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.

While primarily a leadership role, this position also requires hands-on expertise in either producing/directing or video editing/post-production (ideally both).

• 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.

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.

Key responsibilities

• Delivery of the specific fundraising activity delegated to this role to grow income year on year (individuals, community, corporate, legacies, events), supported by the work of freelancers.

• Ensure excellence in donor stewardship that helps retain, grow and diversify support from existing donors.

• Act as Secretary to the Board; including statutory filing, coordinating quarterly meetings and taking minutes, compiling/circulating Board papers, diarising other meetings and communication as needed.
• Represent the charity externally with diverse stakeholders.
• Responsible for the effective management and leadership of the public fundraising and operations team.

We are looking to recruit an experienced individual with a strong background in operations and office management, financial management, human resources, and some experience of communications to play a central role within our small but dynamic team. The role focuses on developing and overseeing the smooth running of our internal systems and processes, ensuring financial, legal and regulatory compliance, developing and managing a database to monitor the implementation of our strategic plan, and managing risk.

If you are committed to ensuring that those with lived experience of trafficking / modern slavery are able to work within the advice sector, have an interest in/experience of co-production and want to have a significant impact by helping ATLEU to deliver this project we would love to hear from you.

About Children Change Colombia

Children Change Colombia is a UK registered charity with 33 years' experience in defending children's rights in Colombia. Today we are the UK's largest charity working exclusively in Colombia. We work with children whose rights to a safe, happy childhood, and a fulfilling future, are threatened by poverty, inequality and violence. We work with the children most at risk, to keep them safe and defend their rights in the long term, to tackle neglected issues that few others address and to strengthen children's organisations.

Through local partnerships, we currently work on three neglected issues:
