We have an exciting opening for someone to join our team as the Head of our Campaigns By You (CBY) team. We need a campaigns expert who understands politics, digital campaigning, platform management, partnership working and how to win both national and local grass roots campaigns.
The Head of Campaigns By You leads the CBY department, crafting plans and supporting the team to run impactful national and local campaigns launched by supporters and partner organisations, which aim to shape the country to be fair, respectful and sustainable. This role oversees the development, outreach and growth of our CBY platform to ensure that we’re giving the best possible support to petition starters and attracting a growing number of petition starters and partner organisations who share our values.
The Head of Campaigns By You must overview and lead the CBY team’s campaign outputs and the performance of the tech platform to ensure organisational health and sustainability. They manage risk, and are the escalation point for moderation decisions on what we host. They balance the CBY campaign team’s campaign portfolio to ensure that it’s engaging thousands of supporters and fundraising effectively in order to create political impact – and they lead the team to collaborate across the wider function and organisation. This is not a hands off role, you’ll be expected to lead the team by example.
Your background and experience
We are looking for someone who understands 38 Degrees, our model and our organisational culture already, and our fierce determination to change our country – campaigning to do so without fear or favour whoever is in power. You will have worked at, or with, a similar organisation to us, where our supporters are our purpose, and you’ll be ready to engage in discussions about campaigning tactics and way of working from day one.
The CBY platform is central to our mission to give people power in order to make the country fair, respectful and sustainable. You understand how to translate complex issues into everyday understandable language and you’re experienced in running digital and offline campaigns that create change in local, national, political and corporate issue areas.
You’ll have experience of working in productive and positive environments, and you’ll have insight into how teams can be set up for success in a campaigning space.
You’ll be adept and experienced at project management, understand the pressures the team face working in a fast paced reactive environment and be able to get the best of people in this context to help deliver on longer term, strategic goals alongside making the most of quick reactive opportunities.
And most of all, you will be a positive, practical person who can work with others, bringing them with you, to solve problems in a collaborative way.
About us
38 Degrees is one of the UK’s biggest campaigning communities, involving over a million supporters who campaign to make the UK a better place. We’re united by a shared vision to create a fairer and more respectful UK and a more sustainable world.
In the space of a week, millions of supporters could be campaigning on anything from protecting our NHS and stopping cuts to Universal Credit, to saving local green spaces and protecting our democracy.
38 Degrees is fiercely independent. We are primarily funded by small donations from hundreds of thousands of members of the public from all over the UK. This independence means we never have to hold ourselves back from taking on those with power and can truly listen to our supporters.
Why you’ll want to work here
The 38 Degrees culture is honest, kind, supportive, courageous, and respectful. We move fast, and frequently change plans to respond to events. We work hard but we also have fun. We regularly enjoy team away days and social hours.
Benefits include:
27 days holiday per year (plus bank holidays); Office closure between Christmas and New year; 9-day fortnight (office closed every other Friday); 4pm closure on the alternate Friday; Flexibility to work 90 days per tax year (30 day maximum per travel in any location as per approval process); One month paid sabbatical leave after 5 years of service; Employer pension contribution; 24 hour employee assistance programme; Enhanced family leave policies; Cycle to work scheme; Employer paid annual flu vaccination; Rental deposit loan; Contribution to eye tests/glasses; Learning and development budget.
Our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
We’re especially keen to hear from people who’ll bring lived experience of the issues we work on and who’ll make our team more diverse as a result. So if you’re Black, Asian or from any other minority ethnic group, if you’re disabled, LGBTQIA+, or if you’re from a working class home, your application will be especially welcome. And thanks to our flexible home working approach and network of offices, we have a staff team that is increasingly based across the UK. We’re keen to continue diversifying geographically, so that we’re rooted in our supporters’ communities.
To make sure that we are able to reach our goal of a diverse team we have equal opportunities monitoring requirements. Your application will not be complete without the equal opportunities monitoring form.
38 Degrees is committed to inclusive working practices, so during the application process we commit to:
-
- Paying for childcare whilst you’re at 38 Degrees interviews or tasks
- Paying for your travel costs to the office and back – and for overnight accommodation if you’re travelling from a long distance for an interview although at present the majority of interviews are held online using zoom.
- Making any reasonable adjustments – for example ensuring we have a BSL interpreters organised in advance if you’d need one
- If there anything else you’re concerned about or think we could provide, please let us know.
To be successful in your application you must meet the essential requirements for this role and answer the questions below which are part of the selection criteria. Without completion of this task your application cannot be considered.
The successful candidate must have the right to work in the UK at the time of appointment.
Application Questions (max word count: 2000 words across all questions)
1. Tell us about a digital campaign you have been part of, including what you were trying to achieve, how you developed a strategy, how you brought team members together to action the plan, and what the results you achieved.
2. 38 Degrees is a digital-first, people-powered campaigning organisation where millions of people do something small to add up to bigger political and corporate change. Tell us about a time you’ve worked with a similar model – and why you think this specific form of campaigning can make a difference in the country.
3. Alongside offering free petition technology to individual members of the public, our CBY platform enables us to partner with other organisations so that they can run campaigns on our systems. Knowing what you do about 38 Degrees and our political positioning, who do you think would be a good new partner organisation for us to approach to work with and why?
4. You’ve noticed a news story blowing up this morning about unfair conditions for delivery drivers, it’s headline news across the country. We want to get a petition live by this afternoon and ideally have someone with a personal story as the petition starter. What sort of person would make the best story teller, and how would you go about finding them and persuading them to start a petition?

At The National Lottery Community Fund we are committed to making a bigger difference in the years ahead. That’s why being ‘impact-focussed’ is one of our core values.

Our 2030 strategy ‘It starts with community’ sets stretching goals and puts impact at the heart of what we do.
We’re recruiting for a Head of Strategic Analysis in our newly formed Evidence and Impact team. You will help us build stronger insight into the challenges faced by communities across the UK and the case for action in each of our four mission areas. You will connect this evidence about the external environment in which we operate and the future trends for society and the economy to our ongoing performance monitoring and KPIs. You will lead your team’s work to communicate evidence in a compelling and engaging way to a wide range of audiences. The strategic analysis and research your team delivers will support advocacy and influencing at both a UK-wide and country portfolio level.
Ultimately your work will ensure that The National Lottery Community Fund has the evidence we need to deliver the full impact and benefit of ‘It starts with Community’ and that we have the processes in place to adapt and learn, including in preparing the insight that we need to set strategy beyond 2030.
We’re looking for a strategic thinker who can connect the evidence and insight our team creates to the decisions at hand at all levels of our organisation. This means you must be able to demonstrate experience of presenting insight to senior stakeholders at Executive and Board level in a way that promotes evidence-led strategy and policy.
We aim to ‘lead the agenda’ with insight, so you will have strong experience of leading teams to develop clear and purposeful insight products for use in strategic communications and advocacy. Your people management skills will be crucial to this role as you lead the 5-strong Strategic Analysis team, developing a supportive culture of high-performance. You will forge strong partnerships with a wide range of colleagues in the UK-wide Evidence and Impact function and play a key role in our leadership team as we strive for ‘One Fund’ ways of working.
This role can be based in any of our offices. Some travel is expected to attend leadership meetings and connect with colleagues who are based in different locations of the country.
Interview Date: w/c 3rd February
Location: UK - We have a hybrid approach to working, work pattern and location will be agreed with the successful candidate. The role can be based at any of our UK offices, these are Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Exeter, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Newcastle and Newtown.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Communities in the UK come in all shapes and sizes. National Lottery funding is for everyone – therefore, we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and we work hard to ensure our funding reaches where it is needed.
We also believe our people should represent the communities, organisations and individuals we work with. That’s why The National Lottery Community Fund is committed to being an inclusive employer and a great place to work. We recognise and celebrate the fact that our people come from diverse backgrounds. We positively welcome applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities or longstanding health conditions, people who are LGBTQ+, and people from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds, as well as people of all ages.
As a Disability Confident Employer, we take a proactive approach in making reasonable adjustments, if needed, throughout the recruitment process and during employment. (This can be related to a physical and mental health condition.)
It starts with community.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Closing date: Tuesday 14th January 2025 at 9am
Working arrangements: Remote working, permanent, regular or ad hoc (with frequent travel to London if not London-based) Please note that we also have approximately 3-4 team retreats per year which could be located anywhere nationally.
We have an exciting opening for someone to join our team as Head of Core Campaigns. Playing a senior role in our Impactful Campaigns department, you’ll help run and win campaigns that make the UK a better place but you’ll also be a key player in shaping the overall direction of 38 Degrees – including the culture, the team, and organisational strategy.
Day-to-day, you’ll be developing campaign and public affairs and media strategies and guiding teams to put those plans into action.
No one day will be the same: sometimes you’ll be responding quickly to a news moment and other times working on longer term projects and campaigns, often needing to change direction or reprioritise quickly and decisively.
You’ll be a champion of our supporters and come up with ideas and tactics – from digital tools like petitions, to media and working with external partners and allies – that will engage huge numbers of people, and allow us to make real change in the world. We need a campaigns expert who understands politics, the media, digital campaigning, partnership working and what it takes to win campaigns.
The Head of Core Campaigns leads the Campaigns team, overseeing and supporting the development of plans and supporting the team to run impactful, highly engaging campaigns, which aim to shape the country to be fair, respectful and sustainable; and the Public Affairs and Media team, to ensure that we’re taking every opportunity to show decision-makers our muscle and boost our brand and reputation.
Your background and experience
To succeed in this role, you’ll need excellent communication skills, sound political judgement, the ability to thrive when working at pace and to role model a collaborative approach. This is not a hands off role, and you’ll be expected to lead the team, and our ‘one team’ way of working culture, by example.
We are looking for someone who understands 38 Degrees, our model and our organisational culture already, and our fierce determination to change our country – campaigning to do so without fear or favour, whoever is in power.
With experience at working at, or with a similar organisation to us, you’ll be able to demonstrate the ways we can use our greatest strengths – our supporters and our rapid reactivity – to win campaigns by using campaigning, public affairs and media tactics and opportunities to greatest strategic effect.
You’ll have loads of experience in digital-first campaigning, especially knowing how to use a large email list to spark activism, but also will love using a range of digital tools and platforms to give people the power to influence decision-makers.
You understand how to translate complex issues into everyday, understandable language and you’re experienced in running digital and offline campaigns that create change in local, national, political and corporate issue areas.
As you’ll oversee our small Public Affairs and Media team, you’ll know what makes Westminster tick, and how to influence politicians and journalists in every part of the country.
You’ll have experience of working in productive and positive environments, and you’ll have insight into how teams can be set up for success in a campaigning space.
You’ll be adept and experienced at project management, understand the pressures the team face working in a fast paced reactive environment, and be able to get the best of people in this context to help deliver on longer term, strategic goals alongside making the most of quick reactive opportunities.
And most of all, you will be a positive, practical person who can work with others, bringing them with you, to solve problems in a collaborative way.

Diversity and inclusion are important to us. We want our team of staff to be representative of all sections of society, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. We understand that you may not meet every requirement listed, but if you feel you could make a valuable contribution to our charity, we encourage you to apply. You may be a great fit for this or another role.
We use the recruitment platform Hireful. Using Hireful allows us to reduce unconscious bias and subjectivity, and candidates experience a more skills-based recruitment process which helps us to hire the best talent for our roles
The application process includes an inbuilt anonymisation feature which removes identifiable personal data from your CV. To enable this please ensure your name you use on the application form matches exactly with that on your CV.
We also add competency questions to the process which asses your approach to real issues that you would face in this role. Each response is anonymised and reviewed separately by each hiring team member before the total scores are averaged to create a leader board of candidates.
We would rather AI wasn't used for your answers as we want the real you, however we do reserve the right to reject applications if we feel the use of AI has been excessive.
Deadline to apply is Sunday 12th January 2025 and interviews are expected to be held the week of 20th January 2025.

We're Molly Rose Foundation, founded following the death of 14-year Molly Russell. At Molly's inquest, a coroner ruled harmful online content contributed to her death. In her name, we've now got big plans to create change and save young lives.
We're looking for two Policy and Public Affairs Managers that can help us grow and deliver our crucial mission. This is an important opportunity to shape policy, legislation and regulation, and to shape the tech accountability agenda in the UK and beyond.

You’ll have the strategic nous to succeed in a fast-moving policy landscape, with the skills and experience to set the weather with ministers, regulators and MPs. You’ll be as comfortable with the big picture as you are with the detail. Most importantly, you’ll be driven every day by the chance to make change that really matters.
