Working at a senior level, the Head of Grassroots Engagement will lead by example, encouraging consistently effective and efficient service across a UK-wide team, and ensuring that our staff, supporters and volunteers are recruited, inducted, trained, supported, recognised and retained in line with Mary’s Meals values.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing and growing Mary’s Meals grassroots support across the UK, ensuring our network is empowered and enabled, ensuring responsibility of the promotion of our campaigns and materials with our movement.

This is one of two Coalition Coordinator posts being recruited at the same time. The other post will be based in London. Expectation of strong coordination and collaboration between two posts.
This post will require some work out of office hours, including evenings and weekends, for which time off in lieu will be granted. There will be no payment of overtime.
The UN climate talks (COP26) will take place in Glasgow from 9-20 November 2020. The UK COP26 Coalition is a broad UK-wide coalition through which civil society will plan together, share resources and learning, and organise a mass mobilisation and Peoples’ counter-summit during the talks. It aims to support the transformation of the climate movement in the UK, to a stronger, more climate-justice centred movement long after COP26 is over.
We are recruiting two Co-Coordinators, one based in Glasgow, one based in London to coordinate a broad, diverse and inclusive coalition of civil society groups, working in a flexible and open way that allows for different levels of access and involvement, engaging established and new actors across the breadth of sectoral, thematic and regional spaces.
The successful applicants will need to be excellent networkers, highly organised, skilled in facilitation and communication with a wide range of audiences, have a strong track record of working with marginalised groups and an understanding of the wider political context around the climate summit.
We would particularly like to encourage applications from people of colour / black or brown people and people most impacted by climate change or impacted by other kinds of environmental, social, and economic injustice who are currently under-represented in the climate and environmental movements in the UK.
We are open to secondments for this post.
