Seven years on, we’ve built a successful, close-knit team of twelve and a solid reputation for a high quality service that delivers excellent results. Our flexible and positive culture has been key to our success; we’ve strived to make this a great place to work, with collaboration, supportive leadership and highly motivating commission and benefits at the centre of our practice.

Our client base is very well-established, and it will be a small step to secure marketing and communications vacancies via these HR, CEO and director-level networks that already account for the bulk of our fundraising business. This is the right time for us to diversify formally into this area of work, capitalising on our brand and success. 

The role

We’re looking for an experienced, high-performing marketing/communications recruiter to lead this growth with us, launching a new area of the business. One with huge potential that we’ve spent years preparing for. You will work closely with both owners and the business development team to leverage existing relationships, secure quality marcomms vacancies and develop a candidate base, working a mixture of exclusive and quality contingent vacancies.

• Q5 is registered with CycleScheme, allowing employees to purchase a bike in a tax-efficient way through a salary sacrifice scheme.

• Competitive pension (3% you, 4% us)

• Exceptional maternity and paternity benefits

Why us?

• Our business overwhelmingly comes from recommendations and networking

• We’ve recently appointed two new business developers to further drive our growth

• Less PSL work, more exclusive and retained jobs with quality briefs

• We actively build on individuals’ strengths rather than using KPIs to drive generic activities

• Supportive, collaborative culture – we collectively evolve best practice and learn together

• Our consultants actively contribute to the direction of the business

We take great pride and care in finding and developing new team members, and are happy to have informal phone or face-to-face conversations with suitable candidates. If you're a successful recruiter who's tired of suits, being forced to work poor quality jobs, 08:30-18:00 hours and the nonsense that comes with management by boardroom, this is a brilliant opportunity to do all the bits of your job you love and lose the stuff you don't.

What the job involves
We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated Direct Marketing professional to join our Individual Giving Team, focusing on acquisition and new products. Direct Marketing plays an important role in the Charity’s fundraising and overall corporate strategy, and we are looking for a confident and proactive fundraiser to take responsibility for the delivery and ongoing development of our current acquisition programmes and new products.

You will deliver timely, targeted, relevant and engaging communications to our various audiences, with the aim of recruiting new, and re-engaging lapsed regular and cash, supporters. You will project manage new and existing direct marketing products and initiatives, in addition to working closely with internal and external stakeholders to create quality, targeted campaigns and maximise campaign performance.

What we want from you
Aside from excellent knowledge and experience of working in a direct marketing environment, which includes developing and implementing acquisition direct marketing campaigns, you will also have a range of channel experience and marketing knowledge.

You will possess first class communication skills, a strong team ethic and will be at ease working with internal and external stakeholders at all levels. The ability to manage budgets and projects is also essential, along with proven knowledge of data protection and sector compliance. Knowledge of direct marking and fundraising law would be advantageous.

Why work for us?
We have a simple ambition – to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention and support, we can make prostate cancer a disease the next generation of men need not fear. Be part of a team that will put an end to prostate cancer being a killer.

The support we’ll provide
Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will help you learn, develop your skills and expertise, and achieve your highest aspirations. We provide everything you’d expect from a professional organisation – competitive benefits package, contributory pension scheme, life insurance and season ticket loan – but much more besides. Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.
