Are you an experienced campaigner? Have you 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 NSPCC is wishing to appoint the post of Local Campaign Manager for the North East, Yorkshire and Humber region. We want to reach into local communities in order to influence the general public, parents, young people and professional networks. To this end, you will lead a number of projects.
As an expert in shaping and delivering local and community based campaigns, covering such issues as encouraging public and professional responses to child neglect, consulting parents on how they respond to child sexual abuse, or working with a local agency on raising awareness of child sexual exploitation, you will need to know about child protection policies and procedures.
We are looking for someone who is highly organised and solution focussed. As a team player, you will work in partnership with both local NSPCC services and other locally based organisations. You are someone who is proactive, persistent, and thrives on managing a varied and busy workload; you will be happy to work right across the region and outside of your locality on occasions. You will be willing to travel.
The postholder will work from home and live in or near to the North East, Yorkshire and Humber region.
