Our client is open to secondments from unions or progressive organisations.

Our client is dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow, and develop through Education. As an independent funder, the charity generates income from its endowment, which includes substantial property holdings and financial investments. This means it does not fund raise. To date, the organisation has awarded over £225 million in grants to a range of organisations that seek to promote the life chances of children and young people through Education, with around £15 million in grants distributed each year. The Charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 (or up to 30 for people with special educational needs and/or disabilities) who live within nine Boroughs in West, Central and North London.

We are delighted to be working with the Charity to recruit a permanent Communications & Social Media Officer to join its established team based at conveniently located offices in Central London.

This newly created position will expand the capacity of the organisation's communications team, supporting the Communications, PR & Events Manager in delivering engaging, high-impact external communications.

It will entail preparing and delivering innovative and compelling content in both written, visual and video production formats, which showcase the work of the Charity and its network of grantees. Using the latest platforms and technology such as Canva and InDesign, this role will help tell the important stories which emanate from the work of the charity, including publicising events, raising awareness and addressing interesting themes relevant to the work of the Charity and its community.

This role will also monitor and evaluate online engagement and will ensure there is a vibrant, creative and relevant tone across all platforms and mediums. They will also contribute to maintaining the website and newsletter, gathering stories from across the Charity’s networks and ensuring it is accessible and up to date with current affairs and events. Working closely with the Communications, Events and PR Manager, this person will be responsible for identifying opportunities to repurpose and amplify content across multiple channels to ensure the Charity’s media presence is maintained and enhanced both on a local, London wide and National basis.

The person:

The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in a similar social media or digital communications role, ideally within the charity or not-for-profit sector but equally having come from a commercial setting, where an active interest in charitable work can be clearly evidenced.

The desire to learn new skills will be strongly evident in this person, they will relish the thought of collaborating with colleagues to grow their expertise and to share ideas on how to optimise delivery across the digital and social media space. Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail, this person will be a strategic thinker with the ability to plan ahead and to spot opportunities further down the line to maximise the impact and reach of charity’s work. A working knowledge of WordPress and website management will be very useful but not essential.

Above all, this person will be an enthusiastic, ambitious and collaborative team player, who thrives in an office-based environment where they will be able to exchange ideas with other team members, celebrate success and ensure the overall charitable aims of the organisation and its community of grantees are met.

“We highly encourage applications from under-represented groups that reflect the diversity of our Charity’s Beneficial Area and the young people we aim to support.

Tinnitus UK is the UK’s only charity dedicated to tinnitus.

We want to see a world without tinnitus and have just launched an ambitious new 10-year plan setting out what we are going to do about finding cures and preventing people from getting tinnitus, where it is avoidable.

Today though, there are nearly 8 million people in the UK with tinnitus, with well over 1 million of them in or near crisis point. Whilst the majority of people end up being able to live well with tinnitus, the journey can be long, arduous and isolating with periods of significant impact. Care and support for people with tinnitus needs to improve and that’s one of the most important drivers of our new plan.

We are looking for a talented, creative and dedicated marketing professional to join our small but powerful team to help us deliver our new plan.

If you have experience of direct marketing and are looking for a busy, challenging, but rewarding role where you get to see the impact of your work on improving the lives of people with tinnitus, please get in touch.

This role is based in Sheffield and although we’re happy to discuss flexible/hybrid working, we would expect the majority of your time to be in the office with the team.

We will be actively recruiting so please apply as soon as you can. If you would like to find out more about the role, we would be happy to arrange an informal call.
