Temporary Programme Manager Jobs
Harris Hill is working with an international environmental charity, who are looking to cover an interim Communications Officer role for 3dpw, on a remote basis. This covers permanent recruitment.
The role itself will run until Christmas and possibly the new year. We are looking for an immediate start.
The post of the Communications Officer reports directly to the CEO, but works with internal fundraising, programme and marketing teams to promote the work of the charity, report on fundraising and manage communications to various stakeholders and supporters.
This role follows a period of outsourcing their work to an agency, so this brings this work back in house, with a handover happening before they total removal in December, but also covering the permanent recruitment period.
The purpose of the Communications Officer is to raise the profile of the charity, to highlight the work they do, reach current supporters and allow to increase our supporter base. The role will deepen engagement and ensure that the brand identity, messaging and tone of voice build a coherent, compelling and distinctive brand.
In a typical day, you could be writing a press release announcing new funding partnerships, speaking to the programmes team to develop impact stories that showcase their work transforms lives, you could be designing an impact report for one of their programmes, supporting ongoing fundraising campaigns through social media communications or developing a monthly newsletter to supporters.
Experience:
A strong track record of delivering engaging social media content across different channels and audiences to support organisational priorities.
Excellent writing skills, able to adapt for different channels and audiences. Compelling and grammatically correct.
Experience of using creative software such as Illustrator, Premiere, Canva and Photoshop
Basic video editing skills.
SME mentality; comfortable with a broad role in a small organisation and happy to flex from the strategic to tactical, taking a ‘hands-on’ approach.
Self-directed, able to work without undue supervision.
Resilient under pressure with excellent interpersonal skills.

About the role
In partnership with Gateshead Council, Sustrans is opening an Active Travel Hub at Birtley Library. This is an exciting opportunity to join Sustrans and support people in Gateshead to walk, cycle, and wheel, by providing practical, impactful support.
As the Project Delivery Officer, you will coordinate and deliver a programme of work tailored around overcoming identified barriers to active and sustainable travel modes, including a series of practical engagement activities, with the support of 2 Project Support Officers and a network of volunteers.
You will build and manage internal and external relationships with diverse groups and people within our partner organisations. Additionally, you will ensure monitoring and reporting tasks are carried out, with particular respect to partner and funder requirements.
This role will require travel and work at locations as necessary to undertake projects on behalf of Sustrans.

About you
You should have experience delivering behaviour change projects and/or activities, and delivering projects in a community setting with a range of partners. Experience working in public-facing roles and with volunteers is key – this role will be responsible for recruiting, managing, and developing Sustrans volunteers, in collaboration with the Project Coordinator and Sustrans volunteer programme staff. You should have some experience of managing budgets, producing reports, and carrying out monitoring activities. Knowledge of effective engagement and behaviour change initiatives is key, and you should be able to apply this knowledge to develop and deliver effective cycling, walking, and wheeling initiatives.
You should be able to build strong working relationships, enthuse others, and have the ability to communicate and collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders. You should also be able to work independently when necessary, planning and prioritising your own workload with limited supervision.
There are lots of opportunities for learning and development within this role, so we ask that you are willing to learn, with a specific commitment to work towards becoming qualified in the following areas with Sustrans:
- Cycle leader and walk leader
- First aid
- Cycle maintenance
Previous experience with cycle maintenance and cycling is desireable but not required. However there is an expectation that you will work quickly to develop these skills with Sustrans courses and resources once appointed.
