We are delivering an ambitious fundraising strategy to grow and optimise voluntary net income, public support and awareness of our charity. A brand-new weekly lottery is at the heart of these plans, and we are looking for a Lottery & Raffle Campaign Manager to help us launch it — and shape the future of fundraising at Woodgreen.

This is a rare opportunity to launch a charitable lottery from the ground up. You’ll work closely with our External Lottery Manager (ELM) and lead Woodgreen through to our first weekly draw. Alongside the lottery, you’ll take ownership of our raffle programme — which has just gone through a successful transformation and continues to grow — and bring the two products together into one thriving gaming programme.

You will:

• Lead the end-to-end implementation of our Weekly Lottery, from setup and compliance through to launch and beyond.
• Manage Woodgreen’s relationship with the External Lottery Manager, ensuring the programme runs compliantly and effectively.

• Project manage direct marketing campaigns across direct mail and digital, from briefing through to evaluation, using data and insight to optimise performance.
• Partner with our Acquisition team on player recruitment across Face-to-Face, paid media and other channels.
• Ensure full compliance with Gambling Commission regulations, the Gambling Act 2005, LCCP obligations and Fundraising Codes of Practice.
• Support budget setting, monitoring and evaluation, interrogating results to inform future campaigns.

Bringing significant experience of managing a charity lottery or raffle programme, alongside substantial experience of developing and delivering direct marketing campaigns you will have strong project and budget management skills, and a detailed working knowledge — or a real appetite to build one — of large society lottery compliance, including responsible gambling and marketing rules.

Above all, you will be genuinely analytical, comfortable working with data, confident interrogating campaign results, and skilled at spotting the patterns that drive better decisions. You will use insight to challenge assumptions — including your own — and to keep raising the bar on what your campaigns deliver.  Organised and comfortable juggling multiple priorities, you will be a confident communicator at ease briefing agencies and working across teams, someone who cares about doing things properly: brand, compliance and supporter experience all matter equally.

This full time, permanent opportunity will operate in a hybrid working environment and although much of it can be done remotely our successful candidate must be able to attend our offices near Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire (PE29 2NH) for an average of 1-2 times per month dependent on business need.

Woodgreen Pets Charity has been helping pets and their owners live happier, healthier lives for over 100 years. From rehoming and community support to education and advocacy, our work is powered by dedicated people and a data-led approach.

We're seeking an Analytics Engineer who wants to help define how Woodgreen understands its performance. This role focuses on developing and maintaining trusted semantic models and consistent KPI definitions within the Microsoft platform, ensuring reporting is reliable, scalable and aligned across the charity. You'll work closely with business stakeholders, the Senior BI Analyst and Woodgreen's Data Engineer to ensure models reflect real operational needs, not just technical design. We want someone who enjoys working with people and helping colleagues gain confidence in their data.

Our successful candidate will bring experience designing and building analytical data models on a modern cloud platform, ideally Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure Synapse, with a strong grounding in dimensional modelling principles and semantic layer design. Your SQL and DAX skills will be well-developed, and you'll understand what it takes to build models that are not just technically correct, but genuinely usable and trustworthy at scale.

A key part of this role is maintaining the logic that sit beneath our reporting and making sure these stay consistent and well-documented as the organisation evolves. You'll understand that inconsistent definitions undermine confidence in data, and confidence in data is what we're here to build.

You'll also have an eye on self-serve analytics: designing models and datasets that empower colleagues to answer their own questions rather than creating dependency on the data team. That means thinking about usability and accessibility alongside technical precision and being willing to invest time in helping people understand and trust what they're looking at. You'll be comfortable engaging with stakeholders across the charity to understand their reporting needs, translating those into sound analytical solutions, and communicating clearly throughout.

This role will operate in a hybrid working environment and although much of it can be done remotely our successful candidate must be able to attend our offices near Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire (PE29 2NH) for an average of once or twice a month.

The starting salary for this position is £46,876 - £52,085 per annum depending on experience. In addition, you will receive:

• 36 days annual leave per year (inclusive of bank holidays) rising by 1 day each year to a maximum of 40 days after five years
• Up to 8% employer pension contributions
• Support towards healthcare costs (cashplan)
• Employee wellbeing package to include free access to Headspace

THE CHARITY 
Suicide is the leading cause of death of men under 35 and three quarters of those who die by suicide are men. James’ Place exists to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis through delivering clinical services. We are a charity currently offering free, life-saving therapy to suicidal men at our centres in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. 
 
James’ Place was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and suicidal thoughts but didn’t find it.    
 
James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. We offer men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment. Men who walk through the door at James’ Place will be in a space where they feel valued and respected.  We provide a calm and peaceful environment both inside the centres and in our outside spaces, accessible to men who visit us as well as their friends and families. We have so far treated over 5,100 men who might otherwise have been unable to access the support they desperately need.
 
In early 2026 we have opened our fourth centre in Birmingham. Our new centre in Birmingham will be there to support suicidal men living in the West Midlands.
 
THE OPPORTUNITY 
We are excited to offer a new opportunity to join a growing charity and support our Executive Leadership Team, as well as the administration and operational processes across the organisation, as an Executive Assistant.
