The Student and Recent Graduate Engagement Manager will have sole responsibility for developing, leading and implementing a strategic programme which champions engagement with students and recent graduates across the University both on our Edgbaston and Dubai campuses. From arrivals weekend through to graduations and the first five years after University, the Student and Recent Graduate Engagement Manager will ensure a creative, engaging and tailored experience for students and recent graduates. 

2025 marks the University’s 125th Anniversary, and the post holder will be responsible for maximising the opportunities presented by this occasion to support strategic imperatives around student recruitment, graduate employability and philanthropy.

The Student and Recent Graduate Engagement Manager will proactively seek opportunities for the Development and Alumni Relations Office to connect donors and volunteers with students and recent graduates, and to promote opportunities for students to benefit from the Birmingham in Action campaign. The post holder will represent DARO in relevant forums and networks across the University and will work alongside the senior teams in departments such as in Careers Network and the Guild of Students. 

The Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) exists to support The University of Birmingham's academic and student community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities. The Office, which is comprised of five teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from alumni, organisations and individuals who are passionate about changing lives, through funding various research projects, supporting student bursaries, mentoring students, and providing internships, as well as providing a versatile programme of engagement opportunities for our global alumni community.

We believe there is no such thing as a typical member of staff and that diversity is a source of strength that underpins the exchange of ideas, innovation, and debate. We warmly welcome people from all backgrounds and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is at the heart of who and what we are, and how we work.

Supporting our people to achieve a healthy work/life balance is important both to our employees and to the success of the University and, depending on the role, we offer a variety of flexible working arrangements. We therefore welcome discussions on all forms of flexible working. In addition, you will receive a generous package of benefits including 40 days paid holiday a year, one paid day a year for volunteering, occupational sick pay, and a pension scheme.

About Us 

At The Lullaby Trust our vision is clear: a world where no baby dies suddenly or unexpectedly, and every grieving family gets the support they need. We exist to keep babies safe and support bereaved families. 

We give families a safer start to life and create a supportive space for anyone whose baby or infant has died suddenly or unexpectedly. We empower families and health professionals with trusted advice on keeping babies safe, backed by research, and provide grieving families with bereavement support, side-by-side.

Since 1991 we have reduced the rate of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by 82% and saved the lives of over 32,000 babies. But our work is not over, as three babies still die suddenly and unexpectedly a week. 

About the role

Data underpins everything we do. We’re looking for a Senior Database Officer with exceptional data management and analytical skills to ensure our data is structured, maintained, and utilised effectively across the organisation.

In this key role, you’ll work closely with teams across fundraising and communications, using your expertise in data analysis, segmentation, and reporting to drive strategic decision-making. Your insights will help optimise engagement, retention, and stewardship across our supporter base.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need a deep understanding of CRM systems, data integrity, and reporting tools, along with a keen analytical mindset to translate data into meaningful actions. Your work will directly contribute to our mission to keep babies safe and grieving families supported.

If you’re an analytical thinker with a passion for using data to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you!

The main functions of your role will be:

1. To be responsible for the management and enhancement of our Raiser’s Edge (RE) database including new and  complex data requests and selections, and integrations with external platforms

2. To provide training in Raiser’s Edge to the organisation

3. To be The Lullaby Trust’s Data Protection Officer

This role can be offered as a hybrid role (with approximately one day per week in our London office) or fully remote, with occasional visits to the office for meetings or staff days as necessary; the two salary ranges above reflect this. The 21 hours could be worked across 3-5 days per week.

It is a key time to be joining The Lullaby Trust as we have just launched our new brand positioning, new website and creative direction, to help us reach more families and supporters than ever. We are a friendly, flexible employer and want to create a diverse and inclusive work environment for everyone. 

If this excites you, we would love to hear from you. For more information on the role and how to apply, please have a look at our job pack and apply through Charity Job. 

For every baby. For every family. Forever. Together, we can keep babies safe.

Please do not use AI software to generate your application answers; it is usually obvious when this has been done as the answers generated tend to then be exactly the same as other candidates. We'd love to see what you can uniquely bring to the role.

The purpose of NEON’s network is to bring together people working for social justice to learn, connect and organise. NEON hosts a network of almost 1.5k members working in a wide range of social movements and roles. We run regular socials and events to bring together network members in person, we provide them with regular updates of the work we do and the resources we offer, and our network is a resource for NEON folks to identify the organisations and people they want to collaborate with to build the capacity of social movements. Members also use the network (via the Mobilise app and mailing lists) to share their own work and start conversations on many issues, from politics to strategy to communications and more. 

NEON’s network is key to what we do. We want to grow it and make it an even more useful resource for members, so it becomes a home for people working across social justice movements in the UK. This role will take a lead in designing and delivering a strategy to do that, focusing on developing and delivering creative ways to expand the network and the engagement of members with NEON and with each other. A big part of this is organising public events and accessible webinars & trainings to engage the widest possible audience, and finding new ways to grow our online community. But it’s also about building strong relationships with the people in the network and expanding our offer to meet their needs, while helping to increase the reach and impact of NEON’s programmes. You’ll have considerable scope to experiment in this role.

There has been no coordinating body or collective voice for the Voluntary and Community

Sector (VCS) in the London Borough of Waltham Forest for many years, so the sector

recently came together to create a new umbrella organisation. Waltham Forest CVS is in the

process of being registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and will be

launched in 2025. With initial financial support from the local council, WF CVS will also

fundraise to ensure sustainability going forward. Its creation aims to ensure that there is a

collective voice for the sector, as well as enabling VCS organisations to strengthen their own

work and contribution to Waltham Forest’s diverse and vibrant communities.

The process of setting up the CVS has so far been volunteer-led by individuals from local VCS

organisations, who have established a CVS Transition Board (CVS TB). For the CVS to thrive,

it now needs focused energy to get its work under way, and the position of Coordinator will

be key to this as the first paid position in the CVS. The Coordinator will implement the initial

milestones agreed by the CVS TB, as well as developing new plans and resources with the

active participation of VCS organisations. They will be ready to adapt and grow their own

role to ensure the CVS develops as productively as possible, which will require considerable

initiative and creativity. They will be the line manager of the communication and

membership officer and, as more resources are raised, will also line manage other staff.

Central to the role will be the commitment to engage with and be led by the vibrant local

voluntary sector, putting in place mechanisms that enable ownership and participation in

the CVS’s activities. The CVS will thrive if it is able to draw on the substantial skills and

experience available within the sector while consciously supporting the inclusion of those

organisations that have often been marginalized or overlooked in the past; supporting and

building these approaches will be central to the success of the Coordinator.

Please note that the deadline date for all applications is 30/03/2025 at midnight.

All interviews will likely take place week beginning 7/04/2025.
