Background
Medact organises with the health community to win a world in which everyone can truly achieve and exercise their human right to health. We cover some of the most pressing national and global threats to health and wellbeing including institutional racism, climate change, human rights abuses, violent conflict and rising inequality. We’re a member-led organisation, and our members are made up of a range of people who work in health including nurses, doctors, midwives and clinical researchers.
We take an organising-centred approach to our work. We build community power by working in solidarity with health workers and the communities experiencing harm from the unjust systems we challenge. We run national campaigns, use research to expose injustice and we support local organising groups across the country who lead most of our work.
Details
Salary: £30,501.83 at 0.8FTE (£38,127.28 full time equivalent) Note: We do not negotiate salaries, so please only apply if this is in line with your expectations.
Contract: 1 year fixed-term (parental leave cover)
Hours: 0.8 FTE – 28 hours per week
Location: Hybrid. Staff work remotely and from the Medact office in East London. London-based staff work in-person as a team one day per week, and staff based outside London come in at least once a month, with support for travel costs. Applications from outside London are encouraged.
Apply by: 9am, Monday 4th August
About the role
The Campaign & Programme Lead: Climate & Health supports health workers to campaign for just and proportionate action on climate change, working closely with our Movement Organiser and other colleagues. Currently our work focuses on the intersection of climate and housing, working to end the public health crisis of fuel poverty and poor-quality homes. In particular this role is responsible for national advocacy and campaigning on fuel poverty and housing, supporting members to organise in their local communities, and being a key part in the Homes for Health campaign team.
The role involves holding Medact’s key knowledge base on climate and health issues. You will build relationships across the health community and wider climate movement, from establishment institutions to frontline workers and grassroots groups.
About you
This is a skilled role but you don’t need to have had a job in an NGO before or be a professional campaigner to be right for it. You might have worked with your local community to campaign on a social justice or health issue that you care about. Or, you might be a health worker who has seen the impact of these issues on your patients and wants to challenge the systems that drive inequity and marginalisation.
You’ll have a strong understanding of power and how to work with others to create pressure for change. You need to be a great communicator, able to build trusting relationships with Medact members, academics, partner organisations and community groups. You’ll have an understanding of how digital communications compliment campaigning and an eye for a good media story.
Key dates
Applications close at 9am, Monday 4th August
Interviews will be Wednesday 20th August
If needed, second interviews will be in the week of 25th August
Our recruitment principles
Medact aims to be an inclusive and supportive employer, and we recognise that recruitment processes don’t work for everyone. We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in the NGO sector, and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We are particularly keen to receive applications from people of colour, people with disabilities, people who identify as being LGTBQIA+, people who have a mental health condition, and people who identify as working class or have a working class background. If you have any questions or uncertainties about this position and whether you are right for it, please do get in touch.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I have to be a health worker to apply? No, and Medact staff are not all health workers.
- Can you sponsor my visa? We are unable to offer sponsorship for individuals without the right to work in the UK.
- How flexible are the working hours? Medact has a Flexible Working Policy which supports staff to adjust their hours around our core working hours (11am–4pm), and can accommodate periods of working abroad / in different time zones, compressed hours and other configurations.
