About us
NCT is the national charity for pregnancy, birth, infant feeding and early parenthood. Our vision is simple: a society where everyone who becomes a parent feels confident, connected and safe. Through our For Every Parent strategy, we're working to make that vision a reality. We support parents with trusted information, practical help, local communities and a stronger voice in the issues that matter to families.
For 70 years, we've been by parents' sides through the excitement, uncertainty, wonder and challenges of becoming a parent. Today, our volunteers contribute more than 70,000 hours of community service each year, helping parents build friendships, find support and feel less alone. We educate and empower parents with evidence-based information and support. We advocate and act by listening to parents' experiences, raising their voices and campaigning for change. No judgement. No exceptions.
About the role
We're looking for a Content & Social Media Manager to lead NCT’s content production and social media activity, helping us connect with new and expectant parents through engaging, audience-focused content across our wide range of channels.
You'll be comfortable leading the Content Studio and developing high-quality content across video, email, web and other assets, while also taking ownership to manage NCT's social media channels, building engagement and identifying opportunities to jump on trends.
Working closely with colleagues across Marketing, Communications and Fundraising & Strategic Partnerships, you'll help bring marketing campaigns to life, support income-generating partnership activity and strengthen NCT's brand to ensure parents continue to see us as a trusted source of support throughout pregnancy and early parenthood.
You’ll work alongside and coach a Content & Social Media Officer, and enjoy blending hands-on delivery with strategic thinking. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment where one day you might be developing assets and writing copy for a major campaign launch in a few weeks, and the next you’ll be producing social-first content reacting to a political announcement that day.

You'll enjoy working at pace, balancing BAU activity with reactive comms, and using data and insight to continually improve your work.
We're looking for someone who is creative, proactive and collaborative, with excellent attention to detail and a passion for our sector. You'll be excited by the opportunity to take ownership of a role that combines two of your passions, with the autonomy to shape, deliver and continuously improve NCT's marketing.
