Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity provide specialist nurses and support for seriously ill children. We have a simple message to communicate but are an ambitious organisation looking to grow and deliver our vital programmes for seriously ill children and their families. This communications role is so important in creating an increase in our brand recognition to the general public and also in the world of the NHS and healthcare. This is a wide-ranging role that will work across all areas of the organisation.

OVERALL JOB PURPOSE

We are looking for an inventive, passionate and tenacious Communications and Marketing Manager who can lead on the continual development of our marketing and communications strategy. The overall purpose is to help more children with serious illness by delivering strong communications, effective PR, and clear brand messaging tied into the organisations overall mission and vision. We want someone who shares our core values of being child focussed, kind, empowering, resourceful and sparky, who can live by the ethos of who Roald Dahl was and what he is delivering through his legacy.

The role’s main task is to have a clear overall communications, brand and marketing strategy and that we deliver and evolve that strategy. The role also needs to ensure that clear messaging is set for the organisation, that our audiences are imbedded in all our work, that we deliver very high standards on creative and that we maximise our PR value working closely with all our stakeholders.

Our organisation has taken steps forward in the last two years to position itself as an independent children’s healthcare charity that does not need to rely on the Roald Dahl stories or characters to gain cut through. We use stories of our beneficiaries and Roald Dahl Nurses to showcase who we are, what we do and why people should support us.
