Support fundraising – providing compelling impact evidence to strengthen bids and future funding opportunities.
You’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with the Partnership Lead and the wider Maritime Academy Trust central team, as well as spending time in our 13 schools to see our programmes in action.

About Speakers Trust
Speakers Trust is the UK’s leading public speaking and youth voice charity. Every year, we empower over 40,000 young people to find their voice, share their stories, and build the confidence to be heard. We are creative, ambitious, and exist to make a real impact, with digital storytelling as a key tool for change.
What Makes This Role Special
Your work will go far beyond likes and clicks. You’ll see your digital content directly inspire young people, connect with educators, and raise Speakers Trust’s profile nationwide. But most powerfully, you’ll be responsible for sharing the real stories, ideas, and perspectives of the beneficiaries of our work, amplifying voices that deserve to be heard and helping move audiences to action, understanding, and even joy. If you’re moved by the idea that your creativity can shine a light on transformative journeys, and that every story you share could spark inspiration or conversation, this is the role for you.
You’ll join a collaborative team committed to making a visible difference and you’ll see your work resonate across schools, communities, and throughout the wider youth voice movement.
The Role
We are looking for a proactive, hands-on Digital Content & Communications Manager; a creative all-rounder who thrives on “doing,” not just talking strategy. You’ll have ownership of our digital content: crafting impactful videos, visuals, and copy for our social channels and websites, and creating engaging resources for marketing, learning and programme delivery. You’ll energise our digital platforms while continuously improving their effectiveness and reach.
This role is delivery-first: you’ll “own” the hands-on creation, scheduling, and optimisation of digital content. You’ll have input into what and when we share and will help shape digital plans, but the heart of the job is practical content production and sharing. Press and comms partnerships are supporting responsibilities, not the main focus.
Your Key Responsibilities
1. Digital Content Creation & Delivery (Primary)
- Design, produce, and post engaging multimedia assets (video, graphics, infographics, stories) for social media, and our websites.
- Amplify authentic stories, ideas, and perspectives from our beneficiaries to move and motivate audiences.
2. Social Media & Community Building
- Plan, schedule, post, and manage engagement on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X, as well as newsletters
- Grow and nurture audiences—especially among schools, judges, volunteers, educators, and young people.
- Monitor trends and adapt content for impact.
3. Learning & Programme Resource Design
- Work with colleagues to create compelling, accessible learning resources and marketing materials for schools, corporate partners, funders, and events.
- Design digital newsletters, reports, and campaign materials that support fundraising, stewardship, and participant development.
4. Marketing of Programmes
- Provide marketing support to the programmes team to help promote our programmes to schools and other charities primarily through developing marketing collateral and supporting outbound email campaigns
5. Website Management & Continuous Improvement
- Manage day-to-day website updates, keeping our sites fresh, welcoming, and easy to navigate.
- Seek out and implement small improvements that enhance user experience, accessibility, and recruitment effectiveness.
6. Press, Media & Profile
- Develop and deliver a practical approach to meeting regional press grant requirements (e.g. one piece per final); contribute occasional press releases if needed.
7. Support the Team’s broader objectives
- Help colleagues use digital tools, solve basic problems, and build digital skills through sharing, to improve our digital content
- Champion creative, inclusive, and accessible digital comms internally.
- Representing Speakers Trust at external events and networking opportunities
- Support the CEO in building their advocacy around the issues important to Speakers Trust – Oracy Education and Youth Voice
- Bring a collaborative, positive approach to tackling everyday challenges faced by small charities
- What Success Looks Like
- Our digital channels are vibrant and ever-evolving—showcasing new stories and resources that inspire, inform, and connect.
- Social media and websites consistently attract and engage stakeholders, schools, beneficiaries, volunteers and funders.
- Digital assets, learning resources, and stakeholder comms are professional, accessible, and “on brand.”
- Our programmes have even more adoption and engagement.
There is potential to broaden the role and extend the contract based on funding and impact.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong track record in creating digital content, managing social media, and designing educational/promotional materials (charity, youth, or education sector experience a plus).
- Experience with website content management and the ability to identify and deliver incremental improvements.
- Skilled in video and design (Canva, CapCut, Adobe, or similar) and software to support website and newsletter design.
- Clear, compelling written English for content, newsletters, and reports.
- Ability to grow and nurture digital communities—especially for school, volunteer, and judge recruitment.
- Organised, adaptable, and comfortable working independently and in a team.
- Supportive, sharing, and positive in approach.
- Passion for youth empowerment, diversity, and practical creativity.
What We Offer
- Salary: £30,000–£35,000 per annum (pro-rata, 0.6 FTE, depending on experience)
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata)
- Pension scheme with auto-enrolment
- Central London office (1–2 days/week), plus flexible hybrid working
- Opportunities to increase hours/responsibility if funding and delivery needs grow
- Supportive, inclusive, and creative team environment

Shape the future of charity tax as Charity Tax Group’s first CEO, leading, influencing and representing charities on tax at the highest level.
Location: Remote with regular travel
About Charity Tax Group
CTG is a small, volunteer-led charity that, for over 40 years, has had a huge impact on the charity tax landscape, saving charities an estimated £10bn during that time, including VAT reliefs, the introduction of Gift Aid and significant policy influence. The cornerstone of that success has been a reputation for technical competence and professionalism, making us ‘the voice of charities on tax’ —engaging with government, HMRC and the wider voluntary sector.
We combine technical expertise with advocacy and education to help charities navigate complex tax challenges.
Last year, we were successful in registering as a charity, which opens up new opportunities such as funding and product savings. We also relaunched our annual tax conference, which was the first we had held since COVID.
About the role
We have recently become an independent charity and are recruiting our first Chief Executive to provide leadership, raise our profile and secure long-term sustainability. There is no handbook for what this role should be, and this will be an exciting opportunity to drive strategy, build influence with government and ensure CTG remains the trusted voice of charity tax.
As CEO, you will:
- Act as a credible spokesperson for CTG with government, HMRC, charities and the media
- Work with our Technical Advisor to sustain CTG’s authority and expertise
- Lead on fundraising and income diversification to ensure financial sustainability
- Help establish a vision and operational plan for the future of CTG
Who we are looking for
We are seeking an agile, outward-facing leader who can represent CTG at the highest level.
- Excellent communication, emotional intelligence and influencing skills
- Strong stakeholder and relationship-building ability
- Knowledge of charity tax, or the ability to learn and communicate complex detail quickly
- Fundraising or income generation experience
- Flexibility and motivation to make a difference
We are open to recruiting a leader who might be working towards some of the skills we are seeking, and have an excellent board of Trustees, and a strong technical advisor who can support any new CEO to develop.
We can provide exceptional levels of flexibility to the successful candidate, with most of the role being able to be fulfilled remotely; however, there will be instances where we also require flexibility, such as when we need to provide time-sensitive responses to the media.
If you are interested in this role, we encourage you to get in touch with Bill Yuksel at Peridot Partners for a conversation.

About Speakers Trust
Speakers Trust is the UK's leading public speaking charity, which delivers training and events to ensure all young people develop the skills and confidence to speak and be heard.
Each year, we work with over 40,000 young people, helping them develop the confidence to share their ideas and stories out loud. Our work transforms lives - every day we see and hear stories of young people who have found their voice and discovered the power of speaking up.
We operate through two key areas: (i) we deliver a national schools programme to more than one in five state secondary schools delivering workshops and events and publishing leading educational resources. (ii) we work with third sector organisations to deliver workshops and events with the joint aims of amplifying youth voice and supporting the financial sustainability of the charity- an exciting growth area that this role will help shape and lead.
The Role
This role is focused on managing and growing our work with other third sector organisations. It focuses on two areas: (i) developing our social enterprise which delivers over 150 paid workshops each year and (ii) delivering youth voice initiatives with other charity partners which amplify young voices. We're creating this new position to drive our strategic mission while enabling our Head of Fundraising to focus on individual giving, corporates, and larger trusts and foundations.
It is an opportunity to craft your own role by using your entrepreneurial skills to grow the charity’s enterprise income and giving you the opportunity to grow with it.
All colleagues are expected to also play a role in supporting Speakers Trust’s broader strategic objectives.
Enterprise Development (Primary Focus)
- Grow our established “paid for” workshop delivery (currently 150+ workshops annually) by building relationships with third sector organisations, developing new products, promotions and selling public speaking workshops to those with budget to pay for them.
- Drive successful growth in enterprise contribution to the charity's finances through increased net income
- Manage the full commercial cycle from prospecting and enquiry to delivery and invoicing
- Work with our impressive existing client base while actively developing new partnerships
- Match client needs with our established freelance trainer network
Youth Voice Programmes
- Successfully deliver flagship programmes like "My Maiden Speech" - our high-profile, transformative multi-organisation youth voice programme
- Develop and deliver new youth voice initiatives that amplify marginalised voices
- Engage new partners and showcase our transformative work
- Manage events, logistics, and complex stakeholder relationships across multiple organisations
- Maximise the potential of these programmes to generate new funding sources to expand this part of our work.
Supporting Speakers Trust's Broader Objectives
- As part of our collaborative team of 10, you'll also contribute to our success through:
- Supporting fundraising events and activities to help achieve our income targets
- Contributing to events for our schools programme and other initiatives where needed
- Coordinating smaller projects across the charity as opportunities and needs arise
- Supporting the CEO and team with tasks that help make Speakers Trust a great place to work
- Contributing to solutions for the usual challenges faced by small charities - bringing creativity and problem-solving skills
- Representing Speakers Trust at external events and networking opportunities
- Sharing knowledge and expertise with colleagues to strengthen our collective impact
What Success Looks Like
- Sustainable growth in our enterprise workshop programme and net income contribution
- Successful delivery of multiple youth voice programmes and events throughout the year
- New funding streams secured for youth voice initiatives
- Expanded partner network and stronger stakeholder relationships
- Enhanced profile and awareness of Speakers Trust's work
- Effective contribution to broader team success
