Local Campaigns Manager

Are you an experienced campaigner with a proven track record of awareness raising in local communities? Can you influence and inform professionals on how to respond to child abuse and neglect? If the answer is “Yes, yes, yes” we want to hear from you.

The role is with a charity whose mission is to prevent cruelty to children in the UK. They’re leading the fight against child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands and believe that every childhood is worth fighting for.

Position: Local Campaigns Manager

Salary: £36,243 - £42,639 plus £500 home working allowance

Location: Remote within the East of England

Vacancy Type: Permanent

Working Hours Per Week: Full time (35 hours)

Closing Date: 26 June 2022

The Role:

As part of the charity’s commitment to work towards ending cruelty, the Services Directorate creates a one-stop shop for all adults and professionals through which they can both access and receive advice support and safeguarding information and feel confident that by contacting the charity to discuss concerns about individual children action will be taken to protect that child.

The Local Campaigns team aims to raise awareness of the nature, extent, and impact of child abuse and the response to it with all audiences. This may be through a locally developed campaign with partner organisations or a national campaign that is delivered at a local level.

It’s vital that national campaigns are informed by and tested with audiences that they seek to reach and influence. An example of this is the Look, Say, Sing, Play, campaign that both the national and local campaigns team collaborated on to develop, test and roll out.

The team’s ability and flexibility to be able to respond to local safeguarding needs is a real strength and facet of the work that’s particularly welcomed by statutory and voluntary partners, local funders and communities alike. Local campaigns have a strong focus on awareness raising and behaviour change and again, are always delivered in partnership.

As Local Campaigns Manager, you will lead a number of projects to develop local campaigning work with new innovative and targeted activities to reach out, engage and communicate with adults, children and young people, and professional audiences to influence the general public, parents, young people and professional networks.
