About the role

As the Senior Trusts & Statutory Officer within the Major Giving team you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of relationships with new and existing SSAFA funders.

This will involve researching new opportunities for the organisation, overseeing approaches for support, and managing reporting requirements. This is an existing role, and you will be joining at an exciting time of expansion of and investment in SSAFA's fundraising activities, in light of the recent launch of our 2022-2027 organisational strategic plan.

About the team

The Major Giving Team is a welcoming and diverse group of individuals who are keen to learn from others, as well as share their insight and experience. Your work will cross-pollinate with other colleagues in the team who work across trusts and foundations, major donors and statutory funders. You will also collaborate regularly with staff in our service delivery teams.

You will be provided with ongoing support, training and mentoring through regular meetings with your line manager, as well as the wider team. We encourage a hybrid approach to work in our team, attending Central Office when required, while also working from home in a collaborative way on other days.

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.

Overview

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Brand and Marketing team, which sits at the heart of Citizens Advice. You’ll be joining a high performing team responsible for engaging key audiences including partners, funders and the general public with our work, using a range of channels including digital, events and print. 

The Senior Campaign and Marketing Specialist role will lead on the coordination and delivery of our national consumer awareness campaigns. The role’s focus will be on project managing the campaigns from initiation to delivery and reporting, working with various internal teams and external partners and funders. 

Reporting to the Digital Marketing Manager, the role will have a broad range of marketing responsibilities, including developing campaign briefs, writing copy, recommending and planning media and evaluating campaign performance. You’ll work alongside and be supported by the rest of the Brand and Marketing team, including the digital marketing team and the Senior Brand and Marketing Specialist. You’ll manage relationships with our partners and funders and ensure we’re delivering against our campaign objectives.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for an exceptional and highly organised campaign marketer with proven experience of developing and delivering timely and effective national marketing campaigns that drive awareness and behaviour change. 

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice. 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 as set out in role profiles.

Our commitment to flexible working extends to where we work. As Covid restrictions ease, Citizens Advice are moving towards a permanent mix of office and home based working which will give much more choice to staff, while still maintaining the best of collaborative working.

The National Citizens Advice Operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales. 

Please be aware that Citizens Advice is not a sponsoring organisation. Therefore the successful applicant must already possess the right to work in the UK or be able to secure the right to work in the UK independently.

Citizens Advice seeks to redeploy staff who are at risk or under notice of redundancy where they satisfactorily demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the role at interview.  Candidates who are formally at risk or under notice of redundancy will take priority over other internal candidates for interview.  If you have been confirmed as at risk or under notice of redundancy please ensure you indicate this in the at-risk box in your application.

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

This vacancy closes at 23.59 on the closing date. 

We are seeking a dynamic and collaborative marketing Senior Campaign Manager to lead our flagship perception change campaign This is Engineering, and in doing so to help us tackle the longstanding skills and diversity shortfall in engineering by attracting more young people, from all backgrounds, into the profession.

This is Engineering is a long-term marketing campaign, launched in 2018, that has already had a measurable impact on young people; at its most successful it has increased teens’ likelihood to consider a career in engineering by 85%. A finalist in Third Sector’s Communications Campaign of the Year, This is Engineering is recognised as a genuinely pioneering campaign in the profession and has drawn widespread support from organisations including Rolls-Royce, Amazon, and Google.

The role

As Senior Campaign Manager, you will use your digital marketing expertise to lead This is Engineering into its next phase, helping us to keep the campaign creative fresh, maintain its relevance to teenagers, and grow its reach through increasingly effective channel choice and targeting. You will also help shape the development of a community of This is Engineering champions – young engineers who co-create content with us to share on their own channels as well as ours to reach new audiences. You will work with colleagues and partners to make sure that This is Engineering is changing perceptions well beyond digital channels too: in schools, through STEM ambassadors, at events, and through other marketing and partner channels. 

Working alongside the Academy’s media and digital communications teams, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering National Engineering Day, a national awareness day spun out of This is Engineering to celebrate the impact that engineers have on our lives and broaden public perceptions of engineering. Now in its fourth year, National Engineering Day, formerly known as This is Engineering Day, has consistently mobilised engineers, engineering organisations and influencers across social media to spread the word about engineering, and gained widespread media coverage across broadcast, print and online titles.

Who are we looking for?

You will be an experienced marketing campaign manager with specific expertise in digital marketing and - ideally - experience in running campaigns that have successfully engaged teenagers. You will balance creativity and energy with strong project management skills and a talent for engaging with senior stakeholders. You will be passionate about helping young people shape their futures, and about the opportunities, engineering can offer them.

While marketing is your core expertise area, you will be comfortable working across and alongside a range of communications disciplines and drawing on expertise from these disciplines to develop integrated campaigns. And you'll be a natural collaborator - keen not only to collaborate with colleagues, but also to build networks beyond the Academy in order to increase the reach of the campaign through partnership, keep up to date with best practice and the needs of our community and audiences.

Who are we?

The Royal Academy of Engineering is a charity that brings together exceptional engineers, technologists and innovators to harness the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone. We collaborate with our Fellows and partners to meet this ambition in three ways: by growing talent and developing skills for the future, driving innovation and building global partnerships, influencing policy and engaging the public. Together we’re working to tackle the greatest challenges of our age.

With a diverse workforce and an inclusive and supportive culture, we look to attract candidates from wide and different backgrounds who have a passion for the role engineering plays in society. Our aim is to make the Academy the best place to work for the staff we have and those we seek to attract.

Why work for the Royal Academy of Engineering?

We’re looking for people who are driven to make the world a better place. If you’re passionate about what you do and want to work collaboratively with talented colleagues to make change happen, now and for future generations, we want you to get in touch.

This is the perfect time to join us. We have a dynamic, visionary CEO, a strong leadership team and an ambitious and exciting strategy. The value we bring as experts in our field and change agents is highly recognised and makes the Academy a motivating place to be. Our work today builds on a long, proud history with a focused and ambitious future which we’d love you to be part of.

We are looking for talented people who want to make a difference to join our team – is this you?

Company Benefits

The Academy offers a fantastic package of additional benefits including:

• BUPA cash plan
• Private medical insurance
• Regular social activities
• Independent Financial Advice
• Generous holiday allowance
• Non-contributory pension scheme
• Health and wellbeing programmes
• Wellbeing days and office wide Christmas leave
• Significant investment into your personal and professional development

Our light, spacious offices are based in a fantastic location in central London with views over St James’s Park and close to the West End. We operate hybrid, flexible working practices with a baseline 2 days a week in the office.

We offer benefits including additional sick days for parents and caregivers, flexible working hours, and professional development stipends. We review our policies and practices for equity frequently.

Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it. 

The philanthropy programme at Crisis has flourished in recent years, and we have ambitious plans to grow our income target to £5m per year by 2025. Over the last year, we have seen a rise in six-figure gifts, and have made the decision to recruit a second Senior Philanthropy Lead to the team to help build on this success and grow the upper end of our portfolio and continue to recruit new supporters to Crisis.

We are working to end homelessness in three ways: at the individual level through our life changing services; at a community level with our partners around Great Britain; and at a national policy level with the governments in Wales, Scotland and Westminster. Together Crisis offers a rich array of opportunities for our amazing philanthropists to make a lasting change to the systems and structures that perpetuate homelessness in 21st Century Britain.   

Lately, we have also begun to explore how entrepreneurship can end homeless through our Venture Studio, which has proved successful at attracting new high value supporters to Crisis.
