Jubilee Debt Campaign is recruiting a Senior Community Organiser to organise with communities across the UK as part of our household debt campaign.

Personal debt has reached its highest ever level in the UK – a staggering £217bn. Low wages, insecure work and welfare cuts are pushing more and more people to rely on debt just to cover basic needs, and lack of effective regulation means borrowers are being charged punishing interest rates by rip-off lenders. The household debt crisis is driving poverty and mental health problems, harming people and families across the country. This must change, and we believe the most effective way to address the problem is by building the power of people who are affected.

This exciting new role is focused on organising and supporting people affected by the growing issue of problem debt, and campaigning for change.

If you are committed to building the power of those most affected by injustice, to working collaboratively as part of a small team, and to bringing together the best of organising and campaigning know-how then this is the role for you.

We strongly value diversity and welcome applications from applicants from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from people with a Black, Asian or minority ethnic (BAME) background.
