Engagement jobs

Endometriosis UK is the leading UK charity supporting those living with endometriosis. Formed in 1981, we offer information and support, for example through our website, information leaflets and webinars, and via our local support groups, Helplines and online forum.  As well as directly supporting those with endometriosis, we work to raise awareness of endometriosis amongst healthcare professionals, the public and the media; lobby for improved diagnosis, treatment and management; and support research. We have a big job to do and ambitious plans.

We are looking for an experienced Policy and Campaigns Manager to manage our policy and campaigning work. You will have a strong understanding of the UK political system and how to influence it, and will be confident in drafting reports, consultation responses and working with and disseminating data. You will have worked on health policy before, and will have strong knowledge of how to influence health policy at local and national level.
You must be pro-active in your approach to monitoring the external environment and seeking out opportunities for Endometriosis UK to have the most influence. You’ll be able to work in a small team and understand how we can make the most impact with our limited capacity.

You will be passionate about menstrual health and ensuring patient voices are at the heart of all we deliver, and will be able to turn policy asks into strong campaigns.

 About the role:

This is a pivotal role in our Campaigns and Communications Team, reporting to the Head of Campaigns and Communications. You will be managing the drafting of evidenced-based policy positions (for example analysing research, data and lived experience insight) and work with the Head of Campaigns and Communications to ensure these are translated into effective campaigning activity that drives real change.

You will oversee the integration of policy and campaigns activity, working closely with the Campaigns and Policy Officer, and enabling the Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team to engage with parliamentary and high-level stakeholder engagement.

This role offers a great opportunity for an experienced Policy and Campaigns Manager to shape how Endometriosis UK uses evidence, policy and campaigning together to improve diagnosis times, access to treatment, and support for those affected by menstrual health conditions across the UK.

Ready to turn passion into action? Jesuit Missions is seeking a bold, creative campaigner to lead our advocacy and campaigns for global justice. You’ll design inspiring, people-powered campaigns rooted in the lived experience of communities in the global South, motivating people across Britain to act for real change. Working with schools, parishes, and young adult networks, you’ll spark meaningful engagement and deliver dynamic events. You’ll build strong partnerships and amplify voices from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. By mobilising faith-based and public support, you’ll challenge injustice and tackle the root causes of poverty. If you’re imaginative, driven, and ready to empower others, join us and help change the world.

University of Oxford

Location: Oxford, UK with some hybrid working options

Permanent and full-time role

Salary: Grade 8 role with a salary range of £49,119 - £58,265 pa, with possible extension to £65,336 (including an Oxford University Weighting of £1,730 per year, pro rata)

Have you ever wondered how the universe was first formed – or how the Earth works today, from earthquakes and volcanoes to climate systems and oceans? What about how technology and AI will change the world of the future – from healthcare diagnostics and drug discovery, to the next generations of batteries, cleaner energy, and resilient infrastructure?

The University of Oxford’s nine academic departments within MPLS span the full spectrum of the mathematical, computational, physical, engineering and life sciences, and undertake both fundamental research and cutting-edge applied work. Research in MPLS tackles major societal and technological challenges – whether developing new energy solutions or improving cancer treatments, understanding climate change processes, or helping to preserve biodiversity.

The Division is proud to be the home of some of the most creative and innovative scientific thinkers and leaders. As Senior Development Executive, you would deliver philanthropic support that helps to fund breakthroughs in this research and exploration, that will have a positive impact on the world we live in and beyond.  Oxford will shortly be embarking on the public phase of a multi-billion campaign – the most ambitious in higher education outside North America, so this opportunity comes up at a career defining moment in the UK.  If this sounds like the kind of challenge you’ve been looking for, please read on.

The opportunity
Philanthropy has played a key role in enabling the ambitions of the MPLS Division and wider University, and we are seeking a talented fundraiser who is excited by the opportunity to raise money to support ground-breaking academics and research tackling the world’s hardest challenges, and enabling talented students from all backgrounds to study at Oxford.  This could be your opportunity to help the brightest students, academics and researchers develop solutions that protect and improve our lives on this planet and beyond.

Working closely with the Head of Development – MPLS, as well as some of the most inspiring scientists in the world, you will forge relationships with existing and new donors.  You will have the support of excellent colleagues across the sciences at Oxford as well as the wider Development & Alumni Engagement office – the leading higher education fundraising team outside North America.

About you
You are an accomplished philanthropic fundraiser with a proven track record of securing major gifts and a confident and collegiate approach to achieving results. Creative, strategic and relationship-driven, you bring the ability to engage, inspire and influence donors, enabling you to be successful in major gift fundraising in the £100k–£1m+ range across individuals, trusts and corporate partners.

You will play a central role in building and stewarding meaningful relationships, working closely with a diverse community of donors and collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders across the MPLS Division. Your success is underpinned by your:

• strong record of quickly establishing credibility and trust with senior internal and external stakeholders;
• intellectual curiosity and an active interest in the world around you;
• collaborative mindset, combined with an entrepreneurial and proactive approach;
• ability to work confidently in the detail while maintaining a clear focus on strategic objectives; and
• high emotional intelligence and excellent interpersonal skills, enabling you to connect with people from all backgrounds.

An interest in science is essential, but you do not need an academic or professional background in the field. Above all, we are seeking a passionate advocate for philanthropy – who believes in the impact it can have, knows and implements best practices to achieve results, AND is motivated to enable world-changing discoveries.

In return
Your happiness and wellbeing at work matters to us, so we offer a range of family friendly and financial benefits including:

· Flexible hybrid working

· An excellent contributory pension scheme

· 38 days annual leave

· Training and development opportunities

· Membership of CASE
