Employment type: Two Year Fixed Term, 21 hours per week

Location: Haringey

Closing date: Wednesday, 22/04/2021, 12 noon

Interviews:  Thursday, 29/04/2021

Do you have excellent communications, community engagement and research experience? Do you have experience of creating content for and maintaining a website, social media channels and engagement skills to reach diverse audiences?

The Bridge Renewal Trust and consortium partners have secured a £750,000 contract to deliver targeted interventions to tackle violence in the Tottenham Hale ward area as part of the GLA Violent Reduction Unit’s flagship My Ends programme.

We are currently recruiting a creative and versatile Communications and Engagement Officer to help develop and deliver a high-impact communications strategy, raising awareness of the service and supporting our community engagement activities.

We are looking for someone who is: creative and innovative; skilled in content development and copywriting for a range of audiences and is able to organise a variety of community engagement events; has good knowledge and experience of engaging diverse communities through different communications channels including face to face and social media.

The successful candidate will have strong interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills; and will be proficient in the use of a range of software including MS Office, MS Teams, Zoom, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, Mailchimp and Eventbrite.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a progressive organisation where we value and reward the performance of our staff.

To apply, please email your CV with contact details of two referees, a supporting statement demonstrating how you meet the requirements set out in the Person Specification and completed equal opportunities monitoring form.

For a full job description, please visit the Bridge Renewal Trust website.

For the right person, with the right mindset, working as Noah’s Ark’s Supporter Engagement Officer really should be a formative step in your career. If you’re ambitious about your career, and looking for a charity which can support you in pushing forward in a busy and responsible role, please read on and apply.

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice has been on a major upward trajectory in recent years – more children supported, more major hospitals partnered with, and more supporters donating. We’ve transformed from being an enthusiastic start-up, to a serious player delivering major impact. So what next?

Typically around 75% of our income is derived from a relatively small number of supporters who are managed by our Philanthropy Team. We need to diversify our income streams and de-risk the charity’s financial sustainability in the process. As well as acquiring new one-off donors and fundraisers, we aim to build a sector-leading regular giving club with tens of thousands of supporters donating monthly. The financial security provided by this low-risk regular income will enable the charity to expand at scale and ultimately enable an improved quality of life, and death, for many more of the over 2,400 seriously unwell babies and children who could be benefitting from Noah’s Ark’s support.

So, how will the successful applicant to this role play their part?

Firstly, we need to look after our supporters in a highly engaging and reliable way, strengthening their trust of the charity and fostering their loyalty. Relationship fundraising is our team’s bedrock – this will be the perfect environment to hone your supporter care skills. Secondly, we need to harness the power of data. Efficiently managing data will be key to Noah’s Ark’s growth and sustainability – indeed it is an increasingly vital part of any successful fundraising team’s strategy. We have recently appointed two sector-leaders in the supporter engagement/digital space, with excellent experience at some of the UK’s biggest charities. So, again you will be supported and developed by sector leaders.

We are looking for an intelligent, expansive thinker with a high level of determination and rigour. You will relish a busy workload and be able to keep a cool head under pressure. You will be highly articulate, have a positive manner and be very organised. You will welcome professional challenge. Bringing new ideas to life requires gumption and self-belief – you will have both in spades.

Previous experience of supporter engagement or customer services is desirable, as is experience of working with a CRM database. For the right person, we will still consider your application if you haven’t worked with a CRM database before but can otherwise demonstrate your computer literacy, willingness to learn at pace and take on responsibility from the off.

As explained in the job pack (see below), we’re looking to change the way we do things with supporter engagement quite radically. So, if helping a vital cause deliver transformational outcomes for London’s most unwell babies and children, whilst helping to create systemic change to the charity’s fundraising, and learning and developing your own skills at pace sounds like a good next step for you, please do send us your CV and covering letter. 

Closing date is: Monday 10th May but we expect to interview on a rolling basis so early applications are encouraged. 

Supporter Data Assistant

The vision of The Charity for Civil Servants is a lifelong community; with people offering effective support for each other when life takes a turn for the worse. We listen without judgement and offer practical, financial and emotional support.

The Charity is currently undertaking a number of key transformation projects and we are looking to recruit two Supporter Data Assistants to contribute to the Charity’s long-term success by enabling us to put quality data at the heart of everything we do.

Working as an integral member of our Strategic Marketing & Income Generation Data Team, you will be undertaking and responding to data hygiene exercises and supporting the processing and cleaning of supporter data. You will ensure that the dataset covering all aspects of the Charity’s fundraising, marketing, engagement and volunteering activities is reliable and consistent. You will also assist in maintaining accurate records and reporting on internal and external data and service use.

To be successful in this role, you will have a passion for data, a keen eye for accuracy, and be interested in data-driven decision-making.

If this sounds like you, please apply by 5pm on Friday, 7th May 2021.

Due to the current situation with Covid-19, all interviews will be conducted remotely.

The Charity for Civil Servants is committed to building and developing a workforce which reflects the diversity of the civil service community that we support.

Changing the world takes passion and dedication

Isn’t it time that your passion and dedication be channelled towards a career and community that genuinely change lives?

If you...

• want to transform your own life by transforming the lives of others

• crave a career that creates opportunity for others

• desire to make dreams come true for those who never thought it possible

• know that education is the foundation from which we can change the world

• believe that today’s young people can transform tomorrow

• strive for world peace and global sustainability

• dare to dream

...then a career with UWC could be the change you need. 

UWC is a global family of schools with a powerful difference. With a shared goal of working towards global peace and sustainability, we bring together young people from around the world to study in one of our eighteen schools on four continents. There they don’t just learn how to be great at passing exams. They learn how to communicate across cultural boundaries. They develop the skills to be a changemaker. They design and engage in initiatives that transform their lives and the lives of those around them for the better. And they stay a “UWC-er” for life, becoming part of a global community of almost 60,000 changemakers transforming the lives of others. 

One of the things that makes us the most proud is our network of over 4,000 dedicated volunteers, who make up the UWC national committees in charge of finding and selecting students in more than 150 countries worldwide. Our national committee volunteers - UWC alumni, parents of UWC students or alumni, education professionals and community leaders who believe in UWC’s mission - make it possible to seek out the most promising and diverse students in each country, with over 80% of students selected by UWC national committees receiving a scholarship.

Do you want to help us support our UWC national committees and make sure many more young people get this life-changing opportunity? 

Working with us will inspire and challenge you

Driving a mission to make the UWC experience available to tomorrow’s changemakers, irrespective of their background, beliefs and economic means demands colleagues with passion and dedication, and a talent for transformation. Our students go on to become leaders in politics, NGOs, social enterprises, community movements, charities, and business. For life, they remain dedicated to the UWC mission and many of them remain in close contact with us, their school, and their peers.

This is what fuels us at the UWC International Office. We are based in London and Berlin, and we are the executive arm of UWC International, a registered charity in the United Kingdom and Germany.
