Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:

• Can this be stopped?

• How will I live my life?

Currently, research into preventing and treating sight loss is chronically underfunded, receiving a mere 1.2% of publicly funded health research grants: people who are blind or vision impaired are three times more likely to experience loneliness and isolation than the general population.

We find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight. Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will prevent, treat and cure eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing life for blind and vision impaired people. 

We are Fight for Sight: we won’t stop until we: Save Sight. Change Lives.

We have a clear ambition, led by our CEO, Keith Valentine, who has valuable lived experience of sight loss. We’ve secured well-respected and highly engaged ambassadors, such as Sir John Major and Frances Segelman.

We are now looking for experienced, committed, and creative individuals to join our dynamic team to help realise a new five-year growth strategy. You’ll be part of something impactful, we’d love to hear from you.

We have a busy challenge events programme and an active Family Fund community programme, with ambitions to grow this area over the coming years as part of our five-year strategy. Key areas we are looking to focus on are investing in digital marketing, taking steps towards devising our own mass-participation event and grand challenges, and further integration with our London based charity shops.

We believe that every child, regardless of their background, should be able to fulfil their academic potential and go on to thrive. Founded by Dixons City Academy, the trust has over 30 years’ experience in transforming education through their network of high-performing, non-faith academies, operating in Leeds, Bradford, Liverpool and Manchester. • Manchester City Council celebrates and understands the importance of relationships between individuals, families, friends, neighbours and our diverse communities. At a time when the world around us can feel divided and disconnected, Manchester wants more than ever to strengthen its communities and social relationships. We think the best ways to build stronger communities in the city are through the ideas, actions and activities that are generated, designed and delivered locally. These are not just the responsibility of the Council and its partners in voluntary, faith and community organisations. They are also the responsibility of each of us – in school and college, at work, in business, in communities and in neighbourhoods – anywhere and everywhere. Parent Power is a key part of this effort. Parent Power supports parents and carers to develop skills in community organising and advice and guidance on accessing higher education, empowering them to make change to support their children’s future and ensure that they have a fair chance in education and their future careers. Working with us, the Community Organiser will: • Support local pupils from underrepresented backgrounds by empowering their parent/carers to become higher education experts; • Receive community organising training from Citizens UK and develop transferable skills; • Build campaigns to combat local educational barriers with parent/carer communities; • Join a nationwide community of community organisers making a significant impact on university access.

We're thrilled to be partnering with Christian charity Young Life International, a charity that believes in the power and potential of young people and helps them find hope and purpose. Their work begins with caring adults who meet young people right where they are, offering genuine friendship, a listening ear, and a heart for what really matters to them. By showing up with consistency, kindness and unconditional support, Young Life leaders help young people discover that their lives are full of worth, meaning and purpose. With fun, adventure, and authentic relationships, they create safe spaces where hope can take root. Through these trusted relationships, they gently earn the opportunity to share with young people the life-changing message of God’s love for them.

We're looking for an experienced philanthropy fundraiser who is a practicing Christian to become their Head of Philanthropy, London. This is an exciting brand new role. This is a wonderful opportunity to build deep, meaningful relationships with high-net-worth individuals in London and secure transformational funding that will grow Young Life International’s impact on young people in London, but with the potential for wider influence across the UK and Europe too.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

• Proven success in a philanthropy/major gifts role.
• Leadership experience, capable of managing a high-performing team
• Experience in developing and execiting an integrated fundraising and marketing strategy
• Ability to organise and deliver high-quality fundraising events targeted at high-networth individuals 

This is an exciting time to join the London team.

About the role

Christian Aid is seeking a Digital Acquisition Specialist to lead our paid search (Google and Microsoft) and paid social media campaigns (particularly on Meta platforms). You will play a key role in advancing our mission by acquiring new supporters and generating income through targeted, data-driven campaigns.

Working closely with the Digital Marketing Manager, you will design, execute, and optimise digital campaigns, ensuring they align with organisational goals and deliver measurable results. You'll manage 80% of campaigns in-house while collaborating with external partners for the remaining 20%. Your expertise in campaign strategy, budget management, and performance analysis will be crucial in maximising Return on Investment (ROI).

This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to Christian Aid's mission while working in a dynamic, agile environment. Occasional travel may be required, particularly during humanitarian emergencies.

About you

You are an experienced digital marketing professional with a strong background in both paid search and paid social campaigns. With at least three years of experience (in-house or agency), you are confident in managing Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta platforms. You have a solid understanding of audience targeting, keyword strategies, and performance optimisation.

Your skills in data analysis (using tools like Google Analytics 4) allow you to identify performance trends and generate actionable insights. You are proficient in creating compelling ads using tools such as Canva and Photoshop, and you can collaborate effectively with creative teams.

Strong communication and copywriting skills are essential, as you will present campaign strategies, deliver performance reports, and provide clear recommendations to stakeholders.

Further information

At Christian Aid we strive to be an inclusive and diverse employer and recognise the value that this brings in helping to build strong, creative and high performing teams.

We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, women, and older workers to apply. This is because these groups are under-represented within our teams, especially at senior level, and we recognise and value the contributions members of these groups make to strong, creative and high performing teams.

We have a strong Christian ethos and we encourage applications from all faiths and none (with the exception of Director positions where there is a genuine occupational requirement to be a practicing Christian - Exempted under the Equality Act 2010).

All successful candidates will require a DBS/police check appropriate to the role and location and a Counter Terrorism Sanction check as part of your clearance for commencing your role with us.

By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

This role requires applicants to have the right to live and work in the country where this position is based and undertake the role that you have been offered. If you are successful and we make you an offer for the role, we will be required to conduct a right to work check on your immigration status in the UK. We will contact you regarding the documentation you will need to provide to evidence this.
