Day to day tasks could include:

  • Providing feedback on charity communications assets and plans – including TV ads, written content or fundraising activities.
  • Checking that appeal communications partners – like news publishers, celebrities or media outlets – are well placed to support the charity and do not pose any reputational risks.
  • Providing administrative support to the running of the programme – including gathering reporting statistics and data.
  • Answering emails and calls from charities, being a point of contact to provide support and answer questions.

Support and training:
Whether this is your first professional role, or you have some previous experience, all training will be provided. With the help of the kickstart scheme we will be investing in your future, ensuring we provide you with learning opportunities and support for future employment.

You will be working closely with the communications and marketing team so they will support and train you in the specific skills you’ll need to do the job.

Depending on your specific interests and skills, you could learn:

  • The basics of what makes a successful fundraising and communications appeal.
  • An understanding of what makes effective, strong content and the different ways charities can engage the public.
  • More about the social impact and international development space through observing how this programme and the wider business is run.

To thrive in this role you’ll have:

  • An interest in development communications or fundraising
  • An eye for detail and good copy-writing skills so that you can help to spot content that does not comply with the guidelines and help suggest alternatives.
  • Good organisation and level headedness when dealing with multiple tasks or requests.

The role will be part time, 25 hours per week. The Social Change Agency are open to discussing a flexible working pattern and are happy to accommodate what suits the individual. Their core hours are 10-4pm.

Wage: £11.05 per hour (London Living Wage)
