Change lives in a life-changing career
When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.
The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. And that impact can be felt by entire family. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer.
We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make their voices heard and their unique needs understood, so they can get the right care and support at the right time
About the role

As the Senior Social Media Officer, you will lead the delivery of the charity’s social media activity, as well as the paid boosting strategy of social media content across all platforms.
This is not a broadcasting role: it’s about fostering meaningful engagement with our supporters and raising the voices of young people and children with cancer.
This role is part of the Digital Engagement team, who are responsible for paid media, email marketing and organic social media activity. While social media will be the core focus of this role, experience in paid media and/or email marketing is desirable.

Experience within the charity or public sector, or working on social impact issues, would be beneficial but not essential.

Please note this role is advertised by the recruitment agency acting for the client – Not For Profit People. #INDNFP
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.
Essential:
· Minimum three years’ previous professional research experience, ideally in market research, social research or a consultancy setting
· 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)
· Experience of conducting qualitative research (interviews, focus groups or similar)
· Keen interest or experience of the not-for-profit sector in one of our international markets (Ireland, Canada or the US)
· Experience of line managing or mentoring more junior colleagues
· Experience of using R, SPSS or Displayr
In addition, we also like to see the following soft skills in all our staff:
· Strong verbal and written communication skills
· Excellent time management and organisational skills
· Self-motivated, hardworking and proactive
· Enthusiastic, personable and with a sense of humour
· Ability to work collaboratively and flexibly as part of a team
What nfpResearch delivers to you:
· A varied and senior role at the UK’s leading research consultancy working exclusively in the not-for-profit sector
· The opportunity to lead research that shapes how charities engage with Parliament, the media and their audiences
· The chance to be an integral part of a small and dynamic company
· 25 days paid holiday per year, plus bank holidays and days between Christmas and New Year
· Training for the MRS Advanced Certificate qualification and a bonus if you pass the exam
Please send a 1-page cover letter and your CV (no more than two pages). Your cover letter is your opportunity to tell us why you are interested in the role and what you would bring to nfpResearch. We are particularly interested in hearing about your experience in a client-facing role, your knowledge of the not-for-profit sector, and your understanding of how charities engage with Parliament and the media.

With strong financial foundations, a committed team, and a long-standing partnership with a progressive secondary school, this is a rare opportunity to lead an organisation uniquely positioned at the intersection of farming, education, and community action.
The Managing Director will provide clear strategic direction and overall leadership, ensuring GROW remains responsibly-governed, financially resilient, and grounded in its agroecological values. Working closely with the Board of Trustees, they will nurture and inspire a multidisciplinary team of 16 employees and freelancers, strengthen key partnerships, and guide the organisation’s continued development and impact.
Job Title: Managing Director

Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full Time, 40 hours per week (9am-5pm with 1-hour paid lunch break)

GROW is a site-based organisation, and our farm sits at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for a Managing Director who is as comfortable talking with students, volunteers and visitors as they are shaping strategy and leading the organisation’s future. This is a role for a thoughtful, adaptable and hands-on leader who can hold the big picture while staying closely connected to our farm, outdoor programmes and the communities we work alongside.
Leadership at GROW is practical, relational and rooted in place. One day you might be gathering feedback from our Student Board of Advisors, listening to how our programmes are working for the young people who shape them. The next, you might be at the farm stall chatting with local community members selling jars of GROW’s homemade pickles. The Managing Director helps ensure that these everyday moments remain central to the organisation.
The successful candidate will lead a small, committed team of 16 staff, nurturing a culture that is collaborative, knowledgeable and grounded in our values. They will guide GROW’s strategic direction while staying attentive to the daily rhythms of farm and school life that make it a vibrant place for learning, growing and connection.
Trustees recognise the breadth of this role and are committed to strengthening the organisation’s operational capacity. An early priority for the new Managing Director will be to shape and secure support for an additional capacity-building role that complements their leadership and enables GROW to thrive in the years ahead.
