Ever been in an organisation that doesn’t value communications or where communications are often an afterthought? This isn’t one of them…
Reach exists to inspire and connect potential volunteers and trustees with charities and good causes, to help address some of society’s biggest issues. And we know that great communications, branding and storytelling sit at the heart of that.
As Head of Marketing and Communications, you will be the driving force of our communications and our sole, respected, go-to communications specialist. You will have the opportunity to lead our communications strategy - keeping our chosen audience, values, message and brand positioning in mind - whilst doing the hands-on work of creating campaign materials, writing impactful content, sourcing case studies and managing the input of other creatives.
And while you’ll always wish you had more budget and time, the beauty of working in comms at Reach is that we are small and have clarity of purpose, aligned messaging between our areas of work and light-touch sign-off processes. You will have the autonomy to shape our communications strategy and to flex your creative muscles by implementing and testing it.
What Reach does
Through our bespoke online service, charities and groups find volunteers with expertise they could not otherwise access - from trustee positions to technical and creative roles. At the same time, we inspire thousands of people to volunteer their skills every year, to make change. Last year over 13,000 new volunteers signed up to Reach - more than three times the pre-pandemic rate.
Working at Reach
We are a friendly, deeply collaborative team of 10 staff, supported by volunteers, freelancers and a strong board. We live our values: bold and experimental, people-centred, collaborative and honest. You will be encouraged and supported to take risks and to learn and develop, and enjoy plenty of autonomy.
Reach Volunteering is committed to becoming a more diverse, inclusive and equal organisation, and to helping to increase equity, diversity and inclusion in civil society. We have put equity at the heart of our new vision, values and beliefs. We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences. We would particularly welcome applications from candidates who are disabled, from the global majority, who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, and / or identify as from a lower or disadvantaged socioeconomic background as these groups are currently under-represented on our staff team. We would also welcome candidates who identify as male, for the same reasons.
We encourage flexible working and many of our staff work their hours in different ways. We are open to discussing what would work for you and be possible for the role.
Other benefits include:
● 26 days annual leave, plus three bonus days at Christmas (plus Bank Holidays).
● Up to six days volunteering leave per annum.
Requirements:
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of working effectively with leadership teams and influencing strategic direction to deliver highly effective marketing and communications. You’ll be an effective digital marketer, with the ability to integrate strategy with day-to-day work
Just as important is *how* you work: you will be great at collaborating, prioritising, and flexing your priorities as needed. You’ll be resourceful, and relish creativity bourne from the constraints of working in a small team with big ambitions. You will share our values and work in a way that embeds them.
To apply
To make our recruitment process as fair as possible, and to reduce bias, we will shortlist based on your responses to a question about how you would approach a typical task for someone in this role, and why you are attracted to this role. Your responses will be anonymised before shortlisting.

About the Students’ Union
UCA SU represents 5,200 students, primarily across three main sights at Farnham, Epson and Canterbury. We are an independent democratic charity and membership organisation; we have student leadership at every level.
We're a democratic, membership organisation and all students at the University of Creative Arts are automatically members of the Union. Overall legal responsibility for the Students' Union rests with our Board of Trustees which is made up of three full-time Sabbatical Officers, four student trustees and three external trustees. The Sabbatical officers are elected each year by, and from, the student membership of the university. They take a year out of their studies (or immediately after graduating) to take on a fulltime paid staff role and to serve as a trustee.
We have done a huge amount of work over the last 6 months to turn the organisation around to ensure it is wholly focussed on supporting our diverse membership who study at the three campuses. We have updated our staffing structure to have our expertise equally focussed on each campus and have also changed our sabbatical officer structure to do the same.
At UCA SU, we genuinely have creativity at our heart and are very excited to welcome a new CEO on Board who shares our values and passion for creativity.
We are currently carrying out detailed research into the needs of our membership, and we can’t wait for our new CEO to review this research with us to shape our new strategic direction.
If you’re passionate about students and student leadership, are creative, energetic, can understand the complexities of a multi campus site, and are a positive and motivational leader, we’d love to hear from you!
About the role
Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive is accountable for the performance, management, development and sustainability of UCA SU and responsible for developing and leading the Union's services, strategy and objectives to meet students’ needs.
The Chief Executive Officer of the University of UCA SU you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of student engagement at a renowned creative institution. With increased institutional support and renewed commitment to delivering a brilliant student experience, you'll spearhead a transformative new strategy for the Students' Union. Your vision and leadership will empower students, cultivate a vibrant and inclusive campus community, and ensure UCA SU is a beacon of excellence within the sector.
This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with passionate student leaders, a skilled staff team, and a supportive Board of Trustees. You'll foster a strong partnership with the University, ensuring the Students' Union is a vital and valued partner in enhancing the student journey across all campuses. With your strategic direction, operational acumen, and championing of student voices, you'll lead UCA SU into an exciting new era.
If you are an energetic and inspiring leader with a passion for empowering students and driving positive change, this is your chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of talented and creative individuals at the University for the Creative Arts.
The successful candidate won’t necessarily need to come from the Higher Education sector, but you must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the trends and issues that affect our students. You’ll have a good understanding of charity governance, financial management and organisational development.

Why Access Social Care Exists
Everyday millions of older and disabled people are denied the social care they need. Most local authorities can’t meet the growing demand for care, none are confident they can meet their legal duties in the future. This affects all of us, we will all need social care at some point.
We all have a right to hold public bodies to account. But most of us cannot afford lawyers so rely on legal aid. The 77% drop in community care legal aid cases since 2010 means we have nowhere to turn. Without access to justice, our rights do not exist. The rule of law is broken.

This is an exciting time to join ASC. We have a new strategy and are growing quickly. We have more than doubled in size and income since we started operating in April 2020 and we anticipate that this strong growth will continue going forward.

- Diagnose and troubleshoot technical issues related to hardware, software, and network systems.
- Manage our IT Ticketing systems in Monday
- Escalate complex problems to the appropriate IT support teams, both internally and externally.
- Maintain accurate records of helpdesk interactions, resolutions, and follow-up actions.
- Install, configure, and upgrade computer hardware and software as needed.
- Collaborate with team members to enhance IT systems and processes.
- Contribute to the development of user guides and knowledge base articles.
- Collaborate with the business support team to streamline IT hardware procurement processes and co-develop better working practices, maintain an equipment log, manage the refreshment of returned laptops, and oversee telephone service, reviewing contracts for efficiency and fit.
- Assist with helping to codesign the on/off boarding of new/leaving members of staff and help manage the resulting tasks including data protection actions.
- Assist with new software rollouts in both their configuration and in staff training.
- Help introduce new digital tools within the organisation and improve adoption and usage. This will involve matching needs and running pilots, change and embedding processes.
- Work with external providers to ensure a high quality of service is maintained in the organisation.
- Create and manage a set of standard guidelines for using our digital tools effectively, and devise ways to promote their use. Additionally, manage the training programme that support these tools adoption.

Cancer52
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
£65,000 - £70,000
Permanent, full-time
Remote with the ability to convene meetings and events in London and elsewhere
Cancer52 is a national organisation, created in 2007 by Professor Sir Mike Richards, CBE, then National Clinical Director for Cancer, and registered as a charity in England and Wales in September 2017.
We are an exceptional organisation, providing one voice for all those affected by rare and less common cancers. Historically, these cancers have been underrepresented and under-funded. Today, they represent 47% of people diagnosed with cancer, but 55% of all cancer deaths – a hidden majority. Cancer52’s aim is to change this by taking the collective voice of our members to those who influence cancer policy, research, services and treatment.
Cancer52 is recognised for its strong convening role, bringing together our 115 member charities with organisations in industry, government, the NHS and other stakeholders to address the inequalities faced by patients with rare and less common cancers. Our reputation is strong and we are in a unique position to provide a common voice for these underrepresented cancers. The figures for people with these cancers are challenging and there is much work to do.
After a hugely successful tenure during which Cancer52’s size and influence has grown dramatically, our current CEO is retiring from full time work in July. The Board of Trustees is now seeking to appoint a successor to build on the successes and achievements of recent years.
To be our next Chief Executive, you will be a talented leader, able to motivate and empower others and develop strong internal and external stakeholder relationships. You will also be an inspiring and authentic individual who is passionate, confident and engaging as the key spokesperson of the organisation and a representative of the diverse Cancer52 membership.
You will be capable of influencing decisions at senior levels of government, in the NHS and in partner organisations operating in the fields of cancer research, prevention, diagnosis and treatment. As our Chief Executive, your role is to be a key proponent of the campaigning and influencing drive of the charity, setting the overall strategy and vision for the organisation.
In addition to the core management competencies required, the role requires demonstrable leadership which will inspire others, along with a comprehensive understanding of Cancer52’s purpose and the problems faced by those charities and organisations representing the rare and less common cancer communities.
Effective networking will be a key skill set, and will enable you to actively seek out, engage and establish productive relationships with political decision makers, NHS leadership and charity CEOs to further our goals. Your approach will be collaborative, motivating stakeholders to engage with our work.
Success will be achieved through collective effort, but what will also be fundamental to the achievement of our ambitions will be funding. Going forward, and alongside our influencing work, you will be seeking out the funding opportunities that deliver a sustainable financial future and enable us to increase our impact.
Cancer52 is committed to creating an inclusive environment, promoting equality, valuing diversity, and combating unfair treatment in recruitment. We want to make sure that we always recruit the best person for the job in a way that is fair and equitable and demonstrates our commitment to valuing diversity at all stages of the recruitment process.
