We're looking for a dynamic campaigner to join our team working to ban nuclear weapons and bring about a more peaceful world.

In July 2017, 122 UN member states agreed the 'Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons', which now has over two-thirds the signatories needed to enter into international law. As one of a handful of states possessing nuclear weapons the UK has vocally opposed the ban - but resistance is growing. Many UK MPs have pledged their support, alongside a number of local authorities who have become Nuclear Ban Communities. Via a combination of street campaigning, political lobbying and public information campaigns it is our job to spread the word about the dangers of nuclear weapons and the opportunity a global ban represents.

Want to be part of building a better future? Then why not join us.

Background to the role:

Suzy Lamplugh Trust is the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, established in 1986 following the disappearance of 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh whilst at work. We work towards creating a society in which people are safer - and feel safer - from the prevalence of stalking, harassment, aggression and violence, achieved through supporting people; education; and campaigning.

Over the last two years, the Trust’s policy and development function has continued to develop and deliver hard hitting campaigns and projects. In addition to our personal safety and stalking training, we are now delivering more bespoke consultancy services to organisations, in order to improve personal safety in the workplace, which we hope to continue to grow in the coming years. The Trust’s policy function also continues to deliver personal safety projects to small charities and communities at risk of violence and aggression, such as young people facing homelessness.

Building on the success of our annual National Personal Safety Day campaigns, National Stalking Awareness Week and leadership of the National Stalking Consortium, we have secured a further three-year grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation to accelerate our campaigning on stalking. We have also identified a need to build up our evidence base on broader personal safety issues in order to increase our campaigning on personal safety at work, safer transport and online safety.

We are looking for an ambitious, dynamic leader to lead this team and ensure that its work has maximum impact and is embedded into the core output of the charity.

Overall purpose of role:

• To lead and develop Suzy Lamplugh Trust’s work in research, policy, campaigns and community development, ensuring the delivery of key, strategic projects

Sense about Science is a campaigning charity that champions the public interest in sound science and evidence.

We’ve changed many debates about science and evidence over the past 18 years by involving the public and researchers in challenging misleading claims. We introduced reviews of whether government is transparent about its use of evidence in policy proposals and lead the annual Evidence Week in the UK parliament. We run the AllTrials campaign for all clinical trials to be registered and reported; and the public campaign Ask for Evidence, helping people use scientific questioning to navigate debates. Our direct approach to difficult subjects is ‘public led, expert fed’ and it is in high demand. 

We have a vacancy for a campaigns and research coordinator.

• Recording and reporting campaign outcomes and impacts
• Researching and scoping out future campaign  aims and programmes
• Researching and writing campaign funding proposals 
• Research for our other projects and campaigns, including our work on data science
