Contract Duration: 12 months

Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

We are a diverse and inclusive organisation and we particularly welcome applications from black, asian and ethnic minority people. We are a flexible employer, so this role would suit working parents or people returning to work after raising children. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from, LGB and Trans and non binary candidates. We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role.

Citizens Advice is hiring Programme Director to oversee a 12 month fixed-term programme of work related to the organisation’s online advice content.

This is a vital role for the organisation, overseeing work that helps millions of people each year. The role will help us focus on meeting user needs through the creation of clear and accurate content, while also remodelling the organisation’s content as we move to a new modular content architecture enabled by our migration to a new content platform, Contentful.

This role will oversee a focused portfolio of work in five areas:

1. Meeting user needs through the creation of clear and accurate content, in particular in relationship to Covid-19 and Brexit
2. Remodelling the organisation’s content to support the migration to a new content platform, with a view to making the content more sustainable
3. An accelerated programme of archiving and maintenance work to rapidly reduce a backlog of legacy content and tackle content at risk of inaccuracy
4. Maturing the metrics used to assess the performance of content, complementing the wider work of the organisation’s data team
5. Considering how Citizens Advice promotes content proactively to make sure we’re reaching the people who most need our help

The role will report to the Executive Director of Advice & Advocacy and will oversee the day to day work of the organisation’s content and expert advice functions - the content designers and legal experts who collaborate to produce online content for the Citizens Advice website and adviser-facing intranet.

Citizens Advice is needed more than ever as demand for advice rises as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, our service faces the challenge of supporting people in a remote context, making it all the more important that we have best-in-class online content. We face a number of fascinating challenges in relation to content, requiring a candidate who can operate at a strategic level:

• We are in the process of migrating from a legacy content platform to a new headless content management system, including a move toward a more modular architecture for our content
• We face a significant challenge - as with many organisations - with legacy content, which makes it hard for us to maintain our content at high levels of reliability and accessibility
• We are considering how best to bring digital capabilities, and our website and content itself, closer together with operational delivery teams as part of the organisation’s wider digital transformation

We need to make progress on these strategic challenges while at the same time meeting the significant daily demands of high volume online service delivery, particularly in the context of high demand as a result of Covid-19 and Brexit.

The ideal candidate for this role will be dedicated to internet-era ways of working: starting with user needs, focusing on delivery and outcomes over process, and working in the open. You will be able to evidence your commitment to diversity and inclusion in the way you recruit and build teams and in your approach to accessible digital services.

Please note, in the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early.

Update 18th November 2020

The changing situation with lockdowns across England and Wales has altered our timeline for recruiting new First Give Facilitators and we will now be shortlisting and interviewing in early 2021. With this new timescale in mind we will keep applications open until the end of December 2020.

We will be in touch with everyone who has already submitted an application. 

First Give is a fully-resourced secondary school programme that supports an entire year group of secondary school students to engage in social action for their communities. We work in partnership with secondary schools to inspire and equip young people to take action to tackle social issues. We work with over 150 secondary schools in England and Wales.

The First Give programme involves three facilitator delivered sessions for each school; these sessions are usually delivered in schools. Adaptations have been made to the usual format of these events to make sure all these events are Covid-19 safe for both First Give facilitators and the schools they are visiting. For the 2020/21 academic year schools have the options of both in-person sessions and remotely delivered sessions. We are looking for highly experienced facilitators who are confident running in school events and workshops and who can also engage students through video content.

As we respond to changing circumstances we do not yet know what the ratio of in-person events to remote events will be this year and we are looking for facilitators who are able to adapt and deliver high quality events through both delivery styles.

Remote event delivery is paid at the same half day and day rates.

All sessions are paid a minimum of the half day rate. For in-person events the time invoiced for each First Give event includes time spent travelling to and from the school from the facilitator’s home.

Location of events and travel

During Covid-19 we are allocating events to facilitators with particular attention to how facilitators can travel safely to the schools they will be delivering events in. We have a Covid-19 travel policy in place until further notice.

Due to the locations of the schools we work with, significant travel may be required to schools for First Give events. Candidates must be able to travel to and from First Give schools. The most appropriate form of transport (public transport or their own car) will depend on the location of the school. A car is not essential in all areas.

All travel expenses are covered. Occasional overnight stays may be required for First Give events and are paid for by First Give.

This includes managing a team of policy specialists. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the energy team, as well as our data, public affairs, campaigns and media teams to maximise impact for energy consumers. 

You’ll also support our wider energy advocacy work as well as supporting junior members of the team to reach their potential. Our strong brand will give you unique opportunities to engage with those who have the power to make change. You’ll influence regulators, MPs, civil servants, industry on behalf of energy consumers and the people who rely on Citizens Advice.
