Could you be the person to help

deliver the Waltham Forest Loved and Wanted Alliance?

Age UK Waltham Forest is leading Waltham Forest Loved and Wanted Alliance, which includes a mosque, church, synagogue, foodbank, Chinese and Albanian groups. The Alliance will support people to make meaningful relationships across divides of race, faith, age and wealth. We are now recruiting a Loved and Wanted Organiser who will make our programme of Loved and Wanted activities happen.

This post will organise the Alliance’s programme of events, supporting all Alliance member organisations to contribute. The post-holder will also support the Alliance Steering Group in developing and overseeing the programme, and undertake all monitoring and evaluation. 

You will need to combine outstanding organisational and communication skills with an in-depth understanding of the needs of different faiths, ethnic groups and communities, and the barriers which exist to keep those groups apart. Speaking one of the following language is not essential, but it would be desirable: Urdu, Punjabi, Cantonese, Mandarin, Albanian, Fillipino.

This project forms part of the Mayor of London’s Loved and Wanted campaign, launched in 2025, celebrating the strength and diversity of London’s communities, reinforcing the message that all Londoners are loved, valued, and welcome - regardless of background. The Mayor of London and The National Lottery Community Fund have committed £1.8m over three years to build a London-wide network of venue-based community spaces across the capital.

This role serves as a strategic lead in the fight against authoritarianism and the rise of the far-right. You will navigate interventions of high political sensitivity, tackling systemic issues such as the defence of protest rights, the protection of marginalised communities, and the pushback against state overreach. By bridging the gap between technical legal strategy and digital mobilisation, you will design impactful campaigns that challenge democratic backsliding, drive vital donations, and defend fundamental civil liberties through rigorous project management and compelling storytelling.

What we're looking for

• Campaigning & Journalism: Experience as a strategic advocate or campaigner, with a track record of identifying cases that highlight consumer detriment
• Thematic Expertise: Experience navigating the political and legal sensitivities of campaigns related to Reform action, protest rights, Palestine and challenging the rise of the far right
• Project Management: Experience managing multi-faceted projects, ideally coordinating between different specialisms (e.g., legal, tech, and comms)
• Digital Mobilisation: Experience helping to develop and implement digital campaign strategies that have raised income, grown lists, or secured change
• Political & Economic Awareness: A keen understanding of the political landscape, particularly focused on party politics, protest and civil rights

What we do

• Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation which uses the law to hold power to account and fight for a fairer, greener future. We take on the cases and campaigns where we’ll have the biggest impact, even when the odds are stacked against us
• We had a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament in 2019. We successfully challenged the Government’s operation of a fast track ‘VIP lane’ for awarding lucrative PPE contracts to those with political connections and our campaigning played a key role in the Met Police opening an investigation into Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal. In July 2023, we forced the Government to accept that its flagship Net Zero strategy is unlawful and to develop a better plan
• We get a positive outcome in more than two thirds of our cases – either a straightforward or a partial legal win. But whether we win or lose in court, we always fight to make positive change
• See our website for more about what we do

Salary: £53,700 per annum with generous benefits including 25 days annual holiday plus public holidays, non-contributory pension scheme, private medical health insurance, life assurance, and flexible/hybrid working

We are seeking an exceptional leader who can act as a credible spokesperson and ambassador for the Catholic Union, building trusted relationships across the Church, parliament and wider society and helping to grow the Catholic Union’s influence and engagement in the years ahead.

Founded in 1870, the Catholic Union of Great Britain brings Catholic laity and Catholic social teaching to the public square across England, Wales and Scotland. Working in partnership with dioceses, parishes, MPs, MSPs, MSs, peers and Catholic organisations, our vision is of a society in which Catholic laity are informed, equipped and encouraged to engage in public life.

Through these we foster informed participation in public debate, help Catholics and the wider public understand contemporary social and political issues through a Catholic lens, and inspire greater confidence for Catholics to contribute to civic and community life.
