About Culture Unstained

Culture Unstained is a campaigns and investigations organisation which primarily works to end fossil fuel sponsorship of culture, undermining the industry’s ‘social licence to operate’. We believe that targeting cultural sponsorship gets to the core of challenging the disruptive role of the fossil fuel industry in our politics, society and culture. 

We work to end the social legitimacy and cultural power the fossil free industry currently gains from its involvement in culture and art – most visibly by sponsoring museums, galleries and other arts organisations – in order to bring about a world where cultural organisations draw an ethical red line and proudly reject funding and other ties to those involved in fuelling the climate crisis. 

We adopt an intersectional, rather than single-issue approach, to our campaigns and are committed to climate justice. This means joining the dots between fossil fuel sponsorship, militarisation, frontline struggles, decolonisation and restitution campaigns, and Palestinian liberation. 

Over the last decade, we have made cultural spaces into some of the most visible battlegrounds for a showdown between people and polluters. We have spearheaded headline-grabbing campaigns that have mobilised new networks of artists, workers and youth activists, and led to major wins, including the end of Shell and Equinor’s partnerships with the Science Museum and BP’s sponsorship of the Royal Opera House and The British Museum’s major exhibitions. In 2025, as a result of our track record of success and ongoing advocacy work, the Museums Association trade body passed a new Code of Ethics which now expects museums to ‘transition away from’ fossil fuel sponsorship.

As a Workers’ Co-operative, we all participate in decisions relating to overarching strategy and working conditions.

About the role

Culture Unstained is looking for a Campaigner to join our small but impactful team in the UK, at a key moment in the exciting campaign to end fossil fuel sponsorship of culture. 

You will be working with our existing team on core campaigns such as the Science Museum and The British Museum, as well as contributing to our wider strategic work, which includes:

• Centring and amplifying the demands of impacted communities, in line with our values of climate justice and decolonisation.

• Cultivating opposition to fossil fuel sponsorship in the theatre and live music sectors, building upon our existing campaign against the Royal Bank of Canada’s sponsorship of The Old Vic theatre and instigating our first mobilisations against the recent fossil fuel sponsorship deal of a major music venue.

• Developing a mandate for sector-wide bodies, governments and multilateral organisations to implement bans on fossil fuel sponsorship and advertising, following the precedent of controls on tobacco promotion.

• Achieving consistent parliamentary scrutiny of fossil fuel industry conduct and cultural sponsorship through wider strategic engagement with parliament and culture sector bodies, alongside international advocacy activities.

• Researching and campaigning on fossil fuel industry influence on education and young people, including STEM education programmes and competitions.

• Creating the conditions for a broader cultural shift by engaging with artists and the wider culture sector through advocacy, relationship-building and convening e.g. providing sector-facing guidance on ethical sponsorship and fundraising.

• Strengthening the national and international ‘Fossil Free Culture’ movement, by resourcing and supporting allies across the wider movement.

Once in post, your role will likely mainly focus on two or three of the above areas depending on your skills, experience, interest and fit with the wider team. We would welcome ideas from you at the interview stage relating to any of our areas of work.

Key responsibilities

In this role you will be responsible for developing and implementing the campaign to end UK fossil fuel sponsorship of culture in collaboration with the rest of the team. Our work is often fast-paced and reactive, and key responsibilities include:

• Incorporating climate justice and solidarity principles into our work and creating opportunities to centre people on the front lines of climate justice and intersecting struggles;
• Contributing to research and investigations work to scrutinise fossil fuel companies’ sponsorship deals and business plans;
• Undertaking strategic media and communications work to ensure that fossil fuel sponsorship remains one of the most controversial debates within the culture sector and more widely, including pitching media stories, writing press releases, building relationships with key journalists in the mainstream and arts media, and producing public communications materials such as briefings, blogs and social media content; 
• Direct engagement with decision-makers and regulatory bodies through, for example, written consultations, meetings, parliamentary events;
• Building relationships across the culture sector and with networks of NGOs, campaigners and frontline organisations, and working collaboratively with a range of organisations/contacts at significant campaign moments
• As a member of a Workers’ Co-operative you will also participate in decisions relating to overarching strategy and working conditions, as well as maintaining the effective running of the organisation.

Senior Technical Officer (MEAL)

Use data to transform care systems globally — and help ensure every child grows up in a family.

At Lumos, we’re working to end the institutionalisation of children worldwide. We’re now looking for a data-driven MEAL specialist who can turn complex information into insight, strengthen global systems, and help shape how we measure impact across multiple countries.

About the role

This is not a traditional MEAL role.

As our Senior Technical Officer (MEAL), you’ll be the technical backbone of our global MEAL function, designing smart data systems, building dashboards, and helping teams use data to make better decisions.

You’ll work across programmes, advocacy, and partnerships to ensure our data is not just collected but trusted, actionable, and driving change.

From building Power BI dashboards to strengthening logframes and automating data flows, your work will directly influence how Lumos delivers impact at scale.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading on the design and improvement of MEAL systems, tools, and databases
• Building dashboards and visualisations (e.g. Power BI) to track global performance
• Supporting programme teams to develop strong logframes, indicators, and results frameworks
• Improving data quality, validation, and standardisation across countries
• Training and supporting colleagues and partners to use MEAL tools effectively
• Driving smarter, more efficient data processes with increased automation

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who combines technical expertise with a strong understanding of programmes and impact.

You might be a great fit if you have:

• Experience working in MEAL within international development, child rights, or similar contexts
• Strong skills in Excel (advanced), Power BI, KoboToolbox or similar tools
• Experience designing databases, dashboards, and data systems
• Confidence working with logframes, IPTTs, and indicator frameworks
• A passion for turning data into insight and supporting teams to use it

Bonus if you bring:

• Experience supporting partners internationally
• Knowledge of data protection (e.g. GDPR)
• Additional languages (Spanish, Romanian, Ukrainian)

Why join Lumos?

• Be part of a global movement to ensure children grow up in safe, loving families
• Work on meaningful, system-level change across multiple countries
• Hybrid and flexible working
• 30 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Enhanced family-friendly policies and pension
• A collaborative, values-driven culture where your work has real impact

About Lumos

Founded by J.K. Rowling, Lumos works globally to transform care systems and end the institutionalisation of children. Today, over 5 million children still live in institutions—and millions more are at risk.

Our ambition is bold:

• Help 500,000 children transition to family-based care
• Prevent 10 million children from being separated from their families

You’ll be joining us at a critical moment, helping us scale our impact through stronger systems, better data, and smarter decision-making.

Key details

• Location: London (hybrid working)
• Contract: 18-month fixed term
• Salary: £36,000–£45,000 (DOE)
• Hours: 35 hours per week

If you’re excited by the idea of using data to drive global change and want your work to have a direct impact on children’s lives, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note:

• Only candidates with the right to work in the UK will be considered
• Candidates must be based in the UK
• Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted

Be at the heart of a welcoming community hub—shaping daily operations, supporting local people, and helping a growing centre thrive.
We’re looking for a proactive and organised Centre Coordinator to play a key role in the smooth running of the Weir Link Centre.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same. You’ll be the person who keeps everything moving—from coordinating bookings and supporting community sessions, to ensuring the building is safe, well-maintained, and ready for use. You’ll work closely with the Centre Director, taking ownership of day-to-day operations and enabling them to focus on developing partnerships and growing the centre’s impact.

There is real scope to shape this role and make it your own. With a supportive and flexible approach from the Centre Director, you’ll be encouraged to bring ideas, use your creativity, and introduce practical improvements that enhance how the centre runs and how the community experiences it.

You’ll also be a visible and approachable presence within the centre—supporting a weekly volunteer-led art club, hosting a relaxed “stay & play” session for mums, and building positive relationships with partners, including our onsite nursery provider.

We’re looking for someone who is naturally organised, calm under pressure, and enjoys working with people from all walks of life. You’ll be confident managing a range of responsibilities within limited hours, and motivated to take ownership while contributing fresh ideas.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to make a meaningful contribution in a community setting—bringing together operations, coordination, and people-focused work in a role with real purpose.

Even if you don’t meet every requirement listed, we’d still love to hear from you if you feel you could be a strong fit.

Please find the job description attached. Applications must include a CV and cover letter to be considered.

Application deadline: 15th May

Interviews: 20th - 29th of May
