Overview
If you are looking for a marketing and fundraising role where you can use your expertise to help to create significant positive changes in the world then this could be the role for you.
Ethical Goods is a consultancy with social purpose at its heart. We offer a range of services to help organisations develop innovative ideas that aim to change the world and we provide the people that can make these exciting initiatives happen. We help to find the funding and innovation for charities, social or planet focused enterprises. We also help organisations to get ready for philanthropic or commercial investment by investing our own team and funds to create world changing opportunities for people, planet and profit.
An example of one of our past innovations is VaccinAid in which we aimed to ‘Give the World a Shot’ by building a campaign around the concept of "vaccine gratitude" during the pandemic. We took our idea to one of our clients Crowdfunder and to a number of iNGOs as a potential partner. The world's largest vaccine delivery organisation, UNICEF jumped at the chance to be involved. This idea facilitated other partnerships including match funding from the Gates Foundation and growth from UNICEF UK to other parts of the UNICEF family. The creative agency Mother helped deliver an integrated creative campaign ensuring the appeal was visible in vaccine clinics across the UK, resulting in raising well over £10m. So if you like the idea of helping to create change on this scale, read on…
The Marketing and Fundraising Executive role will support across a wide variety of projects and activities. A fundamental part of the role will be to help with the marketing and communications of Ethical Goods, to generate awareness of our work and attract new business. The other part of the role will be working with our diverse client base on their own marketing, fundraising and partnerships activity.
This is an exciting first or second role for a person with some experience in marketing, communications, fundraising and / or account management, in either a voluntary or employee capacity. We are a small but dynamic team so you will be expected to get stuck in from day one, but you will also be given the opportunity to learn and develop your professional and personal skills, as well as be exposed to the huge network of remarkable people that we work with.
As the role is predominantly homebased you will need to be self-motivated and comfortable with conferencing technology such as Google Meet and Zoom for taking part in daily video meetings.
Travel to our shared workspace in London on a weekly basis is encouraged.
We’ve been a trusted partner of Alder Hey Children’s Charity since 2015 supporting a £30m capital raise for their new hospital and for their specialist anaesthetic equipment and resources ever since.
In 2018 we brokered their partnership with the Institute of Travel and Tourism which now supports Alder Hey in presenting their amazing work to the UK travel industry. These include topical issues of mental health, digital innovation, problem solving and wellbeing where the hospital provides expert insight to the travel industry, and the industry provides support and finance back to the charity.
Liverpool Airport is one of the many great examples of how this partnership has generated innovation in the medical space. The airport approached the hospital with an idea on how to improve the customer journey from front door to clinic tailored to each patient’s medical needs. By sharing their vast experience of transporting clients to and from the airport, they were able to help improve hospital efficiency and the quality of the journey for
every patient.
Support from the UK travel industry
Companies in the UK travel industry have supported the work of Alder Hey through staff fundraising, sponsorship events, speaking events, cause marketing, price round ups, foundation grants and practical help with staff and expertise.
