Are you:
-
Experienced in digital comms and looking to support some awesome working-class young people?
-
Eager to work for an organisation that isn’t afraid to take risks and places young people front and centre in its work?
-
Passionate about building a country where working-class people are heard, celebrated for our strength and diversity, and aren’t held back by our backgrounds?
About us:
RECLAIM is a bold charity that is committed to building a fair and just world for and with all working-class young people. We build knowledge, power, community and solidarity to campaign on the issues that affect them the most. We do this in three ways:
-
Community - Creating spaces that grow a sense of belonging and solidarity.
-
Campaigns - Challenging institutions, systems and structures.
-
Consultancy - Supporting organisations to become class-inclusive.
Role:
We are seeking a Digital Communications Officer to deliver engaging and informative content across our different platforms to our youth, adult and stakeholder audiences. This involves creating content and keeping our social media pages up to date, maintaining our website, working with young people to develop content, delivering supporter communication campaigns and embedding our organisational identity and tone of voice across all of our communications work.
Person Specification

Not familiar with the term working class?
No problem, lots of people aren't. It means different things to different people but for us at RECLAIM being working-class is characterised by a few key factors:
-
You're on, or grew up on, a low income with limited access to wealth.
-
You don't have many family connections to people with well paid, professional or powerful jobs.
-
You find it harder to 'fit in' in middle-class spaces, interests and conversations.
-
You're proud of your background and want people to see it as a strength, not a weakness
While working-class people have many of these things in common, we're a diverse bunch too. Working-class people are White, Black and Brown, LGBT+, disabled, recent migrants or refugees, or from families who can trace their roots in the UK back generations, of various religions or none, women, men and non-binary. We're many things but we share the experience of growing up facing those four factors above.
At RECLAIM we don't mind if people publicly identify as working-class or not, that's completely up to them.
You don’t need to be working-class to do this role or work at RECLAIM. Our work has always involved brilliant working-class allies. We do, though, especially encourage applications from people with direct experience of being marginalised by class and/or some other factor as we work to ensure our staff team is diverse as the young people we are here to support.

FARA exists to tackle poverty, and transform lives. This incredible organisation transforms the lives of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children, and young people living in Romania, giving them a sense of family. Do you want to join the team that provides a family for those without?
FARA is looking to launch the charity's new individual giving fundraising activities programme and is looking for an innovative, personable and collaborative individual to lead the creation and launch of this exciting area of development.
The Role
It is a hugely exciting time for the charity as it embarks on this new chapter! This role presents a once-in-a-career opportunity to build on the charity’s outstanding track-record of trading income-generation and optimise charity-shop customer loyalty by building FARA’s first individual giving programme. Your talent will be a fabulous addition to a highly experienced marketing team with ambitious plans to transform the charity’s communications, and you will work alongside colleagues across the whole organisation to deliver this work.
The Fundraising and Individual Giving Manager will be responsible for:
- Creating systems, structures, activities and messages designed to launch and grow income streams, predominantly from individual givers and community
- Using data to inform Individual Giving campaigns, creating powerful messaging to acquire, retain and upgrade donors through digital and offline methods.
- Creating and implementing methods of attracting and retaining people and community partners to donate and fundraise
- Identifying and optimising any emerging and new fundraising opportunities to help grow income for the organisation
The Person
Are you entrepreneurial, innovative, personable, and collaborative, with the knowledge and passion to develop and deliver a fundraising programme? Are you keen to get your teeth into a new challenge and create something from scratch, albeit based on the foundation of an outstanding trading customer database.
The role requires a candidate with a strong background in building relationships and someone who is able to identify and develop new fundraising messages, campaigns and activities.
The role presents a hugely exciting opportunity to create, test and learn and we are looking for someone with the skills to diversify income sources at FARA, utilising the extensive network of supporters it has gained through its 40 charity shops across London.
The post-holder will need the skills to develop engaging, creative content and be excited by the prospect of pursuing new opportunities for the organisation to engage with existing supporters—many of whom might only have ‘gifted’ the charity via donations of pre-loved clothes and other items to FARA shops.
Why FARA
FARA funds, develops, and manages social support services across Romania for vulnerable children, children with learning disabilities and complex needs, youth at risk, adults with learning dis-abilities, and community-based programmes, tackling poverty through education for Romania’s poorest families. FARA, established in 1991 following the fall of communism, has grown to be one of the biggest and most established NGO’s in Romania, working to building a stronger future for Romania.
This is an exciting new role for the organisation and a wonderful opportunity for the right individual to shape an emerging fundraising programme. You will be joining a relatively new marketing team that is working to build and develop this wider function for FARA to support the shops' net-work and fundraising work. Working with an innovative and creative team, you will be well-supported to test, learn, and apply to achieve success.
The role is permanent and full-time (although reduced hours will be considered), and offers the opportunity to work flexibly from the offices in Teddington and Angel, and from home. Please note the role will also require flexibility to travel between FARA’s shops to build relationships with staff and volunteers (travel will definitely be paid).
If you think you could be the right person to fulfil the exciting opportunities presented by this role, apply here, or get in contact Charlie or Leanne at Charity Horizons for more information. Please note the closing date is 27th August 2024.
Please note: If you would like to submit an application or express your interest in an alternative format such as audio or video upload, or require any adaptations for your initial engagement with us, please contact either Charlie or Leanne who will be happy to advise on this.
Please also be aware that we use anonymous recruitment methods when submitting shortlists for all our roles and we only work with organisations that are happy to engage with us in this way.
Charity Horizons is an equal opportunities employer and as such actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We welcome and encourage applications from all suitable candidates irrespective of age, disability, hidden disability, race or national origin, religion or belief, gender, gender expression, political view, sexual orientation, medical condition and pregnancy.
