Campaigner jobs
Imagine working alongside young people who've challenged Meta's hate speech policies, won national awards, and brought a sofa on wheels to a protest. Coventry Youth Activists (CYA) is the UK's only youth-led campaign group run by and for disabled young people—70% of members have learning disabilities—and they need a Community Organiser to help them take on one of their biggest fights yet: defending SEND rights.
This isn't traditional charity work. CYA doesn't lobby for disabled young people—they campaign as them. From Mad Hatter's Tea Parties outside Facebook HQ to high-level negotiations with decision-makers, their approach is bold, creative, and effective. As one member puts it: "Leadership doesn't have to look a certain way... That's what we do at CYA."
What you'll be doing
You'll support CYA members to challenge urgent threats to their rights—particularly government reforms affecting SEND (Special Educational Need and Disability) rights. This means:
- Developing campaign strategies and power mapping decision-makers with young activists
- Facilitating actions, media engagement, and high-level negotiations
- Coaching young leaders and building their confidence to take the lead
- Creating alliances and expanding CYA's reach and influence
- Ensuring everything is accessible, inclusive, and driven by lived experience
You won't be doing this alone. You'll be part of Grapevine, an award-winning charity with years of community organising expertise, working within a supportive team that believes in joyful organising.
Who we're looking for
We want someone with proven campaigning experience and strong facilitation skills—but just as importantly, someone with creativity, a passion for justice, and the ability to work inclusively with young people with learning disabilities.
Essential skills and experience:
- At least one year's community organising or campaigning experience with clear evidence of wins
- Ability to work collaboratively and inclusively, especially with people who have learning disabilities
- Strong facilitation and communication skills
- Experience building alliances and developing others
- Creative problem-solving and a genuine passion for justice
Benefits include:
- Flexible working arrangements
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata)
- 8% non-contributory pension (Grapevine pays the full amount)
- Employee Assistance Programme
- A culture of learning, reflection, and genuine support
Grapevine is a place where you'll have freedom with support, real opportunities to grow, and work that creates lasting impact. Our team describe it as a "powerhouse" that feels like a second home.
About Grapevine
We're an award-winning charity helping communities across Coventry and Warwickshire take collective action. We're nationally recognised for our community organising approach and we're accredited trainers for the National Community Organisers programme. We believe those who face challenges are best positioned to lead solutions—and we provide the support to make that happen.
"Grapevine is a fantastic organisation—bold, innovative and caring. It manages to balance positive outcomes for individuals and communities with system change—a very rare thing." — Tim, Community Leader
Equality and Inclusion
Fairness and inclusion are part of who we are—going back to our origins as a disability charity. We actively seek people from all backgrounds and AIM TO remove barriers to equal opportunity. We welcome applications from everyone.
Strengthening people, sparking community and shifting power in Coventry and beyond

Green New Deal Rising is looking for a creative and strategic Campaigner to deliver bold, people-powered campaigns that shift the political agenda and to help bridge our movement with decision-makers through parliamentary organising.
Green New Deal Rising is building a movement of young people from every part of the UK to fight for a response to the climate crisis that transforms our economy to deliver a safe climate and a fairer society. We believe in people power, and through a combination of disrupting the political system and organising in our communities, we are working to make the Green New Deal an era-defining political demand.
In our small, agile staff team, you'll own real responsibility early, contribute to shaping our direction, and watch your work make an immediate impact.
As part of our multi-year strategy, we have ambitious plans to mobilise young people, disrupt politics, and force this government, and those that follow, to deliver transformative change. Campaigning will be central to this: shaping the narrative, escalating pressure, and converting people power into political concessions.
You will design and deliver impactful campaign interventions, both on the ground and digitally, and support our movement to do the same. You will be a creative thinker with strong written communication skills, good political judgement, and a desire to get our demands into the news cycle and onto the political agenda.
Alongside general campaigning work, you will play a key role in parliamentary organising: supporting advocacy with MPs, helping integrate political champions into our campaigns, and ensuring our campaigning activity creates meaningful pressure inside and outside Westminster.
This role sits within the Campaigns team and will be managed by our Senior Campaigner.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
