About us
We are a charity dedicated to ensuring that people most impacted by injustice are leading campaigns that affect their lives, from better housing to fairer treatment of migrants to LGBTQ+ rights. Our mission is to support people to run effective campaigns that challenge injustice. We do this by running campaign training programmes that help people develop the skills, confidence and community to change things that matter to them. In our trainings, we prioritise people from communities directly impacted by injustice.
Participants might be low-income, working-class people, people of colour, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
Our graduates testify before Parliament, organise national demonstrations, change laws and wage important, successful campaigns. They are from diverse and marginalised communities and our evaluation shows that they are developing confidence in their ability to affect change and are making meaningful ‘wins’ towards achieving their aims on a broad range of issues such as; violence in a community, access to public space, fairness in the asylum system, and women’s inclusion and safety in leisure centres.

About the job
We are seeking a Logistics Coordinator who will help us set up and deliver our learning programme for campaigners and trainers. These programmes will be residential, online, community-based and event-based. They will be delivered to individual campaigners, community groups, charitable partner clients. The Logistics Coordinator role is a varied position that gives you an opportunity to work in lots of different ways. Each day is different in this role. One day you could be creating social media materials to recruit new people to our trainings, the next, you could be coordinating venues, catering and transportation for a residential training, or talking to a participant about their access needs and how we can best accommodate them.

Your role is to help ensure that all our participants have a great experience of our learning programmes by recruiting people to our programmes and then making sure that all of their technical, logistical and access needs are met. We are looking for someone who can think creatively about how to best support people (Would it help for people to have a guide explaining how to use Zoom? How can we reach people who have been in the care system to let them know that there is a scholarship available for them to attend our residential?) and someone who has rigorous attention to detail, for example, ensuring that all dietary needs are communicated accurately to the caterer or our complex schedule for processing hundreds of applications to the residential programmes is well coordinated. The tasks you do on any given day may be different, but they are all about making sure participants feel supported, prepared and have what they need to engage with the training. Some work may be outside office hours.

About the team

The successful applicant will join our newly formed Logistics team for programme delivery. Managed by the Logistics and Operations Manager you will be working closely with the different programmes to support participant and trainers needs.

We know there is a huge demand for our work, so are working hard to grow our organisation in a sustainable way. You’ll be a key part of doing that - by helping our colleagues deliver efficient, powerful programmes.

Job Description

• Plan and coordinate logistics for in-person Bootcamp events, including residential trainings, everything from venue, catering, travel, accommodation and supplies to recruiting participants to addressing participant access requirements
• Attend Bootcamp trainings to support the training team and coordinate logistics on site. This will include staying on site overnight for the duration of each of the three Bootcamp residentials (you would be given time off in lieu for this).
• Plan and coordinate logistics for online events, including helping participants learn how to use online platforms, tech support during live sessions, testing new software platforms, sending out equipment and handouts and meeting participant access requirements.
• Ensure online and in-person learning spaces are run effectively - taking into consideration timings/breaks/access to links and passwords/numbers, and ensuring any necessary support is given outside of sessions, for example facilitating test sessions for participants or creating training materials to help participants engage.
• Support the recruitment and selection of participants for Bootcamp trainings, including outreach to potential participants, reviewing applications and conducting interviews and coordinating the work of external selection assistants.
• Ensure access requirements for Bootcamp trainings are identified and participants are worked with to enable them to fully participate
• Feed in to the creation of processes and infrastructure for logistical support
• Coordinate the collection and analysis of evaluation and monitoring of Bootcamp trainings
• Work within an agreed budget for training programmes
• Provide information for grant applications and reports

Our story

At Lightful, we believe that those doing the greatest good deserve the best technology.

We’re passionate about making the best technology accessible to charities and nonprofits. Our products and solutions help organisations unleash the power of technology and make the good work they do even greater. Our products and services are designed to simplify the work and amplify the impact of charities and nonprofits. 

In 2015, Lightful was launched by Vinay Nair, Johnny Murnane and Carlos Miranda. Three friends who all had different exposure to the nonprofit sector, they all realised the same thing - nonprofits were not getting the technology they deserve.

Before evolving into Lightful (pre-2015), we were a YouTube certified multi-channel network (MCN) known as Thunderboom. Our original intention was to help charities and nonprofits of all shapes and sizes monetise their video content.

Things changed - as they do - and we eventually pivoted. We left our MCN ambitions behind, and we launched our now award-winning Lightful Social Platform. At that time, the company became known as Lightful.

From there we grew our consultancy services - now Lightful Solutions - and developed a comprehensive 12-month course to equip charities with the digital skills and capabilities they need to become more resilient - Lightful Learning's BRIDGE programme.

Lightful values

As a certified B Corp, we’re a values-led organisation, and our values are integral to the Lightful culture. Our Lightful values are:

• To act with audacity while remembering humility
• To understand the importance of both listening and leadership
• To practice generosity whilst showing accountability
• These all lay on the foundation of respect and integrity

Our business units
We offer three services to charities and nonprofits; Lightful Products, Lightful Learning and Lightful Solutions. Each business unit is different but highly interconnected, designed for the different needs of the social and environmental-focused organisations we’re proud to serve and work with.

Lightful Products
Lightful Products helps drive organisations forward with ready made software such as: 

• Lightful Fundraising Pages, fully customisable and branded to clients look and feel, to enable clients create engaging experiences that drive donations
• Lightful Social Platform, the #1 social media tool for charities, it helps charities schedule social media content, increase engagement and save time
• Lightful Components, a toolkit of adaptable components designed to build flexible, design-driven online communities

Lightful Learning

Lightful Learning helps our partners master real world skills through a combination of tools and support, building their confidence and resilience. It was designed to grow digital skills and increase effectiveness within the nonprofit sector.

Building resilience in digital growth and engagement (BRIDGE) is Lightful Learning's flagship programme for impact organisations looking to future-proof their operations at a time of great change. It combines a learning syllabus, delivered through a combination of live and recorded sessions and webinars, with the Lightful Social Platform. BRIDGE is supported by foundations and other funders, and offered to small-to-medium sized charities that they support.
