At the Charity for Civil Servants, we can’t always prevent the tricky, stressful, sad stuff from happening. But when it does happen, we help current, former and retired civil servants get the best support. Join us as we embark on the next phase of our strategy to ensure we can be there when people need us the most.

We are now recruiting for a Community and Engagement Lead for the North and Midlands which is a pivotal role, forming part of the main public-facing profile of Charity for Civil Servants.

This is a senior role, which focuses on building productive, supportive and lasting relationships across our community. Community has an interesting twist for us as an occupational charity, meaning that the majority of our ‘Community’ are reached within their workplace.

This role is crucial in ensuring the Charity is highly visible amongst our target audiences. Key areas will include senior leaders, networks, staff social & community groups and departmental associations, site leads, charity committees and commercial partners.

To be successful in this role, you'll be an expert in building and developing relationships with individuals and organisations, including high-value stakeholders, as well driving awareness, participation and loyalty activities. You’ll also be experienced in working closely with volunteers and developing and delivering opportunities for community fundraising.

This is an exciting time to join the Charity as we seek to embed our presence as a UK-wide charity. If you would like to be a key member of our Fundraising department, then we would like to hear from you today!

In return, we can offer you excellent benefits including a health cash plan, Headspace, life assurance, excellent pension, generous annual leave, and interest free loans for season tickets and our cycle to work scheme.

First stage interviews will be held online on 26 September. Please let us know in your covering letters if either of these dates would be difficult for you or if you need any adjustments to enable you to perform to your best at interview.
