Work for World Vision UK and you will be part of a truly global Partnership, building brighter futures for vulnerable children.

Every sponsored child\’s journey is unique and made possible by one generous person stepping forward to sponsor/support them. And that\’s where you come in.

As an Individual Giving Officer at World Vision UK, you\’ll support the development, production, delivery and reporting for our acquisition campaigns, which are created to inspire audiences to sponsor a child or donate to World Vision.

You\’ll be target and results driven, analysing what works and what doesn\’t, working to optimise campaigns.

What a day could look like –

Morning: Contribute to a creative proposition workshop.

Afternoon: Get into the data – what campaigns are working, which creatives which channels, how many new sponsors is each driving.

In Between : Raising Purchase Orders, Ad copy checking and content gathering.

In return, we offer good benefits including:

• A flexible and supportive working culture

• Pension scheme (with employer contributions)

• Generous holiday allowance
