REF-226 023

The Fawcett Society is the UK’s leading feminist campaigning charity. Our vision is a feminist future where every woman and girl has the power to make her own choices and thrive.

We are recruiting a Community Builder to strengthen and grow our grassroots feminist movement. This role will support Fawcett’s Local Groups, develop clear and inclusive pathways for people to get involved, and help connect local activism with national campaigns and policy change.

This is a role for someone who believes power should be shared, not hoarded — and who is motivated by building feminist power beyond any single organisation.

About the role

Local Groups are the foundation of Fawcett’s movement. Our Local Groups campaign on local issues affecting women in their locality, and create national campaigns and policy drives based on the lived experience of their local group.

We want to do more to bring these groups together, to strengthen our support of these groups, to pull together the voices and campaigns into national policy priorities, and ensure that every member of a local group feels connected to the national movement.

This is where this new role comes in.

The Community Builder will help people set up new groups, and ensure our groups are well supported, informed, and connected, while also exploring new ways for people to organise together, including thematic and digital communities.

Alongside relationship-building, the role carries responsibility for ensuring community activity is underpinned by clear processes, agreements, and risk management, so that grassroots organising is safe and sustainable.

This is a manager-level role, working with autonomy and initiative, with scope to grow into line management in future.

What you will do

• Support and strengthen Fawcett’s local groups, building trusted relationships with activists and group leaders.
• Create clear, accessible pathways for people to set up new groups, join existing ones, or engage in other forms of feminist activism.
• Connect and embed grassroots insights and lived experience with Fawcett’s national campaigns and policy work.
• Support activists to grow their skills, confidence, and leadership in inclusive and democratic ways.
• Develop and maintain processes, agreements, and protocols that support safe, compliant, and sustainable community organising.
• Explore and assess new models and tools for feminist community-building, including digital approaches.
• Collaborate across campaigns, communications, and membership to strengthen Fawcett’s overall impact.

What we’re looking for

You don’t need to have done this exact job before.

We’re interested in people who bring:

• Experience of grassroots organising, community-building, or supporting volunteer networks (paid or unpaid).
• A strong commitment to intersectional, anti-racist feminist practice.
• An understanding of activism and how to amplify lived experience in national policy and campaigning.
• A collaborative approach to leadership and decision-making.
• Confidence working with ambiguity and helping shape new approaches where no template exists.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust across diverse communities.
• Awareness of risk, safeguarding, or compliance considerations in grassroots or volunteer activity.
• Curiosity about digital tools and inclusive ways of organising.

Encouragement to apply

We know that women and people from marginalised backgrounds are less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every single criterion listed. If this role excites you and you feel you could do it well, we strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements.

We care about values, potential, and how you approach your work, not just whether your experience matches the role line-by-line.

Inclusion and adjustments

We are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. You do not need to disclose a disability to request adjustments.
