Our supporters are at the heart of everything we do. The team responsible for data management, supporter care, and compliance plays a vital role in enabling our fundraising activities to succeed. Working collaboratively with colleagues across Battersea, as well as external suppliers and agencies, we collect, process, and analyse data to strengthen relationships and maximise impact.

In this role, you will help ensure our generous donors and customers feel valued and appreciated through outstanding supporter care. You will support the delivery of efficient, accurate, and compliant processes, ensuring that all fundraising activities are carried out with diligence and integrity.

As a Supporter Services Administrator, you will be responsible for providing excellent service to existing, potential, and former supporters. You will play a key role in building and maintaining strong relationships, helping to enhance supporter engagement and maximise income for Battersea.

What we can offer you:
In return for your commitment to our cause and to recognise the value of our employees, Battersea offers a range of benefits to support the wellbeing of our employees. These include:

• 28 days of annual leave (plus 8 days paid public holidays) per year.
• Discounted gym memberships and cycle to work schemes.
• Employee Assistance Programme and access to Wellbeing Resources.
• Generous pension contributions - up to 10% employer contribution.
• Free healthcare cash plan, where you can claim for a range of treatment including dental, optical, physiotherapy, chiropody and acupuncture every year.

We are also committed to providing learning and development to our employees. During your time with us, we provide support for your professional and career development, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.

Our hybrid working model:
We operate a 50% onsite hybrid working model, with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working. This enables our office-based staff to balance the benefits of home working with onsite collaboration and maintaining a connection to our cause.

Diversity and inclusion:
We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience for all staff, volunteers and trustees and those hoping to join us. We operate an anonymised shortlisting process and actively seek to ensure our process is fair and equitable for all.

We understand the value of diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences to help us deliver even more for our dogs and cats, and we welcome applicants from all sections of the community.

As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we will ask about any adjustments you may need at application and/or interview stage, and if you are offered a role with us, we’ll talk to you about any workplace adjustments you may need to help you perform at your best. Greyscale copies of the recruitment pack are also available on request.

More about us:
At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love, expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them. Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.

Acceptable use of AI:
At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words. We understand the support that generative artificial intelligence (AI) software can offer but it can also lead to numerous applications presenting as generic and impersonal. This makes it difficult to gain understanding of your unique experience.

To best showcase yourself, we encourage you to write your responses without the assistance of AI. If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting. You must also ensure the information presented in your application accurately reflects your experience.

Closing date: 12th June 2026
All applications must be submitted before the closing date advertised. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications is received.

SCM is looking for a recent graduate to spend a year working with us to help us to continue to build on the work of our successful Faith in Action project. 

Run in partnership with Project Bonhoeffer, a small charitable trust, the project began in 2012 with a vision that Christian students in Britain would have a greater awareness and understanding of Bonhoeffer’s radical approach to faith and discipleship, and its implications for Christian living in the modern world. 

The project has helped to run over a dozen campaigns from Food Poverty to Peace, and had an immeasurable impact on thousands of students through blogs, resources, and relationships. All of this is bringing to light many ‘Bonhoeffers’ of today negotiating the implications on Christian living in the world.

In 2021, we developed the Faith in Action project as a graduate scheme by employing two graduates to work on the project; one to lead on theology bringing a depth of learning and theological refection, and the other to be a campaigns lead, taking us always back out into the world to make a difference.

The project has been very successful, and now we are looking to grow it for further. We are looking for a passionate graduate to join the project for the 2025-26 academic year.

In this role, you will be a theologian to make other theologians, and will provide the framework for students to be able to reflect theologically on their life and modern Christian living. You will be responsible for growing the breadth of SCM’s Faith in Action resources, and discovering new ways of connecting with the current membership via the trends of social media or engaging in face-to-face reflections. An activist to make other activists, you will coordinate social action for SCM, engaging the membership in social justice projects that maximise our impact in society and the world.

You will work to build relationships between SCM communities and members to equip students with the skills they need to become faith-filled agents of social and political change and lead them in theological reflection to discern their involvement in local and national campaigns. You will also work to develop relationships with other Christian social justice and campaigning organisations to create opportunities for students to put their faith into action. In all of this, you will be supported by our small but perfectly-formed team, who will share your values and fully understand your aims in this project.

The role will require some travel within Britain, as well as semi-regular visits to the office in Birmingham, which may also include an overnight stay. All reasonable expenses for travel and accommodation will be reimbursed. Some evening and weekend work may be required for which time off in lieu will be given.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and LGBTQ+ individuals who are currently underrepresented in the organisation. Due to the nature of this role and the responsibilities of the successful post-holder, a genuine occupational requirement to be a committed Christian is in place for this role in accordance with the provisions of the Equality Act 2010.

Please use the forms provided; CVs will not be accepted. Applications should be submitted electronically in Word format by email to the address provided in the application pack.

Student Christian Movement is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1125640, and in Scotland number SC048506

This new role will lead the development and delivery of sustainable business services for WLCVS and its member organisations, supporting organisational resilience, income diversification, and collaborative partnerships. The post-holder will play a key role in formalising new partnerships, securing new funding and contract opportunities, and promoting innovation across the sector.

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.
