Event organiser jobs in Belfast
Green New Deal Rising is looking for a dynamic and go-getting Junior Organiser to support volunteers and supercharge our movement, delivering training and hands-on support to our local teams.
Green New Deal Rising is building a movement of young people from every part of the UK to fight for a response to the climate crisis that transforms our economy to deliver a safe climate and a fairer society. We believe in people power, and through a combination of disrupting the political system and organising in our communities, we are working to make the Green New Deal an era-defining political demand.
We’ve recently relaunched our strategy and have ambitious plans through to 2029 to build a movement capable of forcing this government to deliver - and of pushing back against the growing threat of the far right.
In our small, agile staff team, you'll own real responsibility early, contribute to shaping our direction, and watch your work make an immediate impact.
In this role, you’ll be working to support and grow our volunteer base: helping to train organisers, strengthen local teams, and ensure volunteers feel confident, motivated, and equipped to take action. You’ll play a key role in turning people’s energy and commitment into effective organising on the ground.
You don’t need to be an expert already. We’re looking for someone with strong organising instincts, a willingness to learn, and the confidence to take initiative with support. This role is ideal for someone earlier in their organising journey who wants to deepen their skills, take on more responsibility, and be part of a movement building towards real power.
