Jobs in Kingston

As our Public affairs lead, you will design and deliver a political engagement strategy to secure real climate commitments from the government to reduce the environmental harms of advertising including an end to high carbon ads, public space planning reforms to stop billboards blighting our communities and the introduction of demand reduction policies for aviation.

Are you keen to see bolder policies from the UK government on climate, public space, and tackling high-carbon sectors including cars and flights?

Working with others in the Possible team and our partner organisations on the Badvertising project Adfree Cities and New Weather Institute, you’ll keep on top of the latest developments in areas of sustainable transport, aviation and  public space planning policies. You’ll design interventions and events for innovative policy proposals which move the ‘choice architecture’ in which we make decisions away from business-as-usual and towards an economy that puts communities, sustainability and a liveable planet first. In all this you’ll be assisted by experts in the wider Possible team and supported by a caring workplace.

Since the pandemic, fundraising at Marie Curie has been through a lot of change. However, the organisation recognises the importance of their activity within communities across the UK and community fundraising has been invested in. It’s an incredibly exciting time to join the team. Marie Curie’s fundraising team has a lot of ambition and just need the right people to join the charity who can help them realise that ambition.

Reporting to the Senior Community Fundraiser and working closely with some of the most talented fundraising people in the charity sector, your role will be to provide fundraising and administrative support to the team. That sounds straightforward, but the role of Fundraising Assistant is so much more than the sum of its parts. By providing that core support, and great stewardship to supporters, the Fundraising Assistant role is considered by many in the team as the glue that holds Fundraising together! 

The role requires empathy, a desire to deliver fantastic customer service and great relationship building skills. Marie Curie’s Fundraising Assistants are often the first contact families using their services have with the fundraising side of the charity and hold the key to engaging families with fundraising whilst remaining respectful and sensitive.

This entry-level role is perfect for someone interested in joining the charity sector and wants to learn. We don’t expect you to necessarily have paid fundraising/charity experience for this role.
