About the role

This is a unique opportunity to join a complex, high-impact programme that connects schools, communities, young people, researchers and policymakers, shaping a more inclusive and effective model of climate action across England. You would be joining a team that has been running impactful projects for 19 years, which centres the voices, needs and potential of young people to bring about change.

Together, we are building a bold new model for climate action, one that connects grassroots communities, young leaders, researchers and policymakers through collaboration, co-learning and shared purpose.
At its core, BELIEVE recognises that climate change is not only a scientific or political challenge, but a deeply human one.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a pioneering, cross-sector initiative that is reshaping how climate action happens in England. BELIEVE connects local and national efforts, linking schools, communities and decision-makers in a dynamic network designed to create lasting environmental and social change.

About the Faith & Belief Forum

Our team is diverse, talented, sensitive, and creative. We value building meaningful connection amongst ourselves, and with our partners and stakeholders. We believe that a central solution to tackling division, polarisation and hate is expertly facilitated, and heartfelt, connection. In our projects this takes place through education, dialogue, social action projects, mentoring, training and development, public engagement events, and community led responses to local issues.

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
- Lead on recruiting and onboarding organisational members, presenting a compelling and credible proposition to senior nursing leaders and executive stakeholders.
- Act as the primary point of contact for members, building strong, trusted relationships and ensuring members maximise the value of their engagement with FNF.
- Support the design and delivery of member engagement activity, including webinars, virtual and in-person events, roundtables and networking opportunities.
- Oversee the coordination and development of educational and engagement resources, working with subject matter experts, suppliers and internal teams.
- Play a key role in the delivery of a new individual membership pilot, helping shape how this offer is designed, tested and implemented.
- Manage end-to-end delivery of member webinars and events, including speaker liaison, logistics, facilitation and follow-up.
- Maintain accurate membership records and engagement data, using Salesforce to support reporting, insight and continuous improvement.
- Provide a high-quality, responsive service, managing a busy inbox and handling a wide range of member queries and requests.
- Work collaboratively across the organisation, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration and shared learning.
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:
- Experience in membership, engagement, relationship management or account management, ideally within a charity, membership body, professional association or similar environment.
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders, including executives and subject matter experts.
- Strong project coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple activities, events or workstreams at the same time.
- Experience of delivering or supporting events, webinars or member engagement activity.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a warm, professional and adaptable style.
- Strong administrative and digital skills, including confidence using CRMs (Salesforce desirable, or the ability to learn quickly).
- A practical, proactive approach - comfortable with both high-level conversations and detailed delivery work.
- An interest in health, care, nursing or midwifery (clinical background not required; curiosity and willingness to learn are essential).
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.

Do you want to join an organisation committed to addressing low literacy and numeracy levels amongst people in the criminal justice system?
We’ve made substantial progress in recent years, with improvements and expansions to our delivery model and significant growth in our staff team. In Spring 2026, we will launch our refreshed organisational strategy, which will shape our work over the next three years and beyond. To support this growth, we are recruiting for a full time National Director of Operations to lead our delivery across England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and emerging community settings, with an ambition to reach Scotland. This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in scaling our impact and strengthening our presence across the criminal justice system and beyond.
As National Director of Operations, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for our learning programmes in prisons and community settings. You will ensure high‑quality, consistent and accessible delivery, overseeing a team of six Regional Managers and a wider workforce of around 65 staff, volunteers and over 2,000 peer mentors trained each year.
Working closely with senior colleagues, partner organisations and national bodies such as HMPPS, you will drive programme excellence, innovation and partnership working. You will also play a key role in new business development, operational strategy, contractual delivery and ensuring we can reliably demonstrate the impact of our work.
The role requires an experienced operational leader with a deep commitment to improving outcomes for people facing disadvantage. You will bring:
- Senior leadership experience in a complex, multi‑site environment.
- A track record of delivering large-scale programmes and leading distributed teams.
- Strong strategic thinking, problem‑solving and relationship‑building skills.
- Experience working with statutory bodies or large public-sector partners (e.g. HMPPS).
- Excellent judgement, communication skills and the ability to influence at all levels.
- Understanding of the criminal justice system, safeguarding, or alternative education environments (desirable).
- A collaborative, inclusive leadership style aligned with Shannon Trust’s values.
We want to hear from applicants who are as committed to the cause as we are.
This is a home-based role but will require travel around the UK including overnight stays. This role is 5 days per week (35 hours) with working days/hours to be mutually agreed in line with business needs.
Employee benefits include a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, paid volunteering days, discounts via Reward Gateway and an Employee Assistance Programme. The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions. This role does require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
Interviews, which will be held online, are planned for the w/c 18th May.
All applications must include a CV and covering letter of no more than 2 pages which outlines your suitability for the role and how you meet the person specification.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
