Ensuring that the Refugee Council is an inclusive and accessible place to work is important to us. We want to enable people from different backgrounds to apply and thrive with us. We believe our recruitment process enables that and are also happy to make adjustments on request.

This role will have a thematic focus on public engagement in decision-making on climate change and nature. Involve has a commitment to use our skills, time and experience to address big challenges. Climate change is one of those big challenges and is a policy area where citizen engagement on both principles and practice is vital.  It, and Net Zero in particular, risk becoming a polarised and politicised issue where there is little room for considered, inclusive decision making. We want Involve’s approach to offer a way through difficult issues like low emission zones and other challenges in a way that centres social justice and equity. 

We have a significant track record in public deliberation on climate change. We ran the first Climate Assembly in the UK and have since delivered a number of projects in this area including the People’s Plan for Nature. We have developed a reputation for best practice public dialogue, deliberation and capacity building. We want to grasp the opportunity for deliberative practices to make a real contribution to the change needed to respond to the climate crisis. 

This role will primarily sit within our Innovation and Practice (I&P) function but will work closely with our Capacity Building and Standards (CB&S) and Advocacy and Communications (A&C) functions. 

The I&P function is responsible for the deliberative, dialogic and participatory projects and processes that we run. The CB&S function aims to build capacity both inside and outside of public institutions to embed the processes, skills, structures and cultures needed for effective public participation in decision-making. The A&C function aims to build political and public understanding of and support for making participation and deliberation an everyday, integral part of our democracy. 

The Climate Engagement Lead will play a central role in taking Involve’s work on climate, environment and the just transition forward. It will mean a collaborative approach -  co-creating and coordinating our strategy on public engagement through a cross functional work group. 

The job will also involve leading several of our major climate change and nature projects, including the UKRI Thriving Places project; maintaining and growing our reputation in climate and environment networks; and communicating the contribution we can make and impact that we are having. Importantly, this role will work closely with others also working on these areas of work.

As an organisation, named after Mary the mother of Jesus and shaped by Christian values, we feel that the way we do things is as important as the result and we welcome all who wish to play their part in our important work. We continue to change the lives of over 2.4 million children who today will receive Mary’s Meals.

About the role 

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Art Director to join our award-winning in-house creative team. This is your chance to shape compelling campaigns that inspire action, drive awareness, and create a tangible impact. You’ll bring a unique blend of big ideas, strategic thinking, and hands-on design skills to ensure Shelter’s messages resonate powerfully across all platforms.

From ideation to launch, you’ll be responsible for delivering ambitious, research-driven concepts and solutions. You should feel equally at home designing to our brand guidelines and leading the charge on your own innovative concepts. Occasionally, you’ll also step in to support with general design needs, ensuring that all outputs for the Shelter brand meet the highest creative standards while maintaining brand consistency. A strong command of Adobe Creative Suite is essential.

In this varied, fast-paced, and rewarding role, you’ll collaborate closely with colleagues— specifically working alongside our Senior conceptual Copywriter taking briefs from concept to completion.

The role offers an opportunity to work across a range of media, including print, TV, social media, and experiential designs. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders across the organisation, creating communications for teams in fundraising, campaigns, services, and occasionally retail.

Supporting their wellbeing in the workplace will also be part of your leadership approach.

About the Team 

As our Senior Art Director you’ll be joining a friendly, talented and dedicated team who’ve recently won In-house agency of the year at the Drum awards. You will work closely with your Creative Lead and fellow writers and designers to deliver creative content to highest standard across all areas of our communication.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About Shelter

About the organisation

The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) is the leading charitable organisation promoting the enjoyment, study and conservation of wild plants in Britain and Ireland. We aim to build a diverse community of skilled and enthused botanists, provide data and science to help address biodiversity loss and climate change and disseminate information to drive a passion for plants. To do this we provide opportunities for involvement for all through a range of participation projects, surveys, indoor and outdoor events, training opportunities and the production of books and other resources. Our Distribution Database (DDb) holds over 50 million plant records, making it one of the world’s largest biological recording databases and in March 2023 we published the third Plant Atlas, mapping changes in the distribution of British and Irish flora. Our latest organisational Strategy, available on our website, describes our future plans.

Location: Remote

Deadline: 20th  February at 12pm

Interviews: 27th February in London

Every year in the UK thousands of unpaid carers look after someone with dementia but receive little or no support. At Dementia Carers Count, we stand for them. We campaign for change and provide practical, emotional and financial support to dementia carers across the UK.

Our Carers Support Service delivers free advocacy, casework, and counselling, so no carer feels invisible, isolated or alone. Carers describe the service as life changing.

The Advice and Advocacy Specialist will be responsible for assessing and supporting dementia carers when they first contact the service. This role will also deliver casework to secure rights and services. We are looking for someone who understands carers rights and has experience of delivering successful casework. We need someone who is adaptable and open-minded, but also able to focus on quality assurance and carer outcomes.

We are a small and remote multi-disciplinary team, committed to making a difference for carers and supporting each other. The role can be based anywhere in the UK, with attendance at monthly in-person meetings in London.

If you like the sound of the role, and believe you have the skills and experience to join us, then we would love to hear from you.
