Harris Hill has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Trust and Foundations Manager, to join a national health/ medical charity in London, for 6 months.

The client is looking for a permanent member of staff, so this fills an interim gap, following unsuccessful rounds. This is therefore an ASAP start.

As the Trust and Foundations Manager, you will be required to complete applications in the £50k + remit. However, depending on experience and profile, this could be the Mid - low value side instead or in addition.

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.

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.
