Contract jobs

Your role will be to support our Creative Design Manager in delivering marketing and communication campaigns as well as supporting our landmark campaigns of National Numeracy Day and Number Confidence Week.

We're looking for a talented storyteller with a sharp eye for detail and the ability to create content that unites, empowers and engages audiences. Someone who can bring stories to life through compelling content, visual storytelling and authentic human voices.

We are looking for a creative and curious individual who is interested in people, able to spot powerful stories and transform them into engaging content that creates an emotional connection with audiences.

You'll be able to demonstrate experience of delivering consistent, high-quality content across a range of channels and formats, including video, graphics and digital content. You will play a key role in bringing the voices of National Numeracy's beneficiaries to life by sharing their stories, insights and experiences across our communications channels.

Low numeracy affects millions of people and is often accompanied by feelings of embarrassment or shame. As a result, many people are reluctant to talk about it. We also know that when people hear the word "maths", they can quickly disengage. That's why creative storytelling is so important to our work.

National Numeracy is about far more than maths. We help people build confidence, unlock opportunities and improve their lives through stronger numeracy skills. Numeracy influences every aspect of daily life, from employment and financial wellbeing to health and confidence. Through real-life stories and creative content, we help people understand that impact and inspire them to take positive action.

We're looking for someone who can uncover and tell those stories in fresh, imaginative and engaging ways. If you're passionate about creating content that resonates with people and want to use your creativity to make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

This is about more than support. It’s about helping people build trust, stability and stronger futures.

We are looking for a Mentor to join our Durham Women’s Trailblazer service, supporting women facing multiple and interconnected challenges including poverty, poor mental health, trauma, isolation, caring responsibilities and justice involvement.

No two journeys are the same.

Using our Relational Mentoring approach, you will work one-to-one with women to build trusted relationships, identify strengths, reduce barriers and support progress at a pace that works for them. Support may include improving wellbeing, building confidence, reconnecting with services and communities, establishing routines, preparing for training or employment, and strengthening longer-term stability.

You will manage your own caseload and work flexibly across communities, building strong local partnerships and ensuring women can access the right support at the right time.

We’re looking for someone who is confident working with complexity, can build trust quickly, and is motivated by helping people move from crisis towards greater stability, confidence and independence.

What you’ll bring

• Ability to build positive, professional and trusted relationships

• A compassionate, adaptable and solutions-focused approach

• Understanding of trauma-informed and person-centred support

• Confidence supporting people experiencing complex or challenging circumstances

• Strong communication, organisational and digital skills, including Microsoft 365 and CRM systems

• Ability to work independently while managing a varied caseload and competing priorities

Experience within community support, justice, employability, wellbeing or related services is advantageous, but not essential.

Essential requirements

• Full driving licence and access to a car for daily use

• Willingness to travel across County Durham and surrounding communities

• Home broadband to support flexible working

As part of The Wise Group, you’ll join an enterprise committed to innovation and creating lasting change in communities.
