Hybrid working, with primary location at our London office

This is an exciting time for the WI, as we are planning the next stages of our strategy and building on our strategic vision launched in 2020 – to be bold and inspiring, growing and relevant, flexible and inclusive. We are proud to say that we continue to be the largest and most influential UK-based women’s organisation, with over 180,000 members. Our campaigns push for change on the issues that matter to women and their communities, and we have been a powerful voice throughout our 108-year history on issues from equal pay for women to protecting the environment from pollution. Today we continue to support and empower women to campaign to tackle climate change, for more awareness of mental health and to end violence against women. The WI has a track record of achieving real change on a huge range of issues, and this record of action shows that we are as relevant today as we were in 1915 when we began.

The National Federation of Women’s Institutes (the NFWI) is responsible for running the organisation and provides support and advice to members at both regional and local levels. The NFWI also works with the Denman Trust to fulfil its charitable objectives and implement a comprehensive educational programme of courses and activities, both online and in person, to WI members and non-members.

Confident reporting and presenting at Board level, as well as networking and engaging with stakeholders at all levels, you will have a demonstratable understanding of marketing and fundraising within the charity sector.
