Population Matters is looking for an experienced Senior Campaigner to play a key role in achieving our vision of a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and a healthy planet. 

The Senior Campaigner will be a role model and driver of success in our four-person Campaigns and Communications team. You will help shape our policies and strategy, but most important of all will relish the responsibility of delivering designated campaigns to a high professional standard, with support from the Head of Campaigns but a great deal of independence. This role requires at least three years’ campaigning experience, or similar, in the charity/NGO sector.

Population Matters has no central office - the role is home-based and, in line with our strategy of increasing Population Matters’ global reach, you may be based in any country. Flexibility in working hours can be negotiated for overseas candidates but you will be expected to regularly meet and work directly with colleagues during UK working hours. Being self-motivated, disciplined and able to work on your own initiative and virtually is therefore a key requirement for this role. Some travel may be required (expenses paid).

Your successful track record as a campaigner will show your in-depth understanding of the process of developing effective campaigns, and how to implement and adapt them in changing circumstances. You are adept at establishing and developing great stakeholder relationships, and confident in representing your organisation at events, at meetings and in the media.  You are sensitive to the challenges and opportunities of developing and managing relationships with individuals and organisations internationally. You also have the analytical and communication skills needed to bring our message home to audiences of all kinds, including the ability to write authoritative and impactful reports, lobbying material and other communications. 

Most importantly, you are passionate about protecting our planet, securing global justice, empowering people and communicating our positive message. You will be tackling challenging issues and obstacles, including institutional inertia, entrenched views, and sometimes suspicion of the population agenda. You will need to be flexible, creative, committed and dogged, and you’ll be working in a supportive, committed team where those skills will be shared and valued.

About Us

Population Matters (PM) is a UK-based charity working globally to achieve a sustainable future for people and planet. 

Our Vision is a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and prospers on a healthy planet, to the benefit of all.

Our Mission is to drive positive, large-scale action through fostering choices that help achieve a sustainable human population and regenerate our environment. 

Our Approach is to campaign, inform, lobby, undertake research and do all we can to encourage an open, fair-minded and constructive debate about population. We promote positive, practical, ethical solutions – encouraging smaller families, inspiring people to consume sustainably, with the aim of enabling everyone to enjoy a decent quality of life whilst respecting and sustaining the natural ecosystems upon which all life on earth depends.

We believe everyone should have the freedom and ability to choose a smaller family.  We support human rights, women’s empowerment and global justice.

OUR CURRENT CONTEXT

From three employees in 2016 to 10 in 2020, Population Matters has grown its team and ambitions significantly in the last few years. Our goal is ‘Take PM Global’ over the next 3-5 years, extending our reach and impact globally, strengthening existing partnerships and forging new ones, and influencing and effecting change through international policy forums and processes. In developing these new relationships and activities, we will be respectful, sensitive and willing to learn from our partners and other stakeholders. We will maintain a truly global perspective, whilst in parallel, we will continue to enable individuals and communities to make informed choices at the personal and grassroots level.

Join our campaigns team

We have a positive story to tell, and much to achieve. Growing human population is one of the most important drivers of our environmental crisis and in many parts of the world, is holding people back from leading the lives they deserve to lead. Alongside reckless and unsustainable consumption, the billions we’ve added to our numbers in the last few decades are punishing our planet. Multiple scientific studies and international reports repeatedly affirm that it must be tackled if we’re to contain environmental crises such as the climate emergency and the sixth mass extinction. Meanwhile, from poverty to patriarchy, population is inextricably linked with some of our gravest economic and social global justice issues.

The good news is that the solutions are all positive:

• Eradicate poverty and inequality
• Empower women and girls
• Provide a proper education for all
• Ensure everyone is free and able to use modern family planning
• Promote the benefits of smaller families

Population is far from the only driver of our current environmental crisis, and Population Matters supports multiple solutions to address it. Our role, however, is to highlight this one, and help it assume its proper place on the policy agenda. We are not just the only registered charity addressing this issue in the UK, we are the largest and most effective campaigning organisation on population internationally.

Leveraging scientific consensus and public concern to achieve change is our challenge, and our opportunity. We need an ambitious, capable and brave campaigner, willing to tackle inertia, misunderstanding and prejudice, forge positive relationships with friends and allies, and find effective ways of promoting the effective, ethical solutions that will empower people, improve lives, protect our planet and help achieve global justice.

About Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK:

Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice is a newly formed not-for-profit organisation working to provide a voice for families bereaved by Covid-19. We have more than 2,000 members who are all personally bereaved and at the heart of everything we do. We’re campaigning for a statutory public inquiry into the Government’s handling of the pandemic so that families can get answers and lessons can be learnt to prevent further loss of life. Alongside our campaign to secure an inquiry, we are also campaigning for improved bereavement support for families and to ensure that those bereaved are protected from hardship.

As a group of volunteers we've already produced agenda-setting front page news stories, garnered support from hundreds of thousands of people, given oral testimony to influential parliamentary committees, held high-level political meetings and been discussed by the Prime Minister in Parliament. Now we’re recruiting paid staff to take the campaign to the next level.
