About Bank Workers Charity

We’re the charity for past and present bank employees and their families – here when life gets tough.

Every year, we help thousands of people navigate challenges like financial problems, mental health concerns, housing issues and more. We do that through free, confidential support – from expert advice and specialist referrals to financial grants.

We believe everyone deserves support when they need it most and we work hard to make sure that happens. If you care about making a real difference to people’s lives, you’ll be in good company here.

 About the role

Our Client Advisers are often the first people our clients speak to – and that first conversation really matters.

Whether someone is facing financial hardship, struggling with their mental health, or unsure where to turn for help, you’ll be there to listen, understand, and guide them through the support we offer.

It’s a varied and rewarding role. You’ll provide advice and guidance, coordinate casework, process grants, and refer clients to our trusted partners – helping them access the right support at the right time.

If you’re empathetic, organised, and want to make a meaningful difference to people’s lives, this could be the role for you.

You’re someone who genuinely cares about helping others – and knows how to listen without judgement.

You have experience supporting people with things like housing, benefits, mental wellbeing or budgeting – or you might come from another role where empathy, problem-solving and clear communication were key.

Some of the people you support may be facing difficult situations, so you’ll be calm under pressure and confident making decisions. And while not every call is as complex, you’ll always have the support of your team.

You’ll be organised, curious, and open to learning. Most of all, you’ll want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on people’s lives.

ABOUT WEN 

Wen is the Women’s Environmental Network. We are an environmental charity working on issues that connect women, health, equity and environmental justice. We take an intersectional feminist approach to tackling the climate and nature emergencies.

We support women and communities to take action, amplifying racialised and marginalised women’s voices, and advocate for change. We cultivate grassroots projects, connect women to nature, create blueprints for just food systems and put gender and intersectional equality at the heart of the green economy.

We were the first charity to connect gender, health, equity and environmental justice. Since our radical beginnings in 1988, Wen’s groundbreaking campaigns have tackled issues from air pollution and plastic packaging to toxic chemicals in menstrual products and cosmetics.

Our vision

A world where women, communities and the planet thrive because values of equity, collaboration and care underpin our society.

Our mission

Wen exists to actively build a world where women, communities and the planet thrive - collaborating to create viable alternatives to oppressive systems, which end the exploitation of women and the natural world.

Our values

• Equity

• Collaboration

• Care

• Intersectional eco-feminism

WORKING AT WEN

As an intersectional feminist charity, we live and breathe our values of equity, collaboration, care and intersectional eco-feminism.

The Wen team is friendly, open and passionate about our cause and the communities we work in. Our office is based just off Brick Lane in Shoreditch and we also have another hub in Mile End, where we hold our bi-monthly team meeting with a shared lunch. We also have a weekly online check in meeting every Tuesday morning. 

ABOUT THE ROLE 

This role builds on the work of our Feminist Green New Deal  project. The Feminist Green New Deal puts the needs and priorities of women, racialised and marginalised groups at the heart of all climate policy and action and advocates for a care-led green recovery from our multiple crises of climate breakdown and inequality. The role will continue to develop our Feminist Green New Deal work engaging new audiences, stakeholders and writing new policy papers. 

As a Feminist Climate Justice Policy Campaigner you will make connections with policy makers, government departments, NGOs and influencers, bringing an intersectional feminist lens to these spaces. You will need to keep up to speed with UK climate policies and how these impact women. 

Wen works at the grassroots and policy level ensuring that grassroots perspectives are part of and shape climate policy making so a key part of the role will be linking these two levels.  You will work closely with our Climate Sisters  programme and the Tower Hamlets Food Partnership which inform our Feminist Green New Deal policy asks and campaigns, advocating for inclusive climate policy rooted in the priorities of women,  particularly racialised and marginalised groups.  We are looking to recruit a policy campaigner with in-depth  knowledge of the policy systems and strategic thinking about how to advocate for feminist climate justice at local, regional and national level in the UK working in collaboration with others.
