War on Want challenges the root causes of poverty and injustice. We run impactful campaigns in the UK - and work with partner organisations across the Global South. We are currently relaunching our trade justice campaigning and are looking for an energetic early career campaigner to work on it.
The trade system sits at the heart of the rigged global economy. It perpetuates social, economic and climate injustice. From fossil fuel corporations suing governments in secret courts, to British mining giants violently extracting minerals from countries in the Global South, to upholding neocolonial patterns of economic inequality.
Our re-launched campaign will challenge these secret ‘ISDS’ courts and the dangerous global rush for critical minerals, while championing trade justice.
This is a diverse and challenging role. On a typical day, the successful candidate might be planning a panel discussion, producing social media content, meeting an MP, carrying out research, organising a protest, or coordinating with allied organisations. We are looking for an ambitious self-starter with a passion for social justice.

Dataro are looking for a Partnerships & Marketing UK Manager to help grow their presence across the UK charity sector. This is a varied role that combines partnership development with hands-on marketing and events delivery, making it ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities, and turning ideas into action.
Around 70% of the role will focus on partnerships and new business growth; identifying and developing collaborations that build pipeline and raise Dataro’s profile across the UK. The remaining 30% will focus on delivering marketing activity and events on the ground, from conferences and webinars to partner activations and community engagement.
You’ll work closely with Dataro’s global marketing and partnerships team, with access to the tools, systems and support needed to make things happen. While the role sits within a global team, this position will play a key part in shaping and delivering activity specifically for the UK charity market.
This role could suit people from a range of backgrounds. You might currently be working in corporate partnerships, marketing, partnerships, data, or events within a UK charity, or in a technology or service provider that works with the nonprofit sector. What matters most is that you understand how strong relationships translate into income and impact, and that you’re comfortable taking ideas from concept through to delivery.
Importantly, you don’t need to meet every single element on the person specification to apply. If you have experience building partnerships, running sector-facing marketing activity, or working closely with charities - and you’re someone who enjoys spotting opportunities and making things happen - we’d love to hear from you.
This is a great opportunity to join a growing organisation that still retains the energy and ownership of a startup environment, while working with charities across the UK to help them strengthen their fundraising and supporter engagement.

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Intervention Officer to play a pivotal role in our Criminal Justice Approved Premises service in Streatham
Sounds great, what will I be doing?
The role involves supporting residents in an Approved Premises by modelling positive behaviour, fostering respect, and maintaining a safe, healthy, and structured environment. A key aspect is acting as a keyworker, coordinating each resident's stay, delivering intensive casework, and addressing risk and support needs through regular sessions and daily engagement. The postholder also contributes to sentence plans in collaboration with probation, police, and external agencies, while encouraging compliance with rules such as drug and alcohol testing or curfews. Alongside direct support, responsibilities include facilitating purposeful activities, preparing meals with residents, and ensuring the premises' health, safety, and security through observation, inspections, and effective communication.
Administrative responsibilities are central to the role, requiring accurate and timely record-keeping, information sharing, and adherence to confidentiality. The position also demands flexibility and initiative to manage emerging tasks while working closely with colleagues and management to maintain a psychologically informed environment that meets accreditation standards. The postholder must follow the Ministry of Justice and probation service protocols while aligning with Hestia's policies and values, consistently applying The Hestia Approach to create a positive, enabling culture within the service.
What do I need to bring with me?
You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.
Here's what the team will be looking for
This role requires significant experience working with vulnerable adults, preferably those with backgrounds in the criminal justice system, alongside a strong understanding of safeguarding and risk management. The postholder must have practical experience delivering direct keywork, supporting individuals with histories of offending behaviour through meaningful interventions that encourage positive change. A solid grasp of the causes and consequences of offending, combined with the ability to empower residents to make informed choices and move toward desistance, is essential. Equally important is the capacity to engage effectively, communicate clearly, and apply professional authority while maintaining positive and pro-social relationships.
The position also demands resilience and adaptability in working with individuals affected by trauma, often displaying challenging emotions and behaviours. Strong teamwork skills are essential, with a willingness to contribute to both structured interventions and practical household tasks, setting a positive example for residents. High standards of literacy, numeracy, and record-keeping are required to ensure accurate documentation and professional communication. Finally, the role calls for optimism, decisiveness, and the ability to learn quickly, qualities that support residents' rehabilitation and reinforce the belief in their capacity for lasting change.
