Internally, within Hospice UK, you’ll work with colleagues from different departments to improve how we measure our own performance. You’ll develop a performance reporting framework which provides clarity and insight, from our Board level key performance indicators to our day-to-day operational process performance measures. 

Within Hospice UK the main data sources are our CRM, Website CMS, Grants Management, Finance and HR systems. We also use bespoke data capture forms and databases for specific purposes. 

We’re a small in-house ICT and Data team, supported by 3rd party suppliers. 

Your line manager is Richard Cooper, Data Manager. Richard joined Hospice UK in February 2024, bringing with him a wealth of experience from the private, public and non-profit sectors.

Our client is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow, and develop through Education. As an independent funder, the charity generates income from its endowment, which includes substantial property holdings and financial investments. This means it does not fund raise. To date, the organisation has awarded over £225 million in grants to a range of organisations that seek to promote the life chances of children and young people through Education, with around £15 million in grants distributed each year. The Charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 (or up to 30 for people with special educational needs and/or disabilities) who live within nine Boroughs in West, Central and North London.

This is a wide-ranging communications role with plenty of scope for development and growth, with the flexibility to be tailored to the strengths and interests of the postholder.

In addition to working for Charity, the post holder will also support the COO of the foundation in its newly developing communications work.  This will require working across 2 schools, and the Charity in collaboration with the communications teams across the Foundation. 

The person:

The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in a similar social media or digital communications role, ideally within the charity or not-for-profit sector but equally having come from a commercial setting, where an active interest in charitable work can be clearly evidenced.

The desire to learn new skills will be strongly evident in this person, they will relish the thought of collaborating with colleagues to grow their expertise and to share ideas on how to optimise delivery across the digital and social media space. Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail, this person will be a strategic thinker with the ability to plan ahead and to spot opportunities further down the line to maximise the impact and reach of charity’s work. A working knowledge of WordPress and website management will be very useful but not essential.

Above all, this person will be an enthusiastic, ambitious and collaborative team player, who thrives in an office-based environment where they will be able to exchange ideas with other team members, celebrate success and ensure the overall charitable aims of the organisation and its community of grantees are met.
