DFN UK – Dignity Freedom Network – is a UK charity helping to bring dignity and freedom to the poor, the marginalised and the outcastes in India. Indian colleagues and volunteers deliver impactful education, health, protection and economic empowerment programmes - the ladder needed by those we seek to help to overcome the barriers they face. Working in large cities and in rural villages, with young children and new mums, with women who have experienced exploitation, and families facing discrimination and prejudice, we work to champion those society sidelines, including those from low caste and tribal backgrounds. 

In the UK we raise awareness and raise support.  As our Marketing and Communications Manager you will prepare our key messages and external communications.  You will coordinate our content and prepare and oversee digital platforms.  You will be pivotal to our public fundraising and provide an engaging and authentic window into the lives of those touched by DFN's work in India.   We are looking for someone who will enjoy a role in which every day is different. There will be appropriate support but room for you to innovate and develop. With a hybrid role, you will enjoy a flexible working arrangement to suit your needs.

Your main duties will be:-

• Contributing to the communications and marketing strategy - developing and delivering plans to support this
• Producing high quality content for a range of channels including website, newsletters, social media, and email campaigns
• Preparing videos and key products such as our Annual Report
• Overseeing our content management - reports, videos, images and stories

We are a small happy team with a big heart for the work and this is really important to us, as is our Christian motivation.  If you work for DFN you will join a committed team who pray for our work and believe everyone is created in God's image.  You will be the sole employee devoted to marketing and communications but will work closely with the CEO and colleagues. 

The role is broad and we appreciate that you may not have all the skills we are looking for but if the work motivates you, our culture appeals and you have some sound experience please apply.  We can supplement skills with training, outsourcing and volunteer support, as required.   The role is part-time - between 15 to 23 hours per week.

Why you will enjoy working at DFN:- Our staff describe the team as ‘caring and supportive’. They speak of the ‘motivating’ work ‘helping to make a difference in the lives of others in areas that I can easily take for granted every day - education, freedom, employment and healthcare.’ 

About the Role

 We are looking for a motivated and capable individual to join our dynamic Policy and Public Affairs Team, supporting the development of credible, evidence‑based policy proposals and helping to influence UK governments and NHS organisations to adopt them.

Key tasks and responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

· Monitoring the political and policy environment to keep track of things like Government / NHS initiatives and influencing opportunities.

· Collating and helping to analyse existing quantitative and qualitative research to produce briefings, help generate policy proposals and facilitate their implementation.

· Assisting the Head of Policy and Public Affairs and Policy and Public Affairs Officer to devise and implement influencing plans directed towards politicians, the NHS or relevant stakeholders.

· Preparing and drafting responses to consultations and reports relevant to the work of CPOC and the College, ensuring responses are evidence-based and in line with on-going policy work and strategy.

· Assisting with designing and conducting new research, such as survey work or interviews, in support of policy and influencing work.

· Becoming the team’s main expert on policy work in one of the UK devolved nations – likely Northern Ireland – and represent the Policy and Public Affairs Team on RCoA’s board for that nation.

· Providing general administrative support to the Team, including producing agendas for meetings and keeping track of our contacts with stakeholders.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will need to deliver high‑quality work at pace, be well organised, eager to learn and able to build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. You should have a sound understanding of quantitative and qualitative research methods, what makes impactful policy proposals and how research can be used to influence policymakers.  Insight into the UK health policy landscape, including government and NHS priorities, is also important.

This role is well‑suited to someone starting their policy career, and while previous policy experience is beneficial, it is not essential as full support and development will be provided.

What We Want to Achieve

We want to see an NHS that delivers good outcomes for patients and makes the best use of available resources. Our role in this relates to the anaesthetic workforce, and we have two specific priorities:

1) Boosting the anaesthetic workforce. Most operations require an anaesthetist in order to take place, but each of the four UK nations faces a chronic shortage of anaesthetists. Unfortunately, at present, no UK government is funding enough anaesthetic training places. We are determined to see this changed.

2) Optimising the surgical pathway. Anaesthetists don’t just work in the operating theatres they are often involved with the care patients receive before and after their operations – known as ‘perioperative care’. Good perioperative care can prevent surgical cancellations, complications, and unnecessarily long hospital stays. To this end, we host the Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC). CPOC advocates policies such as ‘prehabilitation’ to ensure that patients arrive in hospital on the day of their surgery in the healthiest state possible – so their operation can go ahead without problems, and they can recover quickly. We are doggedly pushing for such polices to be adopted.

The Package

This is a full-time, permanent position with a competitive employee benefits package, which includes (but is not limited to):

· 26 days of annual leave, plus bank holiday

· 1 additional paid day of leave for the purpose of celebrating your birthday

· Healthcare support through Benenden Health

· Up to 12% pension contribution

· Hybrid and flexible working

· Wellbeing hour once a week

· Cycle to work and employee discounts schemes

· Training and development opportunities

· Access to Mental Health First Aiders and Employee Assistance Programmes

 

About the College

The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) is the professional body responsible for the specialty throughout the UK. We are the third largest medical royal college in the UK by membership. With a combined membership of more than 24,000 Fellows and Members, we ensure the quality of patient care by safeguarding standards in the three specialties of anaesthesia, intensive care and pain medicine.

At RCoA equality, diversity and inclusion is an integral part of our culture so it is important to us that this is reflected in everything that we do. We welcome applications from all individuals irrespective of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion or belief, disability, marital status, or parental responsibilities to ensure we actively embrace an inclusive and representative culture that encourages, supports and celebrates our differences.

How to Apply

 If you believe that you are the right person for this role, please submit your CV and cover letter by Tuesday 30th June. In your cover please address clearly how your experience meets the essential criteria in the job description in no more than 750 words.

Please note that the closing date is subject to change, depending on the success of the recruitment process.

Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications, we are unable to provide detailed feedback to candidates on their application. Only short-listed applicants will be contacted after the closing date. Please note that the closing date is subject to change.

About the Warm Welcome Campaign

Founded in 2022, the Warm Welcome Campaign wants everyone in the UK to find a place of belonging and reconnection at a Warm Welcome Space near their home. We have a bold ambition to enable a more deeply connected society where we all have free access to welcoming community spaces. 

We resource, connect and champion a network of over 6,300 Warm Welcome Spaces and bring together a growing coalition of local, regional, and national partners representing the worlds of charity, faith, business, government, and philanthropy. By working together, we can unlock the power of community spaces made by and for everyone, creating a thriving network of hope and reconnection fueled by human warmth. 

We’re working hard to reach everyone with the message that a Warm Welcome is waiting for them just around the corner, all through the year. 

Throughout all our work and within our team we live out our values of being inclusive, collaborative and courageous and our personality that is friendly, adventurous and uplifting.

It’s an important moment for us – we are now in our second year of our five year strategy which shows a clear picture of the path we have set ourselves ahead to continue to deliver and deepen our impact. We now have approximately 3.5 million visitors to Warm Welcome Spaces each year. In January we delivered a hugely successful second ever Warm Welcome Week in collaboration with a wide variety of partners. 

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a purposeful and proactive individual to work within a small (but growing), friendly and dynamic team in a varied role. If you are brilliant at leading and developing complex multi-stakeholder processes and systems, and passionate for your input to shape work that makes a genuine difference to people’s lives, this could be the role for you.

The ideal candidate will be highly organised and solutions-oriented, while also bringing a creative, innovative and forward-thinking approach. 

At Warm Welcome, we value diversity and we recognise the enormous benefits and the social imperative of bringing together diverse groups of people. We therefore warmly welcome applications from a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

About The Role
At Alzheimer’s Society, no one should face dementia alone. We support people through some of the hardest moments in their lives.
As a Content Executive, you will help turn complex information into clear, practical content that people can trust. You will work in our Strategic Content Team and help shape content for people affected by dementia and to engage wider audiences to support Alzheimer’s Society’s cause.
This is a role for someone who cares about words and their impact. You will help make sure our content is accurate, easy to understand, inclusive and useful. People may read it on a phone at night, in a clinic, or with family.
People come into content roles from many paths. You might come from charity, agency, journalism, in-house communications, or another route. What matters most is your ability to create clear, helpful content.
We support different ways of working and value curiosity, learning and teamwork. We want people to do their best work in a way that works for them.
What you will do
You will create content that helps people affected by dementia by turning complex information into clear and practical guidance.
This could include editing dementia support resources, writing copy for a campaign, improving webpages, or scripting short videos and audio.
You will help ensure content meets high editorial standards, including Patient Information Forum (PIF) standards for health information. You will use feedback and insight to improve content, and you will also support work across fundraising, campaigns and wider projects.
 In your day-to-day work, you will:

- write and edit clear, accessible content across web, print, digital and scripts
- support dementia health information so it meets PIF standards
- collaborate with colleagues to meet user and organisational needs
- use feedback and insight to improve content
- support planning, quality checks and version control
- work with designers, editors and suppliers
- apply content design, SEO and accessibility principles
- support continuous improvement in how we create content

About you
You care about clear communication and using your skills to help people. You understand how the right words can support someone through difficult moments or encourage more people to support our cause. You want to use and develop your expertise to make information easier to understand, engage with and act on.
You do not need to meet every point listed here. If this feels like a role you could grow into, we would really like to hear from you.

- You are confident writing and shaping content in different ways, whether that is web pages, printed materials, audio scripts, or other formats. Your experience might come from work, study, volunteering, or something less traditional. What matters is your ability to make information clear, useful and human.
- You are comfortable adjusting how you write depending on who you are speaking to. You think about what people need in the moment and aim to create content that feels helpful, clear and engaging for the reader rather than complicated or irrelevant.
- You can keep things organised and juggle a few priorities at once. You are comfortable planning your time, and you also know when to ask for help or clarity if things feel unclear or busy.
- You enjoy working with other people and value different perspectives. You can share ideas, listen to feedback, and work with colleagues, stakeholders and freelancers in a way that helps everyone move in the same direction.
- You are naturally curious about how things could be better. That might mean trying out a new tool, improving a process, or exploring a different way of solving a problem. You do not need to have all the answers, just an interest in finding better ones, with support when needed.
- You care about making things accessible and inclusive. You think about the real people using the content, and how to make it easy to read, understand and act on, whatever someone’s situation.

Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the week commencing the 20th July via MS Teams

About Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.  

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society. 

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people. 

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply.  Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via [email protected] for application support or any adjustments you might need.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

Giving back to you

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society. 

You can also visit our Working for Us pages, which give you more information about what it's like to be an employee at the Society.
