WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night's sleep, and the chance to thrive at school.

In our nearly seven years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 17,000 bed bundles to children to date. 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As we grow, we are looking to recruit a Communications Officer to join the Communications team.

As our ideal candidate you will need to be in commuting distance to our Leeds warehouse, meaning you can travel regularly to meet with the team. This is a hybrid role based between the Leeds warehouse and home, with at least one day per week at the warehouse. Some travel to other locations may be required occasionally for events.

You will be someone who has good experience of the broad range of day-to-day communications admin and management activities that working in a small team brings and someone who enjoys the busyness and variety of this.

Alongside your Communications Officer-related skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of engaging and growing audiences in the charity sector, due to some of the specialities that come with this, such as understanding the donor experience as opposed to commercial endeavours. But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date. 

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting at £26,000 with progression up to £30,000 p/a (FTE) 

• 28 days annual leave, plus Bank Holidays (prorated for part-time work)

• Healthcare Cash Plan

• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award

• A great working environment! One of our colleagues described us as- “Zarach is a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do” 

To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our website and the coverage of us across social media.

Please note that we may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your CV and cover letter as soon as possible.

At a pivotal moment for Cardiomyopathy UK, we seek a new Chief Executive to lead the organisation into its next chapter.

Who we are

Cardiomyopathy UK is the specialist national charity for people affected by cardiomyopathy, a condition that affects the heart muscle. Our vision is that everyone affected by cardiomyopathy should live a long and fulfilling life.

We are a community of people affected by cardiomyopathy, medical experts and charity healthcare professionals working to provide support and information, campaigning for better access to quality treatment, saving lives through raising awareness and providing hope through shaping research.

About the role

As Chief Executive, you will help Cardiomyopathy UK move forward with confidence, reigniting and strengthening our team and ensuring we continue to be there for everyone affected by cardiomyopathy.

In your first year, success will be about bringing people together. You will be listening to staff, valuing their expertise and creating a positive, inclusive culture where everyone can do their best work. At the same time, you will help us reconnect with partners, supporters and funders, rebuild momentum and strengthen how we communicate our impact, including through our digital and social presence.

Looking ahead, you will guide us in delivering our current strategy through to 2028 while shaping what comes next. Above all, you will ensure we remain true to who we are — caring, ambitious and centred on “our people”, so that no one faces cardiomyopathy alone.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking an inspiring and values-led leader who brings a track record of senior leadership, ideally within the charity, healthcare, or public sector to guide the organisation into the future.

You will also foster a positive and inclusive culture and harness the expertise of a committed staff team and volunteer network.

Credible, confident and able to represent the organisation at the highest levels, you will build partnerships with clinicians, researchers, funders and industry and champion the patient voice.
