We’re looking for a strategic, creative and collaborative Head of Brand and Marketing to lead our public identity, supporter engagement and campaign visibility. This is a key leadership role responsible for shaping how we present our work, grow our profile and inspire support for people affected by serious and life changing injury.
This role will lead the work to shape and strengthen the Day One brand, ensuring it is consistent, inclusive and compelling across every touchpoint, from national fundraising campaigns to service information. Responsible for leading and developing a small, talented team creating a supportive environment where creativity and collaboration thrive. Working closely with colleagues across Fundraising and Services, you’ll bring teams together around shared campaigns and supporter journeys that deepen engagement and expand our reach. This role blends high-level strategic planning with practical delivery leadership ideal for someone who thrives in purpose-led environments and wants to build a brand that truly makes a difference.
What You Will Bring
You’ll bring experience in brand and marketing that goes beyond delivery with a track record of shaping how an organisation is seen, understood and supported. That might be from the charity sector, or from campaigns that focused on health, justice or hidden disabilities. You may have worked on sensitive storytelling, built public trust, or led bold campaigns that asked people to think differently.
Or you might bring experience from a commercial or corporate brand environment with a strong sense of audience insight, creative direction and campaign strategy and a desire to apply that thinking to a cause with real impact.
Wherever you come from, you’ll understand the value of a trusted brand and how powerful it can be when it's clear, consistent and human. You’ll be stepping into a space where strong foundations already exist and bringing the skills, energy and confidence to help us go further. To strengthen how Day One Trauma Support shows up, build our reach, and grow a brand that truly reflects who we are and the difference we make.
