- Owning the volunteer experience from first contact onwards and training colleagues to deliver best practice support, ensuring volunteers feel well-prepared, informed about their impact, and inspired to stay involved
As this is a brand-new role, there’s plenty of scope to shape and innovate. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone with excellent communication skills and a passion for volunteering.
Our team works remotely across England and Wales, with regular in-person meet-ups. We set high standards, support one another, and share a deep commitment to driving positive change. If this sounds like the kind of environment you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.

Dear Applicant,
The opportunity
Are you a communications professional who can story tell, reach new audiences and help us with our vision where everyone with a neurological condition lives better, longer? If you are looking to make a difference, use your digital and storytelling skills in an exciting role, and work with a small dedicated and talented team – this might be the next role for you.
We are looking for a talented and experienced communications professional to help us build on our communications effort. The main aim of our communications work is to support our fundraising drive. The focus of the role is twofold: boosting supporter loyalty by helping supporters to feel like they are enabling cutting edge neurological research; building understanding and engagement with the wider public to drive consideration to support us.
We enjoy a solid base of support with c26,000 engaged individuals across a range of audience segments including cash donors (c4,000), regular givers (c4,000), events and community (c3,000), patients and our wider non-donor community (c16,000). Our primary mass communications channels are our website, Facebook, Instagram and via email.
We are looking to put renewed energy behind our communications work and seeking to maximise our digital engagement. This includes both promoting fundraising opportunities and using social channels as a means of interacting with, and taking queries from, supporters and the wider public.
Our work in fundraising is designed to maximise funds needed for research to help the one in six of us that has a neurological condition.
Why join us?
We are looking for someone who is ready for a challenge that can really make a difference.
We are a small organisation, but we make a big impact. This is a role that we know can help the charity accelerate its efforts to reach its goals. Use your storytelling skills to connect the science we research with the people directly affected by neurological conditions, so current and new supporters understand the impact the charity makes. If you are eager to make a real impact by expanding our reach and fundraising, then this role is perfect for someone wanting the next exciting step in their career.
We are heading in the final year of our current strategic period (2023-2026). We have a fresh strategy for 2027-2030 that builds on the existing learning and success we have had over the last three years. This has been developed with growth in mind. We are scaling up some of our fundraising activities following successful tests. We have a lean and dedicated team that are very focussed on maximising income and ensuring a rewarding experience for all supporters. This role is a key part of that approach.
We are aiming to optimise all our digital communications to make a meaningful connection with all our current audiences and the wider public. This means creating regular, interesting content that stands out in a crowded market and motivates people to want to support us. The primary aim of our communications work is to inspire people to either give donations or raise money on our behalf.
We are looking for someone to build up and maintain our library of inspiring stories – including written format, film and images - to showcase impact, share people’s experiences and inspire others to tell their own story and/or support our work.
The role requires an individual who is proactive, happy to get “hands on” and is keen to use their communications skills to support our fundraising effort.
If successful in securing this role, you will find yourself in a small but dynamic environment with a flat structure where decisions are taken quickly. We have a positive organisational culture with a close-knit team that work harmoniously together. The role reports to the Head of Fundraising (currently being covered by a trusted interim with lots of fundraising and comms experience).
I use my role as CEO to champion fundraising and communications and ensure that we maintain our current focus on building our strengths and ensuring that supporters feel valued and recognised.
This is an exciting role, and a fantastic opportunity for someone to accelerate their career and support our growth. I look forward to hearing from you.
To apply, please submit your CV and a cover letter of no more than one page stating why you would like to work for Brain Research UK and why you believe you are well suited to the role.
