Job Details

We fund amazing people to learn from the world and transform lives across the UK. We're looking for an outstanding creative to help our expanding communications at an exciting moment.

The Churchill Fellowship funds inspiring individuals to travel the world in search of solutions for today’s most pressing problems.

Our Fellows research the UK’s key challenges – marine pollution, gang crime, food poverty, homelessness and more. They come back with new ideas to make change happen in their professions and communities, transforming lives in every area of society. 

We are well-established, prestigious and ready to grow our profile. This is a new post in a small and busy team. Joining at a time of innovation and change, it is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in an evolving area.

As Content Editor, you will help to define a new content strategy across all channels. You will manage our website and social media, commission blogs and podcasts, write and edit articles, and develop our use of photos and film.

Working closely with the Communications Director, you will be central to three landmark projects in the year ahead: rebranding the charity, rebuilding the website and launching a new engagement strategy. 

The ideal candidate will be experienced at managing a powerful content strategy, skilled at writing sparkling copy, and comfortable with growing our digital marketing. Above all, you will be passionate about finding and telling great stories in words and images. 

We have a wealth of amazing stories based on hundreds of Fellows’ achievements – and we need you to tell the world. If you’re an ‘ideas person’ with creative flair and a social conscience, we’d like to hear from you.

To apply, please click 'APPLY' and download the application pack from our website. Deadline 5pm on 18 November 2019. Interviews on 28 and 29 November.

What we do

"The most far-reaching, visionary initiative I've ever heard of."
- Jenny Kendall-Tobias, BBC


The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust runs the Churchill Fellowships, a unique programme of overseas research grants. These support UK citizens from all parts of society to travel the world in search of innovative solutions for today’s most pressing problems.

Every year we award 150 Fellowships. These fund outstanding individuals to travel for 4-8 weeks, anywhere in the world, researching a topic of their choice among global leaders in their field. On their return, we help them to share their global learning with professions and communities across the UK.

These are not academic research grants. They are practical inquiries into real-world issues that the Fellows have encountered in their daily lives. They cover eight universal themes in society: Arts and culture, Community and citizenship, Economy and enterprise, Education and skills, Environment and resources, Health and wellbeing, Governance and public provision, Science and technology.

Any UK adult citizen can apply, regardless of qualifications, age or background. They are chosen not for their past achievements, but for the power of their ideas and their potential to be change-makers.

The Fellowship was created by public subscription in 1965 as the living legacy of Sir Winston Churchill. Since then we have made over 5,500 grants to inspiring individuals who possess the passion and commitment to make a real difference. For many, it has been a life-changing opportunity.

At the heart of all this is a simple but enduring concept. We are empowering individuals to learn from the world, for the benefit of the UK. Today this idea is more valuable than ever.
