About the Britain Palestine Project

The Britain Palestine Project (BPP) is a UK-based Scottish registered charity working for peace with justice, security, and equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians. Rooted in the belief that Britain’s historic and ongoing responsibilities in Palestine must be acknowledged and addressed, BPP promotes informed public debate, legally grounded advocacy, and inclusive educational programming that connects history, law, and civic engagement.

Our mission is to ensure that Palestine is part of Britain’s national conversation—not just as a foreign policy issue, but as a historical and moral responsibility that resonates with communities across the UK.

What We Do

BPP’s work is organised into two core thematic workstreams and two delivery workstreams:

1. Advocacy and Law
   Engaging UK policymakers through strategic briefings, a flagship Parliamentary Fellowship, international law podcasts, and targeted constituency events.
2. Education and History
   Bringing Britain’s past and present role in Palestine into classrooms and public debate through our schools programme, Essay Competition, digital history projects, films, and webinars.
3. Communications
   Amplifying impact across platforms—Substack, social media, press outreach, and content creation—shaping the public narrative with clarity and authority.
4. Fundraising and Organisational Development
   Strengthening BPP’s core capacity and sustainability through donor stewardship, Middle East engagement, and systems building.

Why This Role Matters

BPP is in a period of growth and transition, evolving from a volunteer-led initiative into a professionally structured charity. We are building the systems and team to deliver an ambitious 2025–2029 strategy that includes trying to influence the next UK General Election discourse, engaging deeply in Parliament, and expanding national education reach.

This position will play a vital role in supporting the smooth operation of our growing charity—ensuring our supporters are valued, our finances and records are accurate, and our public-facing work runs smoothly.

Join Us

You’ll be part of a small, mission-driven team that punches well above its weight. We operate with a collaborative, inclusive spirit, guided by our values and a strong network of supporters, volunteers, and expert advisors.

About The Job

At the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE), we’re on a mission to tackle the climate emergency and end the suffering caused by cold homes. From community energy projects to national policy work, we support people and organisations across the UK to take practical action and shape a fairer, zero-carbon future.

You will sit within the Finance & Operations team and be part of CSE’s Senior Management Team (SMT), working closely with our Director of Finance & Operations. While you won’t directly manage staff, you will collaborate with the Operations Officers and support colleagues across every part of the organisation.

· Working knowledge of GDPR and cyber security best practice.

· Familiarity with platforms such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and cloud services.

· Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage risk and prioritise effectively.

· A people-focused approach- patient, clear and collaborative.

What success looks like in this role

This role is central to keeping our systems secure, stable and supportive of colleagues across CSE. We are looking for someone who can confidently take ownership, work independently, and continuously improve how we deliver IT.

In the first 6–12 months, success might include:

· A clear, well-documented overview of CSE’s IT systems and infrastructure.

· Smooth and reliable day-to-day IT support across the organisation, with positive feedback from staff.

· Effective working relationship with our external IT provider, with clear processes and expectations in place.

· Cyber Essentials accreditation maintained and compliance confidently overseen.

· Risks, dependencies and continuity plans identified and managed.

· Practical support provided to colleagues across departments, especially around internal databases and platforms.

· Recommendations in place for any long-term system or hardware improvements.

We are looking for someone who can build on strong foundations, while helping us work smarter and stay secure as we grow.
