That’s where The Talent Foundry comes in. For over 15 years our charity has been delivering free, high-energy school programmes that boost young people’s confidence, uncover their potential, and connect them to a world of career possibilities.

We’re now looking for a creative marketing maestro to bring the fire, excitement, and impact we see in the classroom into our communications and school engagement activities. From inspiring teachers and students through to showcasing our amazing partnerships and programmes (reaching nearly 65,000 young people last year!), we have incredible stories waiting to be told.

As our new Marketing Manager you will plan and manage day-to-day content creation and digital communications to engage teachers and careers advisors, as well as support our wider team to showcase the exciting and inspiring programmes and partnerships we deliver across the UK.

You’ll be a creative project manager, someone who is action-orientated, a completer-finisher and enjoys seeing results.

• Marketing to our network of educators
• Developing our profile and sharing our impact

The Task Ahead

As The Difference moves from its early start-up phase into the delivery of our 2025-30 strategy, our programmes and sector-influencing work are expanding to reach more schools and to deepen our impact. 

As Communications and Marketing Lead, you will be a key member of the Research, Impact & Influence team. You will hold end-to-end responsibility for the communications and marketing function, from developing impactful content to executing high-profile events. You will decide where and how our existing processes could be improved, as well as developing new strategies that will underpin our work as a larger and more established charity. 

The Difference is still a small and growing charity. This means that our work is fast-paced, our roles are broad, and there is a culture of being reactive and flexible, as the needs of the organisation evolve. If this sounds exciting rather than daunting, then this could be the role and team for you!

Areas of Responsibility

The Difference is looking for a Communications and Marketing Lead to lead our this function in the following ways:

Communications

• Storytelling & content relation: Produce engaging and informative content that showcases the impact of The Difference's work and resonates with target audiences. Develop compelling narratives and case studies that demonstrate the value of our programs and services, effectively communicating our impact and expertise.

• Media Relations & brand awareness: Proactively build relationships with journalists and key influencers to secure coverage that advances our mission and drives engagement. Support The Difference team to draft and deliver engaging and high quality content in a range of styles. Cultivate The Difference's profile and influence by planning and placing articles, blog posts, social media campaigns and reports for sector-specific and national press.

Marketing

• Sales & Marketing: Drive sales for our school leadership programmes and events through targeted marketing campaigns, including social media, developing compelling collateral, managing online advertising, and exploring innovative approaches to reach potential clients and partners.
   

• Conference Management: Lead the planning, organisation, and execution of conferences and events, including our annual IncludED conference as well as smaller focus events, designed to generate direct sales and raise awareness of The Difference's work. This includes managing budgets, logistics, marketing, and delegate experience to ensure successful and impactful events.

• Events presence: Identify and map out key events where The Difference should have a presence throughout the year. Support the wider Difference team to ensure delivery and presence feeds back to sales.
   

Person Specification

• Proven track record in marketing and communications, ideally within the children’s services or non-profit sector. This will include:

  • A demonstrable understanding of marketing principles and digital marketing best practices to achieve specific goals (e.g. sales targets and/or creating policy change)

  • Proficiency in social media marketing and campaigning and using digital tools to maximise impact

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills to craft compelling narratives with different audiences, including the education sector and local and national government

• Strategic thinker with the ability to translate organisational goals into impactful communication and marketing plans. You can connect the dots between The Difference's mission and specific communication and marketing activities.

• Experience engaging with media outlets and creating compelling content for the press. You have a knack for storytelling and can produce high-quality content that resonates with target audiences.

• Experience in planning and executing successful events. You can manage the logistics and deliver engaging experiences for attendees.

• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work effectively in a team. You are a collaborative team player who can build positive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.

• Passion for The Difference's mission and improving the lives of vulnerable children. You are genuinely committed to making a difference in the lives of young people facing challenges.

• Political Acumen: Experience providing strategic and tactical political advice to senior leadership on how to create change.

• Leadership & Development: Experience in coaching and developing staff.

• Lived Experience: Insight into the school experiences of marginalised young people, including those with experience of the care system, mental ill health, special educational needs, and racism.

Why Work for The Difference?

Schooling isn’t working for the children who need it most. Every week in England 109 children – equivalent to three full classrooms – are permanently excluded. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Since the pandemic, school suspensions have risen significantly, as has persistent absenteeism. 1 in 5 children are missing more than 10% of their time in school. Children who are excluded or persistently absent are much more likely to already be experiencing vulnerability or disadvantage. They are more likely to live in poverty, have additional learning needs, suffer mental health challenges, or experience a lack of safety outside school. Certain ethnicities are also disproportionately affected, notably Gypsy Roma Traveller and black Caribbean children. 

Exclusion and high rates of absence can have a dramatic effect on life chances. These young people are more likely to drop out of education or employment, become vulnerable to long-term mental ill health, or be at risk of criminal exploitation. The Difference believes that children and young people deserve better and that the education system has to change.

Our Organisation 

The Difference is a young education charity, founded to change the story on lost learning.  By 2030, we want rates of exclusion and absence to be falling nationally and for schools to be better equipped to support all children, including those who may be vulnerable.
The Difference was born out of a year of research into school exclusions with think-tank IPPR. This research identified a lack of inclusion expertise in schools and proposed a new leadership development programme to fill this gap. In 2018, Difference founder Kiran hired the team who took this idea from concept to reality, beginning work with our first schools. In September 2024, we published a follow-up report: Who is Losing Learning? This report broadened our definition of ‘exclusions’ to include lost learning from absence, as well as suspensions and permanent exclusions.

The Difference is now a 22-strong team delivering multiple school leadership programmes, alongside a growing research and policy arm. This work is needed more than ever. Effects of COVID-19, coupled with the spiralling cost of living, have substantially increased levels of vulnerability. Schools serving excluded pupils face under-funding. The Difference has had excellent early impact but there is work ahead to capture this, share learning with schools and policy-makers, and grow our capacity to lower exclusions across England.

Our Values

• Relationships underpin success - Strong relationships and the safety they bring are the foundation of achievement - for children, for school staff, in our workplace and in our collaborations. They enable higher trust, challenging feedback, bolder work and stronger impact.
   

• We build stronger from assets  - Every child, family, school and community has strengths and successes. We avoid deficit-labels about teachers, children and families, and instead focus on building from what’s strong. 

• Systems shape opportunities - Actions always take place within systems. These can help or hinder individuals. We recognise the role of policy and structural inequalities and address them directly in our work. 
   

• Agency makes the difference - Bold leadership by individuals can create significant and lasting change. We are proactive in addressing problems and seeking out opportunities. 

How To Apply 

To apply, please complete all sections of the application form by midnight on Sunday 2nd of February.

First round interviews will be held during the week beginning Monday the 3rd of February, over video call. 

If successful in this stage, second round interviews (including a task to be completed the same day) will take place on the week beginning Monday 10th of February, at our office in Bethnal Green. 

Please indicate if you would not be available to attend an interview during this timeframe.

We are committed to building a diverse team and strongly encourage applications from under-represented groups in the charity sector such as people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, people with experience in the care system, non-graduates and first-in-family graduates. 

As part of our commitment to fairer recruitment, all applications will be assessed with names and any protected characteristics redacted.  

Please note that we are not able to provide working visas and therefore cannot hire anyone that does not have the right to work in the UK.

An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Communications & Marketing Officer to join our dynamic social mobility charity which exists to remove the barriers that prevent children and young people having meaningful access to the natural world.  Through a week on one of our three heritage farms, Nethercott House in Devon, Lower Treginnis in Pembrokeshire, and Wick Court in Gloucestershire, children and young people experience increased learning and engagement, improved connections and wellbeing, and leave us with an enhanced sense of environmental citizenship.  Visiting children are immersed in the natural world of countryside through a food and farming offer that allows them to participate in the seasonal tasks of the day: sowing, growing and harvesting in our kitchen gardens; caring for livestock and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown feast in the farmhouse kitchen. In partnership with our commercial farming neighbours, children experience the benefits of collaboration, enjoy plenty of physical activity, good food, and fresh air, and discover the magical rural environment that is full of new words, sounds and experiences to inspire their creativity. Spending time working alongside real farmers fosters children’s independence and helps them to grow in confidence, develops their self-esteem, and encourages them to become more resilient.

About the Role

The Communications & Marketing Officer is responsible for producing and managing high quality content on the Farms for City Children website, social media channels and other communications assets which will promote and raise awareness of the charity to existing and potential donors, partners, schools, and groups, supporting the charity’s fundraising efforts and recruiting new beneficiaries to the farms.

The majority of the work will be home-based, but due to the farm locations we are looking for someone based in the South West England or South East Wales to ensure that travel expenses are manageable for the Charity. There will be regular travel to the Charity’s three farms in Devon, Pembrokeshire, and Gloucestershire. A full driving licence is essential as the farms are in remote locations and not accessible by public transport.

The post is a full-time role working 35 hours per week over five days. Our usual office hours are Monday to Friday between 9:00am and 5:00pm. A degree of flexibility is available in the working pattern for this role, so someone wishing to work 30 hours per week would be considered.

For full details about the role, please see the Job Description and Person Specification and Job Information Pack.

Appointments will not be confirmed until the Charity has received two satisfactory professional references, evidence of the existing proof of right to work in the UK. Referees will not be contacted without candidates’ prior consent.

Farms for City Children is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Successful candidates will be subject to a Social Media check and a DBS check at the appropriate level. Employment with the charity is conditional upon the charity being satisfied with the result of the DBS Check. Successful candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.  Any criminal records information that is disclosed to the charity will be handled in accordance with any guidance and/or code of practice published by the DBS.

Farms for City Children is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity and supports and encourages under-represented groups.  We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, with diverse lived experience, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

What we Offer

In return you will receive a starting salary of £28,000 per annum and a range of benefits, which include:

· 25 days annual leave plus 8 bank holidays

· 6% employer contribution to NEST pension scheme

· Employee Assistance Programme

How to Apply

Deadline for applications is midday on Friday 24 January 2025.

Interviews: Tuesday 4 February 2024 (online)
