You must have an excellent understanding of how to plan and influence decision-makers in government, Parliament and the media with excellent spoken and written communication skills.

You will need to be highly organised and prepared to manage the range of tasks involved in growing the campaign, adept at delivering to deadlines but with the ability to adapt to meet changing demands and priorities. Finally, you must be a self-starter with staying power who is excited to lead Today For Tomorrow and committed to the social objectives of The Big Issue.
