An opportunity to really make a difference. 

Peaches Womb Cancer Trust was founded in 2020 by a team of enthusiastic and dedicated researchers, doctors and nurses working alongside Professor Emma Crosbie. Since then, the original founders have been joined by invaluable volunteers and 2 staff members to ensure we can raise awareness, support patients, fund and promote womb cancer research.

Womb cancer, also known as endometrial and uterine cancer, is the most common gynaecological cancer in the UK. Affecting approximately 9,700 people annually, most are diagnosed over 50 years of age and have gone through the menopause, but womb cancer can affect younger women too. When diagnosed at an early stage, womb cancer is often treatable: when diagnosed at early stages, 1 and 2, the survival rate is 92%. However, when the disease is diagnosed at later stages, 3 and 4, the survival rate reduces to 15%. Currently 1 in 5 women, or people with a womb, are diagnosed at advanced stages. Latest figures show that the equivalent of 27 people every day are receiving a new womb cancer diagnosis and 7 people are dying from this disease every day in the UK. Peaches want to change that and save lives. We can't think of a better way to spend your time and deploy your skills.

The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) is the voice of firefighters in the UK.  We are the only recognised trade union negotiating nationally for firefighters and emergency fire control staff.

We're seeking a talented and driven individual to lead our social media, digital content and video operation. You will:

· Develop social media strategies that maximise engagement and support for the FBU, its aims and campaigns

· Shoot, script and edit videos; edit audio; and design infographics and other relevant digital content

· Run a reactive/trends-driven social media operation aligned with the objectives of the FBU

The FBU already has a small, effective communications team covering campaigns, press and external communications. If you have these skills, great. But what we are looking for in this post is someone with the passion and technical skills to take our social media, video and digital content to the next level. 

You’ll collaborate with other teams and union activists to bring projects to life, and you’ll have great storytelling skills.  You’ll also be willing and able to travel and attend events frequently.

If you love social media and have strong creative skills, this might be the job for you.  This is a new role, so proven experience in the social media landscape is essential along with experience or knowledge of political engagement or activism. 

We will consider requests for flexible working arrangements, including job share.
