About the role
London Funders is looking for a Communications and Learning Coordinator to provide high-quality communications activity to our cross-sector network of members, promote our learning programme and engage with a range of audiences to help us achieve change. We need someone who is a strong communicator, who is highly organised, and who can apply their range of written, digital and verbal communication skills to help us achieve the change that’s needed for Londoners.
Our ideal candidate will have experience of communicating with different audiences using a range of formats and channels. We’re looking for someone who thrives working as part of a small team as well as working independently, who will suggest solutions to challenges and use their initiative.
We're proud of the diversity and vibrancy of our city, and work to champion equity and justice in all that we do. We are actively working to make sure we reflect our community in our staff team, and are particularly welcoming of applicants from Black and racially minoritised communities, and from people with disabilities, to help strengthen the diversity of thought and experience in our team.
What can we offer?
We are a small organisation with big ambitions. And we can’t achieve those without our staff team. That’s why we work hard to create a positive work environment for all employees, where everybody can learn, thrive and deliver their best.
We believe a staff culture which values inclusion, equity and wellbeing helps to creates a stronger, healthier and more productive team. We offer enhanced flexible working (at the moment we’re all working 60% of our hours in the office) and are currently mid way through trialling new ways of working. This shows our commitment to creating a culture that encourages wellbeing and personal growth, but still gives us the time to get the job done as effectively as possible. You can read more about what’s it like to work for us here.
Whilst we are a small team, we share an office with our friends at Trust for London. There is flexibility about the hours for this role, so it would be available on a part-time or full-time basis (with a minimum of 21 hours per week). The skills, experience, insights and inspiration you will bring to the role are more important to us, so we'll do what we can to accommodate your preferred working pattern.
The salary is £26,000 – £27,000 per year (or pro rata if you choose part-time). From the first day of employment, you will be entitled to Health Cover and Life Insurance as part of our staff benefits package. On completion of your probation period, you’ll also be able to access our other employee benefits including our Cycle2Work scheme, and, mobile months together with volunteering days and a generous annual leave allowance. We also offer a generous pension scheme (employer’s contribution of up to 10% of your salary). You can read more about our benefits here.
