Are you looking for a role where the work you do makes a real difference to children's lives? If the answer is yes, our Data Selection Officer role could be exactly what you're looking for.

Join the Engagement & Fundraising directorate to make the difference 

At the NSPCC, we believe every childhood is worth fighting for. With over 100 years of experience, and the collective strength of our staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners, we're working to end child abuse and neglect for good.

Over 90 percent of the NSPCC's income comes from voluntary donations, so we reply on the incredible generosity and commitment of all our supporters, large and small.

You'll work as part of one of many teams across the UK, which focus on engaging our supporters and ensuring they continue to give their support.

We encourage everyone across the organisation to get involved, feel confident in championing our cause, and help us grow the support we need to protect children and give them the futures they deserve.

What is the purpose of the Data Selection Officer? 

You'll work as part of one of many teams across the UK, which focus on engaging our supporters and ensuring they continue to give their support.

In this role, you will be responsible for the build, testing, and deployment of all supporter journeys and campaigns across all channels. Your aim will be to put the supporters' needs first and build lasting relationships with all our supporters.

What will I be doing as a Data Selection Officer? 

This is a highly collaborative role. You will be:

  • Working closely with subject matter experts across the organisation to deliver hyper-personalised engaging content that is relevant and resonates with the individual
  • Acting as a technical expert, comfortable using HTML, email platforms and journey delivery tools
  • Taking in-depth concepts and technical issues and explain them clearly to a non-technical audience.

What skills do I need to be a Data Selection Officer? 

We are looking for someone with strong organisation, planning and communication skills, who can demonstrate:

  • Knowledge of data management and relational data structures
  • Experience of mailing selections and automated journey creation, with understanding of how data can be used to create dynamic content, journey logic, personalisation and reporting
  • Database experience, preferably within a large, multi-user environment
  • Strong understanding of data protection legislation

Why join the NSPCC?

Any one of our people will tell you that a huge reward in itself is making a difference to children's lives. But we know it's a competitive world, and it's important to feel valued in your role and receive more practical, tangible benefits. We offer salaries that are at least comparable with the top charities in the UK, as well as these benefits.

  • Generous annual leave- 29 days per annum plus bank holidays for full-time employees (pro-rata for part-time). 32 days per annum after five years' continuous service.
  • Employee discounts- Our discounts portal gives you online access to over 3,000 discounts and offers.
  • The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)- an independent, free, personal support service. It can provide information, support and advice to support your health and wellbeing.
  • Pension- building up a good pension is something we want to help you achieve with our flexible, tax-efficient pension schemes.
  • Life assurance scheme- All employees will be given life assurance of one times their salary, unless they join the NSPCC Group Personal Pension Scheme, where members are given life assurance of five times their salary.

Join us and make a difference. You'll grow, be challenged, and help change millions of young lives for the better.

We hope that you understand our position on this and that this will not discourage from applying.

Where no at-risk candidates meet the minimum essential criteria, all applications will be considered as normal.

Supporting Documents

As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.

At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.

NSPCC is that the NSPCC highly embraces,

encourages and promotes diversity and

inclusiveness of staff.
