From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.

The shared soul of the organisation is to be passionate about helping young people from less-advantaged backgrounds; build up other charities and community groups and want to partner with them or support them; want to work with businesses and organisations to get things done; and care deeply about addressing racial inequity generally (and anti-Blackness in particular). The people here work hard, are good at what they do, and for so many it is ‘home’, with an average tenure of 11 years. It’s a nice environment to be in, friendly, flexible and one that gives you the reward of making a tangible difference in people’s lives – it’s great.

As the Head of Brand Marketing, you will lead on delivering a best-in-class brand strategy and marketing. You will be passionate about the use of audience insight to drive and evolve the development of our brand. And you will have the skills to influence and empower all parts of UNICEF UK to embed the brand consistently within their areas, working to ensure all stakeholders engage with the brand.

To achieve this, you will have a track record of successfully developing, implementing and evaluating brand-building strategies in large, complex organisations, that have created shifts in brand perception and have created organisational stand-out.

About us

We are Orthopaedic Research UK (ORUK), one of the very few medical research charities, investing our funds to encourage breakthrough research and education programmes in bone, joint and muscle wellbeing. Our aim is to reduce the burden of poor musculoskeletal (MSK) health on individuals, workplaces and our health system.

The need we serve is ever worsening: 19m people suffer from MSK problems in the UK, costing the NHS £5bn per year, resulting in ever-lengthening NHS waiting lists, and the loss of 30m working days to the UK economy.

We fund innovative research projects in the UK that expand knowledge, improve patient outcomes and pioneer new forms of MSK diagnosis and treatment. Our investment makes a real difference to the lives of millions of people suffering poor MSK health, today and into the future. Since 2004 we have invested £11m on research on 140 projects in the UK. Over the next three years we plan to invest a further £2.5 on research and attract £0.5m in partner contributions.

We support education, primarily through workshops, training courses, lectures, virtual conferences and webinars that will improve knowledge of MSK conditions. During the past year we staged 55 events and in total we educated 8,303 healthcare professionals with the support of 491 faculty members. On average, 98% of participants rated our events as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ in terms of educational value.

Despite the tremendous burden placed on individuals and society, MSK health does not always receive the attention or investment that it merits. This is why, in addition to using our funds to fill the most important gaps in research funding and professional education, we work with partners, such as leading professional institutions, to attract additional investment to the sector.

By working together and sharing knowledge and ideas, we can become a stronger voice for MSK health.

Purpose of the role

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Communication and Marketing Manager to join our team to take ownership of engaging with our MSK community in order to drive the education, research, reach and profile of Orthopaedic Research UK’s activities. The role will focus on:

1. Growing the market demand for our training courses and events for healthcare professionals working within MSK disciplines
2. Inspiring researchers to innovate, translate, and disseminate results of their research works
3. Engaging partners including Universities, industry, commercial organisations, Charities, donors, etc.
4. Developing and growing the MSK community to achieve the vision of the charity
5. Reporting our charitable activities and impact on society.

In this role you will manage a portfolio of communications and marketing activities that engage, inspire and inform the MSK community about our work. Through your understanding of these audiences and your innovative approach, you will manage, develop and deliver a range of communication channels to support the bespoke marketing and communication needs of research and education-facing teams in ORUK.

This is an exciting opportunity to make your mark within a small well-established charity that has ambitious growth plans and a ‘can do’ mentality. We are a small, vibrant and agile team that encourages creative and innovative thinking.

Due to COVID-19, the team is currently following a hybrid model of work although this is subject to regular review. This role will be required to work remotely 3-4 days a week. Most of our educational activities are still taking place online but we are now returning to some of our face-to-face programmes.

Reporting directly to CEO.

The University of East London Students' Union is a membership organisation set up to ensure students are empowered to have a full university experience. We offer our members opportunities to meet new people, explore interests and establish mechanisms to improve their course and University.

The head of marketing and insight will be responsible for transforming the Students’ Union’s approach to engagement with our members, clients and other stakeholders. This will involve using the new marketing and communications team to undertake meaningful communication with all our stakeholders and implementing new ways of working driven by an insight function which will build our understanding of members’ needs.

The new head will face some big challenges such as developing an engagement strategy which addresses engagement in all areas of our work, developing and rolling out a new brand for the Students’ Union, and building the Students’ Union’s profile among members and staff in the University and in our local communities. You will be educated to degree level or you will have significant equivalent experience in marketing, communications, research or similar. You will also have experience of developing and implementing engagement strategies. This would ideally be in a membership, not-for-profit or other similar organisation, but that is not essential. Students’ Union experience is not required.
