The Bevan Foundation is seeking a Head of Communications and Marketing
The Bevan Foundation is Wales's most influential think tank. We create insights, ideas and impact that help to end poverty and inequality. Over recent years the Foundation has helped secure real and lasting change for people across Wales, from universal free school meals for primary pupils to increases in Education Maintenance Allowance. We’ve built a reputation for trusted, evidence-based insights and ideas that influence decision-makers and improve lives.
About the role
The Bevan Foundation has an exciting opportunity for an individual to lead its communications and marketing work and make a real difference within a small team. You’ll be responsible for all aspects of communications and marketing, from providing strategic direction to our communications and marketing work, to writing copy and managing our social media accounts. Your marketing skills will play a key role in generating income for the Foundation, through a mix of donations and commercial activity. You will work across the Bevan Foundation team as well as having line management responsibilities for the other member of the communications and marketing team.
About you
We’re looking for an outstanding communicator and marketer with experience of delivering complex messages persuasively, a proven track record of raising income, and coming up with great ideas. You’ll build great relationships with people from all walks of life, and care about our vision and share our values.
Key terms
- This is a fixed-term maternity cover position for an anticipated period of 13 months.
- The current post holder works 37.5 hours a week. The Foundation may consider appointing someone on a part-time basis subject to discussions at interview.
- The full-time equivalent salary for this post is £40,402 - £46,341. The expectation is that the candidate would normally be appointed at the bottom of the scale.
- We work in a hybrid way, with staff expected to be office-based for two to three days a week and to attend monthly in-person team meetings. The Foundation’s offices are in Merthyr Tydfil. We are also open to discussing remote working within Wales for the right candidate.
- We would also welcome applications from individuals seeking a secondment opportunity, subject to agreement from their current employer.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
