If you have a strong understanding of the impact of the violence, racial inequity and systemic injustice on marginalised communities and are passionate about empowering those most affected to create a change, then we can’t wait to hear from you!

ABOUT US

The 4Front Project is a member-led youth organisation empowering young people and communities to fight for justice, peace and freedom. The organisation was established in 2012 to provide a platform for those who have been impacted by violence to create change. We support members with experiences of violence and the criminal justice system to create change in their own lives, communities and society.

Over the last eight years, we have pioneered an approach that empowers those most directly harmed by violence and the criminal justice system to be at the forefront of a grassroots movement for change. Our holistic model has been designed specifically to support young people aged 13 - 25 with complex needs as a result of multiple systemic disadvantages and disproportionate exposure to serious violence. By advocating for a holistic approach to build peace, we are transforming the way in which society understands how to support young people who have been affected by violence and shaping the agenda around how to tackle the systemic causes of it. 

We acknowledge the impact of racism and discrimination on our members and actively work to dismantle these systems, whilst supporting members to recognise their strengths and identify systemic barriers to their progress. In this way, we support 4Front members to make changes in their own lives, whilst exploring the inequity they’ve experienced and amplifying their voices to create systemic change. Becoming a member means joining a powerful youth-led movement for change that is transforming the way peace and justice are understood by centring healing, rather than punishment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a formidable Campaigns and Communications Coordinator to develop our transformative campaigning work and support young change makers to take the lead. You care deeply about revolutionising society and are personally invested in fighting for justice and equity. You can hold emotion and know how to create safe spaces for people to explore their experiences and build their sense of identity. You have experience working on campaigns that transform policy. You are well networked, already a part of groups that are tackling social justice issues and keen to actively research and network with other organisations that will become our partners and allies. You understand the power of effective communication to change minds and have interesting and unique ideas about how to get a message across. You have worked or volunteered as a mentor and you’re dedicated to tackling social justice issues. You are comfortable with conflict and have experience of managing difficult conversations to successful resolutions. You see courage in vulnerability and believe in building the resilience of young people. Most importantly, you are committed to peace and you fundamentally believe in the potential to change, both at an individual and societal level. You will be a visionary leader, seeing your work at The 4Front Project as a crucial part of your identity and purpose in life. You will be committed to upholding our vision, mission, principles and values at all times. You will be bold, actively contributing to a workplace culture that centres justice, healing, change and hope. You will play a fundamental role in supporting The 4Front Project to change society for the better.

Senior Direct Marketing Officer, Supporter Engagement

Salary: £30,763 per annum + good range of benefits

Contract: Permanent – 36.5 hours per week

Based: Milton Keynes

World Vision is an international children’s charity working with children, their communities, and with supporters and partners, in almost 100 countries.

Through long-term development projects, emergency responses and advocacy we’ve helped bring lasting change to millions of children, over more than 60 years. And as a Christian organisation, everything we do is motivated by our faith as we strive to reflect God’s unconditional love.

Work for World Vision UK and you will be part of a truly global Partnership, building brighter futures for vulnerable children.

Looking to take your fundraising and marketing career to another level and use your skills where they really matter?

We have an exciting opportunity for an exceptional direct marketing professional to join the Supporter Engagement team within our Fundraising Group.

With strategic oversight of our growing single giving programme, you’ll be responsible for leading our annual calendar of appeals. You will inspire our supporters and raise vital funds to change and improve the lives of millions of vulnerable children around the world. And you’ll develop a nurture journey to ensure our supporters feel valued and see the impact of their giving.

Working across a range of key fundraising campaigns, each day in this role will be different – from creating concepts, developing creatives and producing digital content for our website, through to agency management, data selection, analysis and insight.

As a senior member of the team, you'll be a strategic thinker who can shape and execute fundraising strategies and line manage marketing team members. You see the bigger picture but have an eye for detail and fantastic relationship-building skills. You'll be confident working with data and carrying out rigorous testing and detailed data analysis to understand campaign results. And you’ll have an understanding of digital and multi-channel marketing to maximise fundraising income.

To perform well in this role, you’ll need:

· Experience gained in a fundraising, direct marketing or digital marketing role

· Strong project management skills in order to deliver end-to-end marketing campaigns

· A track record in analysing direct marketing results and using insight to drive innovation and improve campaign performance

· Experience of delivering integrated marketing campaigns across a range of channels including direct mail, online, email, and social media

· The ability to work independently to drive innovation, creativity and results

· Experience of line-management, supervision or coaching of staff.

As an active Christian, this role offers you the opportunity to integrate your Christian faith and be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations.

In addition to the salary offered, we offer good benefits including pension, generous holiday entitlement and free parking. Like many organisations we’re mainly working remotely right now, and longer-term this role could be carried out in part remotely. The role will have a significant stakeholder management component to it as well as a strong emphasis on networking and relationship building internally, so the postholder would need to be in the Milton Keynes office 2-3 times per week.

Please upload your CV of full employment history explaining any gaps of employment and reasons for leaving your previous employer. This must be accompanied with a covering letter stating how you meet the essential criteria given in the Job Description.

Closing Date for applications: 11th October 2020

There has never been a more exciting time to join the HEY Smile Foundation team. Our work spans across the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), as well as connecting opportunities with the private and public sector.

We are connected, joining assets to community knowledge, creativity and inspiration. We are helping VCSE organisations of all shapes and sizes be heard and play a part in solutions, not just highlight community problems.

We have grown significantly in the last 11 years but are still agile enough to respond to the communities need, not prescribe the same methodology ‘because that’s what has always been done’.

We are sustainable in our own right. Whilst developing others, we have ensured we had one eye on our own platform, securing £3m in assets and generating an average of £800k turnover a year in earned income to by masters of our own destiny and focus on the Wow not Woe in our communities across the Hull, East Riding and Northern Lincolnshire.

A key function of our work is our Smile Health stream. We develop and lead NHS charities to make funds work harder, last longer and go further. We currently lead multiple NHS charities across the UK.

Locally we lead and support the Health Tree Foundation at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust and Health Stars at Humber NHS Teaching Foundation Trust.

As a result of NHS Charities Together recent successful COVID-19 Emergency Appeal, NHS Charities have been able to apply for those vital funds. Both Health Tree Foundation and Health Stars were recently successful in securing grant funding for a Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) Wellbeing and Wellness project for the Humber Coast and Vale Integrated Care System geographical footprint.

We wish to set up the project to help and support the BAME communities in our Integrated Care System who have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19.  The project will focus on, wellbeing, peer support and will be a place where we can connect people who have shared life experiences as well as a reach out befriending service for those who are shielding and self-isolating.

Our idea is based on the Manchester Resilience hub network and the work delivered by the charity NESTAC. Initially it will be a phone help line and an email contact service. Long term we hope to expand the service to being a physical hub.  We have entered into a partnership with NESTAC to get their support to establish the project.

We want to reach out and engage with our BAME community members and provide a sustainable support project which will adapt and grow to their needs.  We will adopt strategies for long term engagement, development and success.  Our project will take a holistic approach, including cultural, language and religious needs. We will provide one-to-one support to individuals as well as group support, workshops, family support and wellbeing screening whilst adhering to social distancing and Covid safety rules.

To lead on this project we are recruiting a BAME Wellbeing Coordinator.

The role will report to our Head of Smile Health and work across the two charities and NHS trusts. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has knowledge of the Black, Asian, and Minority ethnic community to shape a project to have a huge impact.

Initially the role is fixed term for 12 months due to funding we have in place. We’d like to hope that within the year we will be able to apply for further funds to continue the role and would like to expand the project to serving more disadvantaged communities.

This is a development opportunity and we are looking for someone who is innovative and can help us to take this project to the next level.
