Campaigns support assistant jobs

NUS is on the lookout for an experienced organiser and campaigner who can help us build a bold and powerful student movement, defending students’ rights and fighting for an education system that works for everyone.

The student movement in the UK is made up of 443 students’ unions and nearly 4 million students. NUS sits at the heart of this movement, delivering a national student voice demanding academic, economic and social justice. We want someone to make this voice louder, building student power and transforming society.

We’re a small team focused on delivering big campaigns, online and on the ground. You’ll be working in a campaign team with colleagues focused on digital strategy and public affairs – so it will be up to you to bring your best organising game to get our member students’ unions and students on board with our work and build a powerful movement.

We don’t expect you to turn up as an expert at everything – but you absolutely do need to get a buzz from learning from our member students’ unions and elected student leaders as you go out and bring them on board with our work! If you’re working at your best when you’re setting out a strategy, trying new things and learning from your experiences, you’ll fit right in.

You’ll be committed to the idea that, as a union, we’re stronger together and understand that campaigning alongside our members is central to our success. Whether it’s policy makers, students’ unions or activist groups, you’ll know how to create and leverage relationships with key stakeholders to set the agenda and deliver collective wins.

Our new campaigning strategy centres digital mobilisation combined with deep, transformational organising so that we can build and sustain high participation in our campaigns. Working with elected student leaders you’ll play a key role in driving home this shift in campaign practice across the movement from students’ unions to the grassroots.

Why apply?

Anti-oppression is central to our mission. Education isn’t working unless it’s working for everyone in our society. We’re trans inclusive without exception. And we welcome individuals who are up for taking active responsibility for their own ongoing learning on liberation, equity and social justice.

We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, or disability.?

Overview and Summary:

We are seeking to appoint a part-time Campaign Officer (0.8 FTE) on a 12-month contract – a crucial role for our more than 60-strong coalition during a vital period for our work. 

We’re in the middle of a steadily building campaign that spans political advocacy, public communications and engagement with businesses, targeted towards ensuring the introduction of what our coalition calls a UK ‘Business, Human Rights and Environment Act’. This role will play a central role in shaping and driving forward the campaign, working alongside our civil society group partners to do so.

We are a broad coalition, including NGOs, trade unions and law firms, and spanning a range of political and thematic priorities, spanning workers’ rights and modern slavery, to climate and the environment, global justice and the rights of women and girls, children and indigenous peoples. But what brings us together is a shared commitment to improving corporate accountability for human rights abuses and environmental destruction: in line with this, collaborative work for change alongside our partners is at the heart of all we do.

While it’s fundamental that you have a minimum of two years’ experience of working in campaigns/the not-for-profit sector, and we want you to be a skilled writer, we’re keen to hear from candidates with different skill sets. If you’d like to have a chat about the role ahead of applying, please do feel free to get in touch with.

Please note, applicants must hold the right to work in the UK to be considered for this role.

CJC is an equal opportunities employer committed to refining anti-oppressive practises in its work. We particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in the business and human rights sector. 

What we’re looking for

First and foremost, we’re looking for someone who is highly motivated and has a real commitment  to campaign for change on corporate accountability for human rights abuses.  You’ll be enthusiastic and full of ideas, able to juggle multiple deadlines and tasks, while being ready to show initiative and take ownership of your area of work. 

You don’t need to be a policy expert on our issues, but you’ll need to have the ability to rapidly gain an understanding of what we work on and why. And you’ll need to be a confident and skilled writer who’s equally happy writing tweets, drafting scripts for social media videos and writing press releases and comment/analysis for media outlets.

Facilitating joint work alongside our coalition partners is fundamental to everything we do, so we’re looking for someone who already has experience of working in the not-for-profit sector - whether in the UK charity sector or elsewhere - and who will be at ease regularly communicating with other organisations and facilitating meetings which can have multiple  organisations in attendance.

Our work spans engagement with politicians, the public, journalists, academics, lawyers and businesses. So you’ll need to be adaptable and able to work with such a wide variety of stakeholders.

You will be the main point of contact for our partner organisations working on this campaign, so it’s crucial that you’re comfortable with and enjoy collaborative work with others. We need someone who recognises and understands the value of civil society groups working together effectively, and relishes the opportunity of being a key enabler of such coalition work.

This is a crucial, very busy, outward-facing role in a small organisation seeking to make big changes. The role offers a huge opportunity to play a key role in a growing campaign with the potential to secure a meaningful change in UK legislation.

Please see attachment for more details.

We are looking for a temporary but enthusiastic community activism organiser to join the Friends of the Earth Cymru team at a very exciting time to cover a period of staff sabbatical. The role will support communities to campaign for environmental change and climate justice.  You will also help grow an active grassroots movement with a particular emphasis on supporting communities right across Wales and those disproportionately impacted by climate change and environmental justice issues.  Although based in Wales you will also be expected to work with other related teams across Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland and share local to global stories of solidarity.

Key Skills and Attributes: 

You must be able to listen to, engage with and support communities in their local campaigns as well as joining up issues to effect Wales-wide change. You will have experience of working or campaigning at grassroots level, managing complex relationships and working with diverse communities of people.

In a climate and ecological emergency business as usual is no longer an option so you must be able to demonstrate an understanding of transformational change as well as the need for local and grassroots action.

We are looking for a confident communicator with a knowledge of working with communities both in person and online.  You will be able to design and deliver support for grassroots networks. You will be flexible enough to juggle the demands of a multi-campaign organisation as well as responding rapidly and effectively to changing external circumstances.

You will be working directly with groups and activists and this will sometimes require evening and weekend work.

The team: 

The Friends of the Earth Cymru team campaigns on a range of environmental threats – from the climate and nature crises to transport, clean air, fossil fuels and behaviour change. We also support communities on the issues that are important to them. As well as community activity we use our collective influence to make transformational change and strategic interventions at local and Welsh government level.
