UCCF is at a significant and exciting moment. Eighteen months into Matt's leadership as CEO, we are clearer than ever about our mission: Making disciples of Jesus Christ in the student world. We are also clearer about the strategic priorities that will enable that mission to bear fruit in the years ahead: Forming CU leaders, Resourcing CU students, and growing the gospel partnerships that make this ministry possible.

Advertised as Head of Fundraising, this is much more than a fundraising post. Internally, it is the senior leadership role for UCCF’s Partnerships Team and is referred to as the Head of Partnerships. That language is deliberate. We do not want to think of fundraising as a merely transactional activity, but as a relational, prayerful and theological expression of gospel partnership.

Each year hundreds of churches and trusts and thousands of individuals join with us in the work God is doing among students: praying, giving, advocating, encouraging and sharing in the joy of gospel fruitfulness.

The person appointed will help lead UCCF into this next chapter and will shape how we tell the story of student mission; how we invite others to partner with us; how we steward relationships well, building sustainable prayerful and financial support for long-term ministry.

You will lead and build a committed team, work closely with senior leaders and bring strategic clarity, relational warmth, theological conviction and ambitious confidence to one of UCCF’s most important areas of work.

If you are a senior fundraiser, marketing or partnerships leader who loves the gospel, understands evangelical culture, and wants to help a national movement grow deeper, stronger and more fruitful partnerships as together we reach the >2.5 million students in Britain, then we’d love to hear from you. This is an opportunity to build, to lead, to innovate and to serve, so together we might play our part in making disciples of Jesus Christ in Britain.

Change lives in a life-changing career

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.

This is an important moment for Tommy’s. We are embarking on a period of transformation to allow us to grow our reach, awareness and impact. We are investing in our data, systems and technology so that they are fit for the future and allow us to save more babies’ lives.

The Deputy Director of Data and Technology will lead this transformation  – working closely with the COO to shape and deliver the strategy, governance and change needed for Tommy’s to thrive.

The role

About you

We are looking for a collaborative and credible leader with experience in data, technology and transformation.

• Managing systems, budgets and priorities.
• Developing outsourced MSP relationships to deliver value and service.
• Translating technical issues into clear, practical decisions.

Why Tommy’s?

This is a strategic role with real scope to shape the future. You will join a mission-led organisation with ambitious plans, a strong platform for growth, and a commitment to using data-based evidence to drive greater impact.

Tommy’s also has a distinctive operating model, including research, partnerships and ownership of the London Landmarks Half Marathon, giving the role exposure to both charity impact and commercial activity.

We offer hybrid working, flexible working options, 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, enhanced parental leave, wellbeing support, pension, life insurance (*4) and personal development.

We discourage a long-hours culture and value quality, focus and impact.

Inclusion

Tommy’s is committed to building an inclusive organisation that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences, including those underrepresented in senior data and technology leadership.

You do not need to meet every desirable criterion to apply. If you are excited by the role and aligned with our mission, please send your application to Ivy Rock Partners for a confidential discussion.

Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact.

The Opportunity

Join United for Global Mental Health as our Multimedia Producer and help drive the global mental health agenda forward.

You will lead the creation of bold, professional-grade multimedia assets that amplify our advocacy and help to secure funding. If you are a creative storyteller driven to make mental health advocacy unforgettable, we want to hear from you.

About Us

United for Global Mental Health is dedicated to creating a world that enables good mental health for all. We draw on our expertise in policy, advocacy, and financing to work with organisations who share our commitment to driving mental health up the political agenda - and securing additional funding for mental health at national and global level. We founded and act as the secretariat for the Global Mental Health Action Network, an open coalition of mental health professionals of over 10,000 individuals and organisations across 170 countries. 

About You

This is a high-impact role designed to serve as UnitedGMH’s and GMHAN’s in-house creative engine. Following the development of our new Communications Strategy, this position will focus on producing bold multimedia content. You will be responsible for elevating the visual identity of the organisation, ensuring that our evidence-led advocacy is translated into world-class video, data visualisation, and graphic design that captures the attention of global decision-makers, advocates and donors.

Key Responsibilities

1. High-End Video & Audio Production

Signature Podcast: Lead the end-to-end production of the new UnitedGMH ‘podcast clips’ always-on product, including recording, editing, and the creation of high-quality "social-first" video clips.

Staff Commentary and Thematic Films: Coach and directly film UnitedGMH experts and partners to produce professional, timely commentary and thematic films that cement our reputation as sector leaders. 

Field Storytelling: Capture and edit evergreen Global Mental Health Action Network (GMHAN) member stories and policy case studies during global advocacy moments (e.g., World Health Assembly, UN General Assembly) to build a powerful library of movement-building content.

2. Graphic Design & Data Visualisation

Evidence Translation: Work closely with policy leads to turn complex data into bold visualisations that make mental health statistics instantly understandable and moving. 

Brand Guardianship: Act as the lead designer for UnitedGMH assets, including reports, to ensure digital assets consistently meet a "memorable thought leader" standard. This role requires a high-quality design track record utilising professional design software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite); we are seeking an original creator, not a ‘Canva designer’.

Donor Communications: Create bespoke, high-quality creative assets for major donor and partnership moments (e.g., Wellcome, Pinterest, lululemon).

3. Digital Growth & Website Optics

Always-On Paid Ads: Design, test, and deliver creative assets for "always-on" paid advertising campaigns across platforms such as Meta and LinkedIn to drive GMHAN network growth, advocacy awareness, and donor prospecting.

Website Upheaval: Lead on the visual "optics" and user experience (UX) of the UnitedGMH website, ensuring it functions as a high-performing advocacy hub.

Channel Innovation: Support the Comms Officer and Comms Advisor in creating visually engaging content for the workstreams they deliver.

Competencies & Skills

• Multimedia Expertise: Advanced proficiency in video editing (e.g., Premiere Pro, CapCut), audio production, and the Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign).
• Creative Translation: The ability to take "dry" policy evidence and transform it into a compelling visual narrative that triggers action.
• Strategic Targeting: Understanding how to tailor creative content for specific high-level audiences, including government ministers and global health journalists.
