Engagement Manager (Membership & Engagement)
Florence Nightingale Foundation
London / Hybrid (minimum 2 days per week in the office)
Full time (35 hours per week)
Fixed-term maternity cover
Excellent benefits including annual leave allowance starting at 27 days, pay progression scheme, flexible and hybrid working, employer pension contribution, death in service policy, personal and professional development opportunities, and Employee Assistance Programme.
Are you confident working with senior stakeholders, comfortable rolling up your sleeves, and motivated by building meaningful relationships that make a real difference?
Charity People is delighted to be partnering with the Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF) to recruit for their next Engagement Manager.
Inspired by the work of Florence Nightingale, FNF is a UK-based charity and global influencer, supporting nurses and midwives to promote health, improve care and save lives. FNF is working across the UK and internationally to reach one million nurses and midwives by 2027 - enabling them to connect, lead and influence healthcare.
FNF's work focuses on developing nursing and midwifery leadership capacity and capability, convening and supporting nurses and midwives to shape health and care policy, and ensuring nursing and midwifery perspectives are central to decision-making.
About the role
This Engagement Manager role is a maternity cover position and forms a key part of FNF's Policy, Impact and Membership function. The role is not a like-for-like replacement; instead, it has been intentionally shaped to focus on membership engagement, relationship management and delivery, with policy activity covered elsewhere in the team.
The postholder will act as a membership account manager, responsible for recruiting, onboarding and engaging organisational members - primarily NHS Trusts and senior nursing leaders - as well as supporting the development of a new individual membership pilot.
This is a hands-on, varied role requiring confidence working with the most senior nursing leaders one moment, and responding to member queries or delivering webinars the next. You will have ownership of your work and the autonomy to shape how engagement is delivered.
Key responsibilities
Person specification
You will be a confident, credible and highly organised engagement professional who enjoys variety and responsibility. You are comfortable balancing strategic relationship-building with hands-on delivery.
You will likely bring:
This role would suit an experienced Engagement or Membership Officer ready to step up, or a hands-on Manager who enjoys being close to delivery.

Introduction
the3million is the largest grassroots organisation for EU citizens* in the UK, formed after the 2016 referendum to protect the rights of people who have made the UK their home.
Our work ranges from organising EU citizens’ communities and informing people about their rights, to holding the Government to account on the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement and advocating for social justice.
We are looking for an experienced, values-driven and thoughtful Communications Manager to help shape and strengthen the3million’s public voice. The role focuses on sharing our work as widely and effectively as possible, through social media, supporter communications and news media. You will act as a spokesperson for the3million, write and develop communications materials, and help grow our supporters and donors base through lived-experience focused communications.
The ideal candidate is a passionate communicator, motivated by social justice and passionate about amplifying the voices of EU citizens and other migrant communities. You are as comfortable shaping strategy as you are delivering high-quality content, and you are committed to challenging injustice and influencing decision-makers.
Key responsibilities
1. Communications strategy & leadership
2. Content and digital communications
3. Media relations
4. Campaign communications & messaging

Before you apply
One of the3million’s core values is equity - we are people led, we value diversity and are enriched by differences. We strive to listen to, engage with and represent the broadest range of people.
We recognise our team is not currently representative of communities that experience racism and that our own ways of working may replicate wider societal oppression and injustices. We are actively working towards becoming an anti-oppressive organisation, including taking steps to create a more inclusive recruitment process.
You may not have worked in an organisation whose focus is campaigning for migrants’ rights. Or you may have experience in a grassroots setting which is not formalised. Please still consider applying as many other settings offer transferable skills.
If you are from a background that is underrepresented in the migration sector - for example you are from a community that experiences racism, or you have lived experience of migration, or you are a disabled person, or you did not go to University or had free school meals as a child - we strongly encourage you to apply.
We believe our work will be stronger with greater diversity. the3million welcomes the whole person to work, and we understand that each of us brings our experiences, our backgrounds and our own unique lens to what we do.

Individual Giving Lead When You Wish Upon a Star | £30,000–£35,000 | Nottingham / Hybrid | Permanent
Some roles are defined before you arrive. This one is defined by you.
When You Wish Upon a Star grants life-changing wishes for children with terminal and life-threatening illnesses. Every wish is a memory that lasts a lifetime for a family facing the unimaginable. The cause is immediate, emotionally powerful and directly translatable into the kind of impact that makes supporters proud to be involved.
We are looking for someone to develop and lead our individual giving function. You will shape the strategy, grow and steward our community of individual supporters, and define what this looks like for Wish. You will have the full backing of the CEO and board, direct access to senior leadership, and the freedom to bring your own thinking, creativity and ambition to a function that is yours to build.
If that sounds like the role you have been waiting for, we would love to hear from you.
What you will be doing
You will identify, engage and grow a community of individual supporters who feel deeply connected to our mission, developing propositions and campaigns that are emotionally compelling and inspire long-term giving. You will represent Wish confidently, create the systems and supporter journeys that enable sustainable growth, and lay the foundations for an individual giving programme that grows in both income and impact. As income grows, so does the role. The expectation is that this person builds not just a strong base of individual supporters but, in time, a team around it.
You will work closely with the Head of Income Generation and Board, with realistic targets in the early stages that give you the time and space to build meaningful relationships rather than focus on short-term gains. This is not a role where you will be left to figure it out alone. It is one where your ideas are valued, your judgement is trusted, and your ambition is actively supported.
What you will bring
Experience developing, growing or significantly influencing individual giving income streams, including regular giving and lottery programmes, and engaging supporters at scale to inspire long-term and higher-value giving. Experience of managing the end-to-end supporter journey through CRM systems, using insight and data to drive acquisition, retention and growth.
A strong instinct for understanding what motivates people to give, and the ability to turn that insight into campaigns and experiences that feel personal, compelling and effective. Comfort with ownership, and the confidence to create momentum and build something from the ground up.
What we offer
We know what we are asking of you and we have built a package to reflect it.
£30,000–£35,000, reviewed as the function grows
25 days holiday rising to 30 with service, plus 3 days at Christmas not taken from your allowance
2 Wish Maker days each year to make your own wishes come true
6 months full maternity pay
Full sick pay from day one
Flexible working with full trust over how you structure your hours
A culture built on genuine care for the people who work here

The role
As a Senior Researcher, you will take a leading role in our research programmes with parliamentarians and journalists, while also contributing to our work with the general public and bespoke client projects. You will act as a trusted partner to clients and a point of guidance for junior colleagues.
You will lead on our nfpPolitics programmes – quarterly surveys of 100 MPs and an annual survey of 100 members of the House of Lords, plus annual surveys of MSPs in Scotland, MSs in Wales and MLAs in Northern Ireland. These programmes give charity clients clear, evidence-based insight into how they are seen at Westminster and in the devolved parliaments: tracking awareness of organisations and their campaigns, the actions parliamentarians have taken in response, and how effective they consider those organisations to be. Subscribers also receive unfiltered open comments from parliamentarians and access to broader political intelligence data – covering what MPs see as the biggest challenges facing the sector, the factors that influence whether they will support a campaign, and which organisations have impressed them in Parliament.
You will also oversee nfpPress, our annual survey of 150 UK journalists across print, digital and broadcast media. This gives charity communications teams systematic insight into how the media perceives them and their work – not just whether journalists know who they are, but whether they want to work with them, and what would make them more likely to.
Alongside this tracking work, you will contribute to a varied portfolio of bespoke projects for individual charity clients – from applicant perception research for funders, to supporter benchmarking and message testing. In practice, this means working across a wide range of topics and methodologies, helping charities make better strategic decisions.
Description of responsibilities and opportunities:
· Leading our nfpPolitics Westminster programme: quarterly surveys of 100 MPs and an annual survey of 100 members of the House of Lords, including questionnaire design, fieldwork management, analysis and client debriefs
· Leading our nfpPolitics Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland programmes: annual surveys of MSPs, Members of the Senedd and MLAs
· Overseeing nfpPress: our annual survey of 150 UK journalists across print, digital and broadcast media
· Managing a portfolio of client accounts across the Professional Audiences monitors – advising clients on their results, responding to requests for analysis, and supporting retention
· Contributing to the design and delivery of bespoke projects for a wide range of charity clients, spanning applicant perception research, supporter benchmarking, message testing and audience insight work
· Writing and presenting client reports and debrief presentations, with clear conclusions and actionable recommendations
· Line management of a Research Officer or Research Assistant: writing objectives, conducting appraisals and supporting their professional development
· Contributing to business development, including helping to scope and write proposals and participating in pitch meetings
· Contributing to the broader life of the company, including our monthly Knowledge Meeting, company blog and Insights events
Who we are looking for:
This post would be ideally suited to a researcher with at least three years’ experience in a market research or social research role, with a strong interest in the non-profit sector and the professional audiences it works with – whether parliamentarians, journalists, funders or specialist communities.

· Experience of managing research projects or programmes with a high degree of independence
· Experience of managing clients or other external relationships
· Experience of presenting in a professional context
· Strong quantitative research skills, including excellent data literacy, survey design and data visualisation
· Analytical skills and ability to interpret research, and explain what it means for a range of different audiences – both verbally and in writing
· A strong interest in politics, media or public affairs, and an understanding of how non-profits engage with these arenas
· A strong interest in, and preferably experience of, charities and not-for-profits
Desirable:
· Experience of research with specialist or professional audiences (such as parliamentarians, journalists, healthcare professionals or funders)

Some roles are defined before you arrive. This one is defined by you.
When You Wish Upon a Star grants life-changing wishes for children with terminal and life-threatening illnesses. Every wish is a memory that lasts a lifetime for a family facing the unimaginable. The cause is immediate, emotionally powerful and directly translatable into the kind of impact that makes corporate partners proud to be involved.
We are looking for someone to create and lead our corporate partnerships function. You will shape the strategy, develop the partnerships and define what this looks like for Wish. You will have the full backing of the CEO and board, direct access to senior leadership, and the freedom to bring your own thinking, creativity and ambition to a function that is yours to build.
If that sounds like the role you have been waiting for, we would love to hear from you.
What you will be doing
You will identify and secure corporate partnerships that are deeply aligned with our mission, developing propositions that are emotionally compelling and commercially credible. You will represent Wish confidently at senior level, create the systems and structures that enable sustainable growth, and lay the foundations for a partnerships team that grows with the income you generate. As income grows, so does the role. The expectation is that this person builds not just a partnerships portfolio but, in time, a team around it.
You will work closely with the Head of Income Generation and Board, with realistic targets in the early stage that give you the time and space to build the right relationships rather than rush the wrong ones. This is not a role where you will be left to figure it out alone. It is one where your ideas are wanted, your judgement is trusted, and your ambition is actively supported.
What you will bring
Experience securing or significantly influencing high-value partnerships or commercial relationships at senior level, ideally on a multi-year basis. A genuine instinct for spotting opportunity and the drive to turn it into something real and comfort with ownership and the confidence to create momentum.
Relevant experience may come from the charity sector or from a commercial environment. Attitude and instinct matter more to us than a specific background.
What we offer
We know what we are asking of you and we have built a package to reflect it.
£35,000–£40,000, reviewed as the function grows
25 days holiday rising to 30 with service, plus 3 days at Christmas not taken from your allowance
2 Wish Maker days each year to make your own wishes come true
6 months full maternity pay
Full sick pay from day one
Flexible working with full trust over how you structure your hours
A culture built on genuine care for the people who work here
Granting the wishes of children living with life-threatening or terminal illness
