The Centre for Progressive Change is looking for a Safe Sick Pay Campaign Director that will be part of the newly formed Executive Team. This is an exciting time to be joining the campaign, as we capitalise on our successes so far and plan for our next big policy gain - increasing the rate of Statutory Sick Pay.

The Centre for Progressive Change (CPC) is an organisation that builds campaigns for national policy change in the UK. Our focus is on making progressive gains that improve the lives of low- and middle-income communities. We want the UK to be a place where everyone has the financial resources they need, where people are treated as equals and are free to be who they are without persecution, and where we look after our environment.

To achieve this vision, our mission is to build proactive campaigns for progressive legislative change, do research on what works when campaigning for national policy change and offer training and consultancy to support other organisations to build effective campaigns. Our campaigns use an inter-disciplinary approach including community organising, mobilising, advocacy, business engagement, campaign research and press work.

The Campaign Director will be in charge of our campaign for Safe Sick Pay, so that everyone has the Statutory Sick Pay they need. The Campaign Director will form the campaign strategy to see an increase in the rate of Statutory Sick Pay, fundraise to implement the strategy, hire campaign team members, support the team to implement the strategy, hold the key stakeholder relationships, drive the campaign, and deliver parts of the campaign where needed.

As a member of the Executive Team, the Campaign Director will be part of the team responsible for the strategy, structure, team, culture and finances of the organisation.

We seek a highly capable Membership and Office Administrator to support the work of the Society’s professional Office based at University College London.

The role will focus primarily on supporting and communicating with the Society’s extensive membership, which largely comprises practising historians in higher education and other sectors, as well as prospective members, applicants for the Society’s extensive research funding programme, and members of the public.

The role holder will report to the Membership and Programmes Manager and will also assist in the running of the Society’s research funding schemes. This is a hybrid position which supports home / remote working as the predominant model. As part of a small Office team, the post holder will in addition assist with the administration and efficient running of the Office on a daily basis. The Society offers an employer contributor pension of 12% and a friendly, supportive and highly professional working environment.

The Royal Historical Society is the UK’s foremost learned society and membership organisation for the support and promotion of historians and historical research and teaching in higher education and related sectors.

As a registered charity, founded in 1868 and now with more than 6,500 Fellows and Members, the Society champions the discipline of history within higher education and well beyond. Our remit is to support historians of all kinds to undertake and encourage historical research and understanding; to advocate for history and its practitioners; to represent history as a discipline and historians as a group; and to promote greater equality and representation within historical practice.
