£80,000 on a full-time, permanent basis
With a 65-year history of transformative change, we are a vibrant community of volunteers, practitioners, peer supporters, members and advocates. We are the largest parenting charity in the country and over the decades we’ve supported millions of people on their unique journey into parenthood.
While many know us for our antenatal classes, we also do much more. We campaign on issues that matter to parents, provide infant feeding support, and run thousands of free community events and activities led by our amazing volunteers. We also support families facing challenges like social isolation, feeding difficulties, and poor mental health. We offer support in communities, in hospitals and online.
NCT is committed to social justice and equity. We are dedicated to being an anti-racist charity and believe that inclusion is everyone’s responsibility. Being there for every parent requires bold action to challenge inequalities. By creating inclusive spaces and services that are built on collaboration and trust, we welcome and celebrate diversity and strive to meet the needs of the pregnant women, new parents, families and communities that we serve.
THE ROLE
As our new Director of Marketing and Engagement, you will have a central role to play in achieving our ambitions, as a member of our Senior Leadership Team. We’re looking for an experienced marketing and communications leader with high emotional intelligence and an inclusive approach who can quickly establish credibility and lead our communications, engagement, marketing, brand, content, media, public affairs, campaigns and policy. You will bring a successful track record of shaping and implementing an integrated marcomms strategy in a complex stakeholder and consumer environment, with the ability to lead a talented multidisciplinary team.
This role presents an exciting opportunity to join an ambitious and high performing executive team at a point of change and growth, and to shape the future of NCT together. As we approach the midpoint of our current 2023 – 2028 For Every Parent strategy, you will take our newly refreshed brand into creative implementation to ensure our brand values, narrative and promise come to life in every one of our NCT people, services, events, classes, groups and touch points, building a strong team of brand ambassadors across our community and beyond.
We are committed to building a diverse workforce and leadership group and are taking positive action to increase diversity throughout our charity, at all levels, and to nurture a culture of inclusion for all our people and the parents and families that we support. We welcome applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.
