More about Material Focus
Having launched in April 2020, with a brand new website, we are now at a stage where we need a digital manager to come and manage and develop this further. Our website digital tools are effectively our ‘product’ and are critical to the success of our campaign. They make it easier for people to know what, how and where to reuse and recycle their old electricals. The digital project manager will lead the development and management of the website, functionality, SEO, SEM, as part of a small, newly formed, and growing committed team.

And you’ll be able to establish a good work life balance with somewhat flexible hours and the ability to work from home.
Background
Managing electrical waste is one of the biggest challenges of our time - it is the fastest growing waste stream in the world - and in the UK. As technology evolves at such a fast pace, older electrical and electronic items are often made redundant. Most of us don’t know what to do with our old electricals and end up either binning or hoarding them. The reality is that everything with a plug, a cable or a battery can be recycled and turned into anything from children’s playgrounds to life saving equipment. Reusing and recycling unwanted electricals helps save lives, save the environment and stops those precious resources from being lost forever.
The Organisation
We are a busy start-up, having been set up to get the nation reusing and recycling their unwanted electricals - and save precious resources from being lost forever.
We are a core team of 6, working with a network of trusted freelancers and agencies to get the job done.
The campaign
We have launched the Recycle Your Electricals campaign to motivate and make it easy for people to reuse and repair their unwanted electricals. This is a low interest issue that doesn’t even occur to most people - we throw away small electricals without even thinking about it, or perhaps we consider it but we’re too busy, and what would we do with it anyway? We need to stop people in their tracks, and give them a reason to think about it, talk about it, and do the right thing. Our website has been designed as an inspiring knowledge hub with all the tools, links and resources people need to donate, repair and recycle their unwanted electricals.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

About DMI
Development Media International (DMI) creates evidence-based behaviour change campaigns to improve health and save lives. We deliver at scale to maximise impact and cost-effectiveness. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours. In 2018 DMI published the results of its 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial (RCT) in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Modelling indicates that over 3000 lives were saved during the campaign and that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives. We have subsequently undertaken a second RCT which showed that the modern contraceptive prevalence rate was 20% higher in areas exposed to DMI’s messaging compared to areas that were not.
DMI has two priorities: first, to continue to generate ground-breaking research, second, to take our proven strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible and improving health. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition, hygiene, and early childhood development. DMI works in close partnership with leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund, Unorthodox Philanthropy and the Mulago Foundation.
We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus between science and creativity. DMI has demonstrated that knowledge is not only a human right but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective way. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn from both our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. Our ethos is non-hierarchical: all our staff are intellectually high-powered, and we have a “best idea wins” culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on improving lives in low-income countries.
DMI has a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Tanzania and has recently expanded to Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia. Our headquarters overlooks the Regents Canal in Hoxton, London and provides the strategic direction for the whole organisation.
DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by GiveWell and was the first organisation to receive the maximum rating from Impact Matters. It is also endorsed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an inspirational leader to join the team, with a variety of experiences, specifically in the cultural, voluntary and / or community sector; someone who is passionate about working with communities everywhere and who has experience of being a bold advocate / campaigner for diversity, inclusion and cultural democracy.
We are thinking widely about this role, and are keen to hear from people from all backgrounds with a variety of ideas and interests. We will always want different perspectives, experience and knowledge contributing to Fun Palaces’ future. If you get the job and need additional adjustments or assistance to enable you to do it, we will work with you to put them in place.
Practically, the role is part time, with the opportunity for flexible working. We are also flexible about where you live - Covid has made it clear that we don’t need to be constrained by location. However, the job will eventually involve travel and there is an expectation that the small HQ team, of which this role is a part, will work together, at the Albany, Deptford, at least once a fortnight.
If you believe in our aim and objectives:
To equally value everyone’s creativity and every community, through working together, handing over control and challenging the status quo.
- To shine a light on and value everyone’s existing creative skills and activities.
- To reclaim local and regional public spaces for all.
- To connect people (and organisations) to collaborate for change in their communities.
- To make the most of local, regional and national strengths and assets, including individuals’ abilities.
- To shift the perception of culture to one that embraces and values everyone’s cultural participation and production, and for resources to be apportioned accordingly.
And have ideas and experience of working for long term change - you might be exactly who we need.
What skills and experiences are required?
The work of Fun Palaces HQ is multifarious and involves encouraging the creation of Fun Palaces in communities nationwide; supporting skill sharing and capacity building in the arts, sciences and heritage sectors; building a profile for the campaign both with the public and with decision makers; measuring the difference we are making; fundraising and strategic planning for the future.
The co-director role is responsible for all of this and more, and therefore demands a wide range of skills and experience. Job descriptions at Fun Palaces are very flexible and have so far been dictated by the skills and interests of the team. This is a leadership role and we would expect those interested to be able to provide most (not necessarily all) of the following:
- clear and strategic leadership for the next evolution of Fun Palaces;
- knowledge and experience of the voluntary and / or community sector;
- advocacy for the values of the campaign and cultural democracy to a diversity of stakeholders including high profile presentations and networking;
- experience in marketing and communications;
- equal, fair and flexible team management;
- experience in strategic financial management and fundraising.
As well as also being happy to do numerous administrative and practical tasks such as shifting boxes, encouraging Makers, updating the website and making tea. We are a very small team!
Fun Palaces supports local people to co-create their own cultural and community events, across the UK and worldwide, sharing and celebrating th... Read more

About The Access Project
The Access Project is an innovative education charity that helps bright young people from disadvantaged backgrounds beat the odds and gain places at top universities.
