Be part of an organisation that’s shaping health and social care
For over a century, The King’s Fund has worked to improve people’s health and care. We do this through our research, analysis and insight; leadership and organisational development with health and care leaders; convening and events; and partnering with others. With bold thinking for better health, we’re on a mission to inspire hope and confidence that we can create a world where everyone lives a healthy life.
About the role
Ensure we operate transparently and responsibly
As Governance Manager, you’ll take charge of The King’s Fund’s governance arrangements to ensure the charity runs as it should. Working closely with senior leaders, you’ll see that the support structures and processes are in place for us to meet our obligations and strategic goals.
Over the course of the year, you’ll support meetings for the Board of Trustees, the General Advisory Council and the Senior Management Team. As well as governance advice, you’ll provide administration and co-ordination; manage the reporting cycle; and keep an up-to-date register of interests.
About you
Experience is essential and you will bring with you a firm grasp of charity governance frameworks, processes and senior-level decision-making from previous role(s) within a governance role in a charity (or a similar organisation). In fact, when you’re not supporting meetings, you’ll champion governance across our team. Efficient and digitally savvy, you’ll support assurance processes and bring instant credibility.
The Fund has an ambition to increase the diversity of our workforce and introduce careers in health and care policy to a broader range of people. We encourage applicants from all sections of the community, including those from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, those with disabilities and from the LGBTQ+ community. We believe that diversity of background and experience contributes to a broader collective perspective that will improve the way we influence health and social care policy.
What you'll get in return
The Fund is committed to a hybrid working model that meets the organisation’s needs, while giving staff flexibility to choose between office and home working. Most staff are expected to work a minimum of 40% from our central London office and are free to work more days from the office if they prefer. This role may need to be in the office more than 40% of the time (e.g. to support meetings).
In addition to a competitive salary, The King’s Fund offers generous holiday entitlements, a £3 daily discount in our café and an on-site gym.

About Us
We are a world-class visitor attraction and leading science research centre. We use the Museum's unique collections and our unrivalled expertise to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world today. We care for more than 80 million objects spanning billions of years and welcome more than five million visitors annually and 16 million visits to our website.
Today the Museum is more relevant and influential than ever. By attracting people from a range of backgrounds to work for us, we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things.
We employ 1100 staff in a variety of roles, all united by our vision of a future where people and planet thrive. We need everyone to have the passion and drive to help us with our mission to create advocates for our planet and inspire millions to care about the natural world.
Diversity and inclusion matter to us.
Our vision is of a future where both people and the planet thrive. Diversity is one of our core values and we strive to build a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging. All new staff who join us learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion to the Museum and how to contribute to creating an inclusive environment.
We know we have more to do, but we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works at the Museum feels they can thrive and feel valued and respected.
About the role
As Social Media Video Producer, you’ll be at the heart of one of the UK’s most exciting social media teams, specialising in short-form video content that brings the Natural History Museum’s extraordinary collections, science and stories to life. Your work will spark curiosity about nature and inspire audiences to visit the Museum and take positive action for our world, ultimately helping us achieve our mission of creating advocates for the planet.
This is a specialist role focused on the creation, filming and editing of short-form video content, including for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts and emerging platforms. You’ll be a native short-form creator – someone who lives and breathes the platforms, understands what makes thumb-stopping content, and can turn a fascinating specimen or nature fact into compelling, shareable video content, often at speed.
A typical week will see you filming and editing short-form video on your phone daily using native editing tools (e.g. TikTok editor, CapCut) and Adobe Premiere Pro, responding to trends in real time, pitching creative video ideas, and collaborating closely with the Social Media Executives and Social Media Manager to deliver a bold and impactful content calendar. You’ll also work alongside our Studios team on opportunities to adapt or complement longer-form video content.
You will apply your video skills to tell the amazing stories behind our fascinating collection of over 80 million objects, our 150-year history and our 350+ in-house scientists working to better understand nature and enable a future where people and planet thrive.
This role reports to the Social Media Manager and is part of the wider Digital Content team. It will require occasional weekend or evening work (for example when covering special events or breaking news moments) and may offer the opportunity for some travel, including to our sites at Tring and Reading. You’ll benefit from flexible working (with at least two days per week in the office), training and development opportunities, and the chance to work at the UK’s favourite museum where social media video is recognised as a strategically important and rapidly growing part of how we connect with audiences worldwide.
About you
You're a short-form video specialist who lives and breathes social media — someone who instinctively knows what will stop the scroll, can read a trend before it peaks, and makes fast creative decisions without losing sight of quality. You have a strong portfolio of short-form video work for brands on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts or equivalent, and you're expert at filming and editing on mobile using native tools. You have an instinctive feel for pacing, sound and visual storytelling — and ideally, you're as comfortable in front of the camera as behind it.
You can demonstrate a mix of brave creative instincts and editorial judgement. You'll find the compelling angle in a potentially complex story and translate it into content that's genuinely engaging, accurate and responsible. You're not afraid to take risks, bring humour and emotion to your work, and pitch bold ideas — but you're also organised, collaborative and able to manage multiple projects to tight deadlines. You're excited about the opportunity to build strong relationships with scientists, curators and colleagues across a range of teams that result in great content. And, you're comfortable using performance data not just to understand what works and doesn't (and help colleagues understand the same), but to shape what you do next to maximise engagements and views across our social channels.
We're looking for someone who really cares about what the Natural History Museum stands for. Whether it's showing Hope the whale being hoovered, answering fan questions and requests in comment reply videos, or coming up with our next viral breakthrough video series, you're motivated by the potential to make millions of people genuinely excited about the natural world.
Thriving at the Museum: the way we work
We are proud to work at the Museum and have identified the qualities we all need to embody to reach our shared ambition. This sits alongside the Museum’s values and forms the framework for the way we work.

We work in partnership with the people we support, recognising strengths, encouraging independence and always putting our clients at the heart of what we do.
Our strapline, “It’s what you can do that matters.” is more than just words on page, it’s the belief that underpins everything we do, and reflected in our values and the way we work.
Over the last 40 years, we have provided services and support for adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and additional physical and sensory disabilities, working alongside our clients to create meaningful opportunities, encourage independence and recognise everyone’s strengths and potential.

As Day Opportunities Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operation and management of our service, ensuring that the people we support receive high-quality, meaningful and personalised opportunities.You will lead and develop a committed team, foster a positive and inclusive culture, and ensure the service continues to evolve and grow.
As a senior manager, you will also contribute to the wider success of the organisation and provide support and deputise for colleagues when required.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who genuinely lives our values and can inspire others to do the same.
You’ll bring:
• A passion for supporting people to live full and meaningful lives.
• Previous leadership or management experience working with adults with disabilities in day opportunities or a similar setting.
• The ability to lead, motivate and develop a dedicated team.
• Strong organisational and administrative skills.
• A proactive, positive and solution-focused approach.
• The confidence to build positive relationships with the people we support, their families and professionals.
