Doorstep Library is a community-focused literacy charity dedicated to bringing the magic of books and the joy of reading directly into the homes of children who need our support. We are looking for an experienced fundraiser to head up our fundraising and marketing teams.
With one in four 11-year-olds leaving primary school unable to read or write properly, we recruit and train home and online reading volunteers to go into disadvantaged areas of London to help introduce young children (aged 0-11 years) to the pleasure and benefits of reading.
Our unique home-based service, whether in person or online, enables us to find the most appropriate books for every child we visit and build a relationship with the whole family. Our goal is to help children develop the self-confidence and essential skills they need to access all the opportunities that will come their way in life.
We also empower parents/carers to create and maintain a supportive environment by signposting them to local services and community support. Our projects not only improve literacy but also increase family wellbeing and bonding. Our tailored service enables us to help prepare children for school and broaden their opportunities in later life.
Our impact is long-lasting. For us, the ‘happy ever after’ is when we know the power of literacy and the joy of reading are helping a child change their own story for good. Every story shared is a story changed.

Have you managed complex integrated campaigns within fast-paced and rapidly changing environments? Have you got proven senior project management and cross-functional leadership experience? Then join Shelter as Head of Planning & Project Management and you could soon be playing a lead role in embedding best practice ways of working around operational planning and project management within our ambitious Income Generation directorate.
About Shelter
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.
We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.
About the team
This key role sits in both the Planning & Improvement team within our Income Generation Directorate and the Audience Engagement team in our Communications, Policies & Campaigns Directorate as a matrix managed role. The Planning & Improvement team is uniquely positioned to have strategic overview of activities that binds together all income generation campaigns, appeals, activities and products. It’s responsible for enabling and accelerating the delivery of Income Generation’s strategic plan. The relationship and ways of working with teams in Communications, Policies & Campaigns are crucial to effective planning and delivery of activities that deliver our organisational objectives.
About the role
You will lead the Planning & Project Management Team that consists of a Senior Project Manager and a Senior Planning & Project Executive who are responsible for improving the directorate’s approach to integrated and cross-organisational working. As well as bringing leadership to the team, we’ll rely on you to head up and project manage a variety of major income generation projects of strategic importance, such as our winter fundraising campaign. You’ll also be responsible for identifying and equipping our Income Generation Directorate with the tools they need to make cross-organisational working the default approach to everything we do. You will play a big part in financial and operational planning as well as managing your team’s performance and driving cultural change – all are aspects of a high profile role that will play a big part in helping us achieve our ambitious fundraising goals.
About you
Highly collaborative, flexible, diplomatic and assertive, with good influencing and negotiation skills, you have the management and leadership skills it takes to manage, motivate and develop others. You’re also used to working in a matrix management environment where you have taken responsibility for cross-organisational objectives. Identifying, managing and mitigating risk to ensure successful project delivery comes naturally to you too, as does working with project management methodologies and processes. And, when it comes to training and facilitating others to plan well together and communicate success, failures, contingency and change so that income generation plans are delivered and KPIs met, again, you are able to deliver.

At Media Trust, we believe it’s by giving everyone a voice that we’ll get to a more equal society. That’s why we’re working with hundreds of charities to strengthen their storytelling, advocacy and campaigning, press engagement and social media. We do this through media, communications and digital skills training delivered in partnership with our media and creative industry partners and by matching media industry volunteers with charities looking for help with content creation and other comms support. At the same time, we are working with hundreds of young people and talent from under-represented communities to give them the skills, access and mentoring to break into the media.
About the Role
Do you want to lead innovative and impactful programmes to strengthen the communications, campaigning, storytelling, media engagement and digital skills of organisations advocating for social justice and systemic change?
We are looking for a dynamic and proactive individual with a track record of successful programme management, who is passionate about communications that drive change.
This position will report to the Head of Programmes and oversee Media Trust's thematic strategic communications programmes that strengthen the voices of charities. Our thematic programmes support cohorts of charities working in the same area, including equalities and social justice (our Stronger Voices programme) and environmental and climate issues (our Communicating Climate programme.)
In the context of rising levels of inequality, the media and policymakers need to hear from the people whose lives are most affected. In this role, you will support user-led organisations campaigning for systemic change to speak truth to power.
Our six-month strategic communications training programmes are designed to support charities and community organisations to amplify their voice, mobilise support and influence meaningful change. These programmes include in-person and virtual training, mentoring and support from industry experts, and tailored digital resources.
This role will directly manage our Stronger Voices programme, ensuring the smooth delivery of the programme, including managing our cohort of equalities organisations; overseeing the budget and timeline; managing our relationships with funders, trainers and partners; and impact evaluation and reporting.
You will also oversee our other thematic programmes (currently Communicating Climate). You will line manage the Project Manager of Communicating Climate and a Project Coordinator.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone committed to social justice, with strong programme management skills, an understanding of strategic communications and a passion for empowering the charity sector through training and mentorship. This is a highly rewarding role which offers opportunities to engage with both the charity sector and the media and creative industries.
*Please note that whilst this is a remote role, Stronger Voices is a London-based programme, so proximity to London will be beneficial for delivering in-person activity for the cohort.
