We are looking for a skilled and motivated Communications Lead to manage the communications for the charity including overseeing the strategic delivery on all communications for our programmes, services, campaigns and fundraising.

• Salary: £26,000 to £29,000, depending on experience (pro rata)
• Hours: 28 per week (0.8 FTE), with flexible working hours offered
• Location: GMYN offices in central Manchester, with flexible homeworking arrangements

Who are GMYN?

For many young people, the transition to adulthood isn’t easy. In the UK, one third of young people are lonely, half feel unready for work and half feel like they don’t belong to their community.

Our vision is #YoungPeopleCan and we help young people in Greater Manchester overcome this. We deliver a range of development programmes and drop-in activities to help young people aged 13-25 transition to adulthood feeling skilled, supported and positive.

Communications at GMYN:

Communications spans across the whole of GMYN, from supporting delivery staff to best promote their programmes, through crafting messaging to generate income, to providing advice and guidance on social media and personal branding to the Senior Management Team. With support from our part time Communications Assistant, the Communications Lead plays a strategic role in designing and implementing communications functions across the charity.

In April 2021, we launched our new three-year strategic plan, which lays out ambitious goals. Our key communications priorities centre around inclusion and youth voice: developing our communications and practices to become evermore accessible to all, and to support young people in Greater Manchester to have their say on the issues that matter to them.

To Apply:

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, even if you don’t feel like your experience ticks every box on the person specification. While we are looking for some specific skills, we are much more interested in attitude, personal qualities and passion.

We also know that different people have relevant experience from many different aspects of life: at GMYN, we value lived experience just as much as we value experience gained through employment, volunteering or study.

Essential Criteria:

• Demonstrable experience of working in a communications role or a role with similar transferable skills that has achieved results for the organisation.
   
• Experience of developing and implementing communication strategies or project plans.
   
• Strong ability to tailor messaging to different stakeholders including staff team, young people and decision-makers.
   
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present confidently and provide support and feedback to team members.
   
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to proof read and quality check written documents.
   
• Ability to self-manage, work independently to targets but also join up your work with the rest of the Fundraising & Development Team.
   
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and workstreams with a “can do” attitude in order to produce positive results.
   
• Experience of researching and using data/statistics to demonstrate and communicate impact.
   
• Ability to produce compelling comms messages and campaigns to promote the work and impact of GMYN in order to generate support.

Desirable Criteria:

• Skills and knowledge of using relevant software: Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Photoshop); Microsoft Office (Publisher, Word, PowerPoint).
   
• Experience of creating and adapting content for print and digital (flyers, e- flyers, social media assets, campaign media, copy and press releases etc).
   
• Experience of using video/audio communication tools including production and editing.
   
• Understanding of the issues affecting vulnerable young people and a strong commitment to GMYN’s vision, mission and values.

Whilst our staff team is diverse in many ways, we recognise that we are not currently representative of the diverse communities that we serve. We are currently working with specialist charities to adapt our practices to make sure that anyone, no matter their background, can work with us to their fullest potential. We therefore welcome applications from people from BAME backgrounds and people who identify as having additional needs or disabilities.

Do you want to use your skills to make a real difference in the world? Through quality fundraising, Chell Perkins Ltd exists to make a real and lasting impact on the third sector. We want to identify, partner with and nurture the next generation of potential fundraisers to see all charities have access to bespoke, exceptional and affordable fundraising support.

At Chell Perkins, we have been blessed by the charities we have worked with. They have offered us training, sharpened our fundraising skills, challenged us, and invested in our ability to fundraise well: releasing us to help more individuals with deeper support. 

Chell Perkins wishes to pay this kindness forwards through our Junior Fundraiser Training Programme. 

Break into fundraising and make a difference:

If you want to use your skills to help charities, this five-year training programme will teach you everything you need to know about fundraising, while giving you considerable on-the-job training and support. 

How it works:

Year One – Fundraising Officer: You’ll be inducted into an immersive training programme, featuring online/classroom training, self-study and key texts. There is plenty of practical experience with trusts and foundations, event, corporate, individual donor and major donor fundraising. This is all aimed to equip you for your Certificate in Fundraising in Year Two.

Year Two – Fundraising Consultant: This year you will have the opportunity to complete the Institute of Fundraising’s Certificate in Fundraising, fully funded by Chell Perkins. This is the industry-recognised qualification for frontline fundraisers. It provides the theory and principles behind successful fundraising and practical skills to make an immediate impact on fundraising results. With your increased experience and knowledge, you will find yourself taking the lead more with our clients’ trust and foundation, direct mail, capital and event fundraising. 

Year Three/Four – Senior Consultant: By Year Three, you will have experienced fundraising across a diverse range of income streams. This learned experience will now see you assisting Chell Perkins with strategy formation and consultation work throughout the third sector. We will offer some candidates the chance at this stage to enter into a Level 7 qualification either with the Institute of Fundraising or the University of Kent.

Year Five – Principal Consultant/Team Leader: As you continue to sharpen your fundraising toolkit, you will have the choice of working towards becoming a Principal Consultant or a Team Leader. 

• Team Leader – This role will see you managing your own team of fundraisers within the speciality or sector that suits you best. You will be responsible for ensuring all output from your team is of exceptional quality, and producing the best outcomes for the charities we work for. You will help to mentor and train the newer members of staff on your team.
• Principal Consultant – You will now use your skills to lead and partner with your own charity clients. Working with charities over the last four years, you will have built relationships and grown your capacity to support organisations in a variety of ways. Chell Perkins will support you as you transform charities through professional, passionate and pro-active fundraising.

Both roles will be instrumental to ensure that Chell Perkins continues to support charities and make their Vision a Reality.

Why Chell Perkins?

At the end of our Junior Fundraiser Training Programme you will be a fundraising expert, trained in every aspect of the job and capable of fundraising for clients of all shapes and sizes. But there’s much more to the scheme than the nuts and bolts. Although we are biased (of course), the Chell Perkins team are a great bunch of people to work with. We really care about our clients and your future. We want you to become part of the family, and enjoy our supportive and empowering work culture, aimed at enabling you to realise your own potential.
