Charity Events Manager Jobs

About the role

We are looking for a confident, proactive people-focused professional to join our client services team as a Client Engagement & Digital Content Specialist. This role is ideal for someone with strong communication and customer-facing experience, who enjoys helping people, structuring content effectively, and working independently.

You will take ownership of content projects, support clients in writing clear, accessible and user-friendly content. Working closely with our designers, developers and project managers, you’ll support multiple projects by owning the content phases of a project. In addition to content design, you will take responsibility for client training, equipping teams with the skills they need to manage their own content in WordPress. You will be expected to lead client calls, confidently present information and guide organisations through content improvements – ensuring high standards without the need for close supervision.

This role requires initiative and accountability. You will be comfortable making decisions, managing priorities and solving problems independently. You won’t just follow instructions – you’ll be expected to take ownership of tasks, anticipate client needs and drive improvements.

You don’t need prior experience in content design or accessibility – we will provide full training to develop your skills in these areas. This role is ideal for someone looking to return to work after a career break, transition from a customer service or communications role into digital, or move into a flexible, remote-working position while still engaging with people.

Responsibilities:

Content migration & project delivery

• Lead all aspects of the content design process on website projects, ensuring content is structured, accessible and user-friendly.
• Review client-supplied content, providing feedback and improvement recommendations.
• Manage content migrations, ensuring accuracy, consistency and accessibility compliance.
• Work with project managers to estimate migration timelines and resource needs.
• Create and maintain content templates and structured guidelines to improve efficiency.
• Ensure final content meets quality standards before publication.

Content design & accessibility

• Plan, structure and write user-centred content that is clear, simple and accessible.
• Apply accessibility principles (WCAG) and GOV UK content guidelines to ensure content meets regulatory and legal requirements.
• Conduct content audits to identify and fix accessibility or readability issues.
• Support clients in writing clear, plain English content that is inclusive and accessible.
• Provide guidance on content SEO best practices, balancing searchability with readability.

Client training & consultancy

• Lead training workshops for clients on WordPress content management, accessibility compliance and content strategy.
• Develop training materials, guides and best practice documentation.
• Act as the first point of contact for clients during project delivery, ensuring their content and accessibility questions are handled professionally and effectively.
• Take the lead on client calls, ensuring calls are well-structured, informative and productive.
• Provide ongoing content and accessibility support, offering guidance on content improvements without requiring direct supervision or direction.
• Stay updated with accessibility and content design trends.

Collaboration & strategy

• Work closely with our designers, developers and the client services team to align content with user needs and accessibility best practices.
• Manage and plan resource for your projects and support tasks.
• Identify and mitigate risks on projects and troubleshoot issues quickly.
• Take ownership of content-related decisions, ensuring projects meet accessibility standards.
• Provide strategic recommendations to improve content quality and accessibility.
• Assist in Mixd’s marketing efforts, contributing to blogs, case studies and social media

Requirements:

Essential skills & experience

• We don’t expect you to have experience in digital content or accessibility yet – we’ll train you. However, you must have:
• Strong customer service or client-facing experience (e.g., in training, teaching, marketing, hospitality, HR, public services, or support roles).
• Confidence in leading presentations or training sessions (online or in person).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills – you can explain things clearly.
• Ability to work independently, manage projects and take initiative without daily supervision.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

Desirable (but not essential) skills

• If you have any of these, it’s a plus – but don’t worry if you don’t, we will train you!
• Experience working with websites or digital content.
• Understanding of accessibility best practices.
• Knowledge of WordPress or other website management systems.
• Familiarity with public sector or charity organisations.

A unique chance to make a real difference in the lives of children

Are you, like us, passionate about transforming the lives of children? We need your help to bring sustainable change to the most deprived children in the world, living in Darfur, Sudan, who are facing the threat of starvation and violence as the ongoing conflict in Sudan continues to threaten lives.

We need an Administrator to join our small, but dynamic team. You will have fun and learn many new skills as we work together. You will generally work from home, but as you will need to visit our office in Dorking, Surrey, once or twice a week, you will need to live within a reasonable distance. This is a key position with the responsibility of running the office, working with volunteers, supporting our Founder/Chairman, CEO and Deputy CEO, and ensuring our donors are kept up to date with all we are doing to help children so far away. You will get to know our supporters across the world many of whom have been helping Kids for Kids since we were founded in 2001.

About Kids for Kids

Kids for Kids is the only charity founded specifically to help children in one of the most challenging regions of the world, Darfur, Sudan. For the past 24 years we have been transforming the lives of whole communities through a unique package of integrated projects, working closely with the villagers themselves. Since 2001 we have adopted 110 villages transforming the lives of over half a million people. Despite ongoing violence we are still the only organisation delivering aid to remote communities thanks to volunteers in Darfur.  

What we are looking for

This is a key position as it will be your responsibility to ensure the smooth-running of the charity, enabling us to support even more children and their families. You will be the righthand person for our Founder/Chairman, CEO, and Deputy CEO. You will be in touch with supporters across the world. You will assist with drafting documents and correspondence with our supporters. You will be responsible for data entry and help us to migrate to a CRM system in the coming months. Event planning and coordinating with the rest of the team will be part of your brief, as will organising talks across the country to help raise awareness of our unique sustainable projects. You will be experienced with spreadsheets and with mailings, including the use of Reports from our current Access database. 2

Your efficiency in keeping accurate records and communicating effectively with our supporters will contribute directly to the extent in which we can help in Darfur. The administrative team is small, so your position is hugely important. You must have a keen eye for detail and love administrative tasks. Accuracy is essential. Because we all work from our own homes it is important that you are a good communicator, sharing our team spirit and ethos.

This is an immensely rewarding position, requiring someone who has a can-do attitude, is hardworking, efficient, has excellent attention to detail, can work in a fast-paced environment and is good at managing your own time. You will interact with our donors and Patrons as part of the public face of Kids for Kids, but most of all you will be as determined as we are to make a lasting difference to children’s lives.
