• Coordinate the collection and use of data, learning and lived experience evidence.

• Develop an impact framework and reporting systems.

• Produce briefings and updates for partners, funders and decision-makers.

As TLG works towards its vision of fullness of life for every child, no matter what struggles they face, we believe the opportunity before us is significant. The mental health challenges facing children continue to grow, whilst churches and schools are actively seeking effective ways to respond.

The vision for this role is to help TLG substantially increase its reach and impact by growing strategic partnerships with churches, schools and wider stakeholders.

About us

Greyhound Rescue Wales (GRW) is Wales’ leading charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming greyhounds and lurchers. Founded in 1993, we have spent more than three decades championing the welfare of sighthounds and working towards our vision: a Wales without greyhound racing, where every greyhound and lurcher has a home and receives the best possible care.

In April 2026, after 25 years of determined campaigning to improve welfare and regulation within the racing industry, legislation to ban greyhound racing in Wales was finally passed. This landmark achievement marks the beginning of a new chapter for GRW as we expand our reach and capacity across the UK to ensure every greyhound leaving the racing industry has a rescue space, medical support and rehabilitation on the journey towards their forever home.

To help us grow sustainably and strengthen our long‑term impact, we are now seeking to develop our fundraising team with the creation of a Sponsorship and Individual Giving Officer.

You’ll be right at the heart of our service delivery—whether you’re working directly with inspiring young people, empowering our volunteer mentors, or collaborating with the wider team on fundraising and events.

The Association of Illustrators is the UK's professional body for illustrators and a global leader in our field. For more than 50 years, we have championed illustration and helped illustrators build successful, sustainable creative careers through expert business advice, professional development, events and campaigning.

We are proud to support a community of more than 2,000 illustrators at every stage of their careers. As a small not-for-profit organisation with big ambitions, we are focused on growing our membership, making it more inclusive and accessible, and ensuring the AOI remains an indispensable source of support, inspiration and connection for illustrators.

About the role

The Membership team is at the heart of the AOI. It is where members come for advice, professional support and connection with the wider illustration community.

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Membership Manager to join us for fixed term maternity cover. You will lead a small, dedicated team, ensure members continue to receive an excellent service and take forward our three-year membership strategy.

This is a varied role combining leadership, planning and hands-on delivery. You will protect and grow membership income, oversee our events programme, support the team with member enquiries and develop new ways to make membership more welcoming and relevant to a wider range of illustrators.

Where possible, there will be a handover with the current postholder. You will also be supported by colleagues who share knowledge of the professional and business issues affecting illustrators.

What you will be doing

Leading the Membership team

You will lead and support a small, experienced team, ensuring priorities are clear and members receive a consistently high level of service.

You will:

• Lead, support and develop the Membership team through regular planning, one-to-ones and clear communication.
• Oversee the day-to-day work of the team, balancing immediate member needs with longer-term priorities.
• Create a positive and collaborative working environment.
• Work closely with the Membership Administrator, who is responsible for the membership database and day-to-day administration.

• Ensure the needs of illustrators at different stages of their careers are reflected in our services and communications.
• Use member feedback, enquiry trends and membership data to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Work with colleagues to communicate the value of AOI membership clearly and confidently.
• Develop campaigns and activities that encourage people to join, renew and make full use of their membership.

Leading the events programme

Events are one of the main ways we support, inform and bring together the illustration community.

You will:

• Shape and oversee the annual programme of talks, workshops, networking events and professional development activities.
• Manage the events budget and make effective use of available resources.
• Coordinate colleagues, guest speakers and external contributors.
• Ensure the programme offers a strong balance of business support, professional development, community and inspiration.
• Make events welcoming, accessible and relevant to a broad range of illustrators.
• Use events to support member engagement, retention and recruitment.
• Review attendance, feedback and impact to improve future programmes.

Supporting members

Our members come to us for trusted advice on the opportunities and challenges they face throughout their careers.

You will:

• Build a strong working understanding of the professional issues affecting illustrators, including business practice, licensing, contracts, pricing and professional standards.
• Support the team in responding to enquiries accurately, clearly and with empathy.
• Identify recurring issues and ensure they inform our events, resources and wider work.
• Build trusted relationships with members and act as an approachable and knowledgeable representative of the AOI.

You do not need to arrive with detailed knowledge of every issue affecting illustrators, but you will need to be curious, able to learn quickly and confident adapting your experience to a specialist creative community.

Working across the AOI

As a small organisation, we work closely across teams and support one another.

You will:

• Work with colleagues across communications, campaigning, awards and other areas of the AOI.
• Contribute ideas and insight to organisational planning and shared projects.
