If you have a strong understanding of the impact of the violence, racial inequity and systemic injustice on marginalised communities and are passionate about empowering those most affected to create a change, then we can’t wait to hear from you!
ABOUT US
The 4Front Project is a member-led youth organisation empowering young people and communities to fight for justice, peace and freedom. The organisation was established in 2012 to provide a platform for those who have been impacted by violence to create change. We support members with experiences of violence and the criminal justice system to create change in their own lives, communities and society.
Over the last eight years, we have pioneered an approach that empowers those most directly harmed by violence and the criminal justice system to be at the forefront of a grassroots movement for change. Our holistic model has been designed specifically to support young people aged 13 - 25 with complex needs as a result of multiple systemic disadvantages and disproportionate exposure to serious violence. By advocating for a holistic approach to build peace, we are transforming the way in which society understands how to support young people who have been affected by violence and shaping the agenda around how to tackle the systemic causes of it.
We acknowledge the impact of racism and discrimination on our members and actively work to dismantle these systems, whilst supporting members to recognise their strengths and identify systemic barriers to their progress. In this way, we support 4Front members to make changes in their own lives, whilst exploring the inequity they’ve experienced and amplifying their voices to create systemic change. Becoming a member means joining a powerful youth-led movement for change that is transforming the way peace and justice are understood by centring healing, rather than punishment.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a formidable Campaigns and Communications Coordinator to develop our transformative campaigning work and support young change makers to take the lead. You care deeply about revolutionising society and are personally invested in fighting for justice and equity. You can hold emotion and know how to create safe spaces for people to explore their experiences and build their sense of identity. You have experience working on campaigns that transform policy. You are well networked, already a part of groups that are tackling social justice issues and keen to actively research and network with other organisations that will become our partners and allies. You understand the power of effective communication to change minds and have interesting and unique ideas about how to get a message across. You have worked or volunteered as a mentor and you’re dedicated to tackling social justice issues. You are comfortable with conflict and have experience of managing difficult conversations to successful resolutions. You see courage in vulnerability and believe in building the resilience of young people. Most importantly, you are committed to peace and you fundamentally believe in the potential to change, both at an individual and societal level. You will be a visionary leader, seeing your work at The 4Front Project as a crucial part of your identity and purpose in life. You will be committed to upholding our vision, mission, principles and values at all times.

Our charity is in an exciting period of growth as we embarking on a new contract with the local authority and our partners within the COPSINS consortium to deliver Ageing Well Southwark, support for elders and carers. This will see us offer a range of on-site service provision to older people in Southwark. Our work has been significantly impacted by the pandemic but we have moved swiftly to adapt our service provision and to maintain contact with our service users.
Prior to lockdown, we ran 25 groups for older people which included social, exercise and activity groups. All groups are held in local venues that are provided free of cost. Transport to groups is provided by our volunteer drivers or via a minibus service for those who are unable to travel independently. In response to the pandemic, we have adapted as many of our existing groups as possible to offer online sessions or telephone calls from our specialist tutors or volunteers. We have also just launched our first socially distanced group within one of the residential care settings where it ran previously.
Our groups provide service users with peer and social contact and, prior to lockdown, offered the chance for service users to get out of the house and connect with other people. Adapting our groups to the current situation was a huge undertaking for the team. We are now looking at further adaptations as we adjust to social distancing and seek to further develop the digital connectivity of our service users. The Groups Coordinator has a key role to play in the next phase of our groups offer. We need a highly motivated, organised and technologically aware individual to help us navigate through this complicated period of maintaining and developing our groups offer.
The deadline for applications is 5:00pm on Monday 19th October
Interviews will take place on Thursday 29th October
