Legacy Jobs

Hey there, come join our team and help us build a better world.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to make a difference in a small but influential national charity building a positive legacy for the late Jo Cox MP. We are looking for someone to provide administrative support for the team. You’ll work to support our core operations, and you’ll also be involved with the administrative aspects of our Stronger Communities work. In the first instance, this will mean supporting the delivery of our lottery-funded project in West Yorkshire through which we’re creating a shared vision for Batley, Heckmondwike and Dewsbury.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Operations and Projects Officer will provide administrative support for the team. You’ll be supporting the day-to-day running of the Foundation, helping to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Within operations, you’ll provide administrative support on everything from finance and HR to fundraising and supporter care.

As a member of the Stronger Communities team, you’ll also provide support for our work building less lonely, better connected communities across the UK, where everyone feels that they belong. This begins with our current lottery-funded Bridging & Belonging project in Kirklees. You’ll act as the main administrator for the project, supporting the Community Group and Yorkshire Programme Manager to lead the work.

This will include setting up meetings, liaising with community venues and services, managing enquiries, answering questions directly and getting responses from colleagues where necessary. There will also be occasional on the ground community-facing work supporting the Bridging and Belonging community group at local events in North Kirklees.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone who is engaged, positive, proactive and happy to work as part of a remote team. You’ll have good organisational, planning and problem-solving skills, and you’ll be able to communicate clearly both in writing and verbally.

As you’ll be working on our projects in Yorkshire, you’ll have a core knowledge about the region, especially West Yorkshire. Ideally you’ll have a particular understanding of Kirklees and the different communities living there.

In addition, you will have strongly held personal values which align with The Jo Cox Foundation’s vision and Jo’s ‘more in common’ ethos. These will be reflected in your respect for others and the desire to make a truly positive contribution through your work.

ABOUT THE JO COX FOUNDATION

The Jo Cox Foundation was established in 2016 by the friends and family of the late Jo Cox MP. The Foundation exists to make positive change on issues that Jo was passionate about. Just as she did, we believe in working together effectively with individuals and organisations that share the belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

We build stronger communities, encourage more respectful politics and advocate for a fairer world in Jo’s name. To date, our campaigns and initiatives have addressed a broad range of issues including tackling loneliness, reducing abuse and intimidation in public life and preventing atrocities in conflict-affected countries. No one day is ever the same as the next! 

Too often our politics and society emphasises our differences rather than our commonality. We believe that helping people to recognise that commonality allows us to feel more connected, build empathy and increase trust. It also builds understanding of the stark inequalities that many groups face within our society and strengthens the collective will to take action. Though we cannot address the root cause of all inequalities, we commit to championing change and advocating for action.

CTSI, boasting a rich legacy of safeguarding consumers for 141 years, stands as an ambitious professional membership organisation. Fuelled by the perspectives of our members and a resolute sense of purpose, we broaden our impact through the diverse range of services we provide to Trading Standards professionals across the UK.

If you are an experienced Digital Manager with a passion for Web development and the more technical aspects of digital marketing, then we have the opportunity for you! The opportunity has arisen for a “digital guru” to join our small digital and marketing team, to develop engaging and accessible content across our range of websites, to share knowledge and experience with the team and boost the profile of our profession.

The role requires someone with a hybrid creative/technical mind: a high standard of digital skills (e.g. good HTML skills, with knowledge of common Content Management Systems, Social Media channels, email marketing and Google Ads), and familiarity with popular digital tools, combined with good content development skills (i.e. a capable writer, with an eye for design, and excellent attention to detail) and the enthusiasm to learn quickly, on-the-job. Knowledge and prior experience of website accessibility would be a bonus too.

The ideal candidate will have advanced digital skills, extensive experience with content production and digital marketing tools. Experience within a Membership organisation is advantageous but not essential.

However, we are hybrid with a small office near Cannon Street in Central London and our Head Office in Basildon, Essex, and expectations are for all staff to attend for mandatory meetings, usually once a month. There may be occasions where other travel is necessary, such as for client meetings or exhibitions, but this will be communicated in advance.

Benefits include:

- Hybrid working, working abroad policy

- Minimum 25 days holiday plus bank holiday

- Christmas shut down, paid volunteer days

- Increased pension contribution

- EDI and family friendly policies

- Training and Membership funding

Charity People is delighted to be partnering with an incredibly inspiring health charity to help them find an experienced and motivated data professional to create an organisational data strategy and help revolutionise their approach to data.

You'll thrive on working with supporter data to make processes better, using automation to improve donor experience, driving a mission to retain and grow their supporter base.

The organisation is in their most exciting period of change for years. They are at the start of a large digital transformation programme, overhauling their current systems in multiple areas. As part of this, they are replacing their fundraising database and want to make sure their supporter data is connected and used well across the whole organisation.

They have recently started the project and chosen a CRM and partner to deliver it, but now they need someone to spearhead the data angle and drive the project forward alongside the Strategic Transformation Project Manager and Data Manager.

We are looking for someone who has either led or been heavily involved with a CRM migration before. The successful person will understand the importance of putting data at the heart of driving decision making, and the importance of customer or supporter journey and acquisition.

This is a real opportunity to build an incredible legacy within a passionate charity, building on great work that's been done so far and helping to take it to the next level.

This role is an 18-24 month contract at present, though we anticipate other opportunities may present themselves at the end of this interim period. Our client's HQ is in the Warwickshire area and due to the nature of the role, the successful candidate will need to commute in on average 1-2 days per week, though some weeks not at all. Ultimately, you'll be driven by the needs of the project.

If you have a background in data excellence and being part of Data migrations or transformations in the past, we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to drop me a line or give me a call directly.

There is real opportunity within this role to be exposed to all areas of a nonprofit organisation as you build relationships across all team and witness them also joining up data from their shops to their finance team too. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to leave a massive imprint on a household name.

Please note that due to an organisational need to get this position filled, we may close this before the stated date, should our client deem there to be enough suitable applicants.

If you are interested in this new role, please email your most recent CV to Neil Hogan at Charity People.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
