraising & Engagement programme at a pivotal moment in our history, helping shape the future of one of the UK's most respected sports charities.
Working closely with the Head of Fundraising and Communications and as part of an ambitious leadership team, you'll develop and deliver a bold community fundraising strategy, grow sustainable unrestricted income and create outstanding supporter experiences that inspire people to back the next generation.
You'll also provide strategic leadership for our growing alumni engagement programme, ensuring former SportsAid athletes remain connected through mentoring, advocacy, storytelling, volunteering and fundraising.
Whether it's launching new fundraising products, growing challenge events, building partnerships with schools, clubs and communities, or developing innovative supporter journeys, you'll have the freedom to build something with lasting impact.
About You
You're someone who enjoys creating as much as delivering.
You combine strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach and know that exceptional fundraising is built on exceptional relationships.
You may currently be leading community fundraising, supporter engagement or individual giving within a charity and be looking for the opportunity to shape a programme with genuine national potential.
You'll bring:
· Significant experience developing successful community fundraising or supporter engagement programmes.
· A track record of growing sustainable income and building long-term supporter relationships.
· Experience leading people, developing strategy and delivering results.
· Strong commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset.
· Excellent relationship-building, influencing and communication skills.
· A passion for creating outstanding supporter experiences.
Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to build, innovate and help shape the future of SportsAid.
Why Join SportsAid?
There has never been a more exciting time to join us.
As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're investing in ambitious plans to expand our fundraising, strengthen lifelong relationships with athletes and supporters, and increase our impact across the UK.
You'll join an ambitious, collaborative and values-led organisation with an engaged Board, a supportive leadership team and colleagues who genuinely care about our mission.
We offer:
· Salary of £50,000–£55,000 (pro rata if 0.8 FTE)
· Home-based or hybrid working
· Flexible working arrangements
· Private healthcare
· Pension contribution
· Cycle to Work Scheme

Carers UK’s vision is to create a society that recognises, values and supports carers. As the leading national charity for unpaid carers, we exist to make life better for carers, however caring affects them. Our support, advice, information and campaigning work are now needed more than ever, as unpaid carers are providing more and more care, adversely impacting on their own health and wellbeing.
About the role
We recognise the value of social media in communicating with all our audiences; whether unpaid carers or their friends and families, employers, politicians, service providers, supporters and all those people who may become a carer for a partner, family member, friend or neighbour and will need information, support, and to know that there are people working to make their lives better.
This role works with colleagues across the organisation - but also in partnership with external organisations and agencies, with targets set for engagement (and other indicators of the success of our campaigns). We're working on multiple campaigns simultaneously; whether that's Carers Week, campaigns to influence changes to the law to better support carers, encouraging unpaid carers to join us as members, updating on activities in the devolved nations or getting people to fundraise for Carers UK. And we use a mix of owned, earned and paid communications to drive engagement in a challenging and crowded environment in order to get our messages to cut through. It's a busy, but varied role, in a supportive and collaborative team.
About you
Working within the communications and marketing team, you'll be confident in managing our social media accounts (we have many), ensuring we're using platforms to get our messages out to both wide and targeted audiences with engaging and timely content.
You'll be happy using tools for social listening, interacting with our audiences and building our reach. You'll be familiar with key metrics for social engagement and will be reporting back to colleagues and other stakeholders - and using this data to constantly improve our communications.
You'll be skilled in writing longer form content for our members' magazine, Caring, proof reading articles, posting content on our websites, creating graphics and making sure our content is engaging, audience focused and dynamic. Oh, and you probably know your way around an emoji set and are not scared of a well timed pun. We're a small but effective communications team and pride ourselves on getting stuck in and supporting each other when we need to deliver big on fast moving projects, so you'll need be able to juggle lots of demands while recognising the importance of always hitting deadlines.
Diversity and inclusion
Carers UK is committed to becoming a diverse and truly inclusive organisation; fostering an environment and working culture that celebrates and promotes diversity and inclusion. We strive to create a workplace where our colleagues and volunteers can truly be themselves and feel like they belong and constantly seek to ensure all voices are heard.
To embrace this culture of diversity, our employee and volunteer recruitment should reflect our stakeholders and the society that we serve and support, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, disabilities or religious practices. We value individual diversity and are actively building diverse teams here at Carers UK and value our colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.
As a membership charity for carers, we particularly seek employees and volunteers with a real understanding of the issues faced by carers. Reasonable adjustments can be made to the process and role, dependent on the needs of the applicant.
