About The Murray Parish Trust

Children with a serious illness are three times more likely to struggle with their mental health. Their childhoods are overshadowed by coming to terms with diagnosis, hospital stays, treatment, feeling different from friends or managing how their illness affects daily life. Many of them struggle with severe anxiety and depression, experiencing isolation and trauma during their journey. These children are at much higher risk of long-term mental health difficulties that are more complex and difficult to treat, on top of living with often complex medical needs.

Actors Jim Murray and Sarah Parish’s first daughter, Ella-Jayne, was born with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome in 2009 and spent half her short life in paediatric intensive care, Southampton Children’s Hospital. Ella-Jayne died, at home, just eight months old. After they recovered from the immediate horror, Jim and Sarah felt an overwhelming drive to help other children and families and founded The Murray Parish Trust in 2014. They were awarded MBE’s in the King’s New Years Honours 2025 for services to seriously ill children and their families.

Our charity delivers projects that support the mental health of seriously ill children and their families. We improve access to specialist, imaginative and empowering support, at the earliest possible moment, to prevent long-term mental health difficulties. We do this by delivering a vast range of projects in children’s hospitals, hospices and other health or community settings across the UK. These include drama, dance, art, nature and music therapy; bereavement and mortuary suites, distraction equipment that reduces anxiety, sanctuary and quiet rooms; sibling support; counselling and therapy rooms; and psychological support for children/family members.

The role - Head of Public Fundraising and Operations

This is an exciting new chapter for The Murray Parish Trust. Our new Head of Public Fundraising and Operations will work closely with the Board of Trustees and our Head of Philanthropy and Projects to scale our impact and expand reach nationwide. They will play a pivotal role in leading operations and shaping the charity’s future, as well as leading on growing income from community, corporate, individual fundraising, which have been identified as strategic fundraising priorities.

We anticipate time will be split roughly equally between leading public fundraising and operational management. There is some freelance support with marketing, corporate and community fundraising, and volunteer coordination, plus trustee support with events; there is scope to expand the team as income grows. This role will support their work as well as personally deliver public fundraising activity, taking sole responsibility for individual giving and legacies.

This is a job of variety, innovation and opportunity. We are looking for an experienced fundraiser, perhaps an aspiring charity CEO, who is looking to develop skills and knowledge in charity management and strategy. This is a job for someone who is ambitious, collaborative, proactive and who has a genuine passion for championing the mental health of seriously ill children and their families.

The role and responsibilities

As Head of Video Content, you will lead and manage a team of producer/directors, video editors, and a post-production manager, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, engaging, and impactful video content. You will oversee multiple video projects simultaneously, keeping workflows efficient and production timelines on track.

Unifrog’s video content helps young people make informed decisions about their future. This includes Careers Library profiles featuring professionals discussing their jobs, Subject Library profiles where university students share insights into their studies, and Employer and University profiles offering a glimpse into these organisations. We also produce course videos for online learning as well as internal marketing content.

Collaboration will be central to your work, as you’ll liaise with internal teams—particularly Higher Education, Employer, and Marketing teams—as well as external partners to ensure our content is engaging, informative, and aligned with audience needs. 

While primarily a leadership role, this position also requires hands-on expertise in either producing/directing or video editing/post-production (ideally both). Depending on your background, you’ll step in to lead shoots or support edits as needed, providing informed feedback and ensuring high creative and technical standards.

What we are looking for

Leadership and management 

• Proven line management experience, with the ability to inspire and motivate a team.

• Highly organised and forward-thinking, with the ability to schedule shoots and/or edits efficiently.

• Strong project management skills to oversee multiple projects, ensuring deadlines and lead times are met.

• Ability to evaluate existing workflows and implement improvements to enhance productivity and content quality.

Creative and editorial excellence

• A clear vision for creating impactful video content that resonates with audiences, particularly young people.

• Awareness of video trends and audience expectations, ensuring the team produces cutting-edge content.

• Strong editorial judgment and an eye for detail to maintain high production standards.

• Creative problem-solving skills to find innovative solutions in fast-paced production environments.

Communication and collaboration

• Strong professional communication skills to engage with internal teams and external partners effectively.

• A collaborative approach to work closely with Higher Education, Employer, and Marketing teams to align video content with strategic goals.

Technical expertise 

• In-depth knowledge of video production processes, from pre-production to post-production.

• Expertise in either filming/producing/directing or video editing and post-production (ideally both), with the ability to guide and mentor the team.

For producing and directing:

• Ability to schedule and organise shoots effectively, ensuring smooth production workflows.

• Skilled in operating professional cameras, such as the A7S, and adept at handling lighting and sound equipment.

• Capability to direct shoots effectively, working collaboratively with stakeholders who may not be familiar with video production requirements.

For video editing and post-production:

• Ability to manage and coordinate the team’s editing schedule, ensuring deadlines are met and final outputs meet high standards.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere and a basic understanding of the creation of motion graphics animations.

• A keen understanding of storytelling and pacing to create engaging, audience-focused edits.

• Capability to handle sound design, colour grading, and other elements required for technical and creative excellence.

• Ability to integrate constructive feedback efficiently, ensuring quality and consistency across all deliverables.

This role is perfect for someone who’s passionate, motivated, and thrives in a dynamic environment. You’ll enjoy balancing multiple responsibilities while ensuring creative output aligns with Unifrog’s mission and objectives. If you bring a strong technical foundation, leadership experience, and a knack for creative innovation, we’d be excited to hear from you.

About Prostate Cancer Research

Prostate Cancer Research (PCR) is a research and information provision charity that is dedicated to improving and saving the lives of people with prostate cancer. Patients are central to everything we do and drive our work. Our work covers four key areas:

• Academic and social research – We fund novel and innovative research projects at world-leading institutions that are working towards breakthroughs in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of advanced prostate cancer, and better quality of life outcomes for patients. We ensure that our research is targeted to address patient need and research gaps to maximise our impact and reach better treatments for patients sooner.

• Translational research – We set up Proven Connect, the translational research arm of PCR, to focus on ensuring more promising treatments get from lab to patient through bridging the gap between industry, investors, health providers and patients.

• Patient information and empowerment – We acknowledge that research alone is not enough to achieve our vision. We involve, educate, and empower people affected by prostate cancer to enable them to play a more active role in driving forward changes in research, treatment and care.

• Influencing – We seek to ensure greater equity of treatment and parity of care, and are working towards a world where no man is left behind, where prostate cancer is caught early and can be cured. 

Our vision for the future is clear: to be an integral part of creating one of the healthiest ecosystems for any disease type. An ecosystem that is connected, collaborative, equitable, and effective. Over the next 3 years we are setting ambitious targets to double our research funding, accelerate twelve biotech ventures, engage at least 100,000 people in influencing change, initiate three novel projects to enhance equity, and grow our income to more than £7 million.
