We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Officer to join our friendly and purpose-driven marketing and events team.

You’ll be confident using a range of digital tools and platforms, including social media, content management systems, design software, and analytics tools like GA4.

In return, we offer a supportive, collaborative environment where you can develop your skills, try new things, and contribute to meaningful work that supports the veterinary profession. If you're excited by the idea of creating content that inspires, campaigns that deliver impact, and digital experiences that truly resonate, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for a highly organised, pro-active and confident Digital Communications Officer to join our Campaigns and Communications team.

Endometriosis impacts the physical and mental health of 10% of women and those assigned female at birth, from puberty to menopause - although the impact may be felt for life. Yet it’s a disease most people have never heard of, do not understand and currently has no cure. It costs the UK economy around £8.2 billion every year in healthcare costs, loss of work and treatments and yet it isn’t recognised by most employers. As the UK’s leading charity for all those affected by endometriosis, we’re determined to change this and ensure that everyone gets prompt diagnosis and the best treatment and support.

This is an exciting opportunity to help drive Endometriosis UK’s work forward and play a key role in raising awareness of endometriosis and driving change for those affected by the disease. We look forward to receiving your application.

Location – Based at Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions, 446 Fulham Road, London SW6 1DT, with occasional travel to other Stoll Foundation sites, London-based museums and national archives.

Background
The Stoll Foundation is the leading provider of housing and support services to vulnerable veterans. Founded in 1916 by theatre impresario Sir Oswald Stoll to house severely disabled WWI veterans, The Stoll Foundation has provided a sanctuary to help veterans rebuild their lives for over one hundred years.

As The Stoll Foundation enters a new chapter, an opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Heritage Project Officer to join our team and oversee the day-to-day delivery of a 2.5-year heritage project.

Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to launch an ambitious project exploring the rich history of The Stoll Foundation while engaging our residents through workshops and events and building lasting ties with the local community.

Veterans’ Voices: 100 Years of Housing Heroes
The Heritage Project is a direct response to the sale of our main site, the historic Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions, which will be handed over to our neighbours Chelsea FC in 2027.

Additionally, the Officer will lead on the production of key assets including a website section devoted to our heritage and a physical and digital book of the local community’s memories of Stoll Mansions. The project will culminate in a temporary exhibition which the Heritage Project Officer will design and deliver with the support of volunteers and professionals.

Key Responsibilities

• Recruiting and managing two teams of volunteers: a Local Heritage Heroes committee of local community members and a Veteran Heritage Committee of The Stoll Foundation residents.
• Planning and delivering events and activities including workshops, open days, lecture series, committee meetings and field trips.
• Leading the planning and delivery of a temporary exhibition created in collaboration with project beneficiaries and volunteers.
• Tracking and reporting on a significant budget.
• Managing the creation of assets including a new Heritage section of The Stoll Foundation website and a physical and digital book compiling memories of Stoll Mansions from the local community.
• Managing the production of collaborative historical case studies and oral histories.
• Engaging with the local community to ensure participation in activities and integration with the Stoll veteran community and vice versa.
• Conducting archival and online research to uncover the story of Sir Oswald Stoll, The Stoll Foundation, Stoll Mansions, and our early veteran beneficiaries.
• Managing the cataloguing, digitisation and conservation of archival materials.
• Identifying and acting upon opportunities for further collaboration and partnerships; managing existing partnerships.
• Reporting on and evaluating the project including wellbeing impact on participants.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values.  We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. 

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay. 

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours.  More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
