We’re here to end cruelty to children. Nothing else will do.

At the NSPCC, we believe every childhood is worth fighting for. It's an aspiration which will take time but nothing less will do. This is an exciting opportunity to join a new enthusiastic and committed team responsible for growing income from new markets for the NSPCC in London. This is vitally important work to ensure we are in the best position to provide life changing services for children, now and in the future.

The NSPCC is looking to recruit a dynamic and enthusiastic project manager to support the Income Generation Team within the Fundraising & Engagement department. Working closely with the Director of Income Generation, the teams focus is to:

• Identify and respond to market opportunities which will enable us to grow income across the organisation.  
• Provide analysis of key market insights to inform decision making.
• Assist high level cross team working for the division and other directorates.
• Identify and manage cross-directorate income generation projects and develop and test pilot programmes.

This is a fast-paced environment so you should be a self-starter, able to work independently and be comfortable with working under pressure with the ability to “hit the ground running”. This role requires excellent organisational skills, the ability to prioritise and high attention to detail. You will be a natural relationship builder with exceptional communication skills and have a passion for making a difference to children.

Are you somebody who would love to help people in Northern Ireland with the UK’s most common cause of sight loss?

Every day, around 300 people are diagnosed with macular disease. It’s the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK.  Macular disease is cruel and isolating.  It steals your sight, your independence, and your ability to do the things you love.

The Macular Society is working to deliver our ultimate ambition – to Beat Macular Disease for the next generation. We are determined to end the fear and isolation of macular disease with world-class research and the best advice and support.

We run a busy Advice and Information line, Counselling Service, fund research, campaign for improvements and provide volunteer-delivered services. We have over 400 local peer support groups across the UK and more launch each year. An exciting opportunity has arisen within our Services team working with our support groups and volunteers. This position will recruit, train, develop and support local Macular Society groups and volunteers across The Western and Southern Health and Social Care Trust areas. Your important role will be to help us strengthen our network in these Trust areas.

You will have access to a car for regular travel.

Please be aware that this position will require a standard CRB check.

This role will require frequent travel throughout Northern Ireland (and occasionally across the UK).

There will be occasional overnight stays, out of hours and weekend work, however we have a flexible approach to how you manage your time to achieve great results.

We are an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons.

Please apply online with your CV and a covering letter.
