Overview

High energy costs are a nightmare for millions of UK households, while huge profits are made at our expense. Poor housing and heating systems are a key part of the problem, along with dependence on polluting, climate-changing fossil fuels. FPA is a campaigning organisation that sets out to attack the root causes of fuel poverty along with the specific injustices facing people and communities. We want to see the UK’s energy system decarbonised as rapidly as possible, with a just transition for communities and workers.that includes affordability. 

Working closely with pensioners groups, trades unions, disabled campaigners, tenants’ organisations and others on the frontline of fuel poverty, we’re using protest and direct action to fight for real, sustainable solutions to the cold homes crisis. We are looking for a committed senior organiser, who shares our passion and values, to bring energy and imagination to developing our base and supporting our members to build their power.

About the role

Fuel Poverty Action (FPA) was started in 2011 by climate activists who wanted to ensure that the green energy transition doesn’t happen at the expense of those with less social and economic power. Rather, they saw the break with fossil fuels as an opportunity to end the scourge of fuel poverty in the UK - a chance to rethink priorities and design inequality out of the energy system.

Immediately, they were drawn into community-based struggles for energy justice, against false, profit-driven solutions and maladministration of ‘green’ measures with no accountability to tenants and residents.

Over the years others joined the fight, growing FPA to a small membership-led organisation comprising people at the sharp end of fuel poverty - people of all ages and backgrounds, mainly located in London. Since 2022, funding has enabled us to employ a small, dispersed team who are accountable to directors and a membership that is now UK-wide. 

We are now looking for an experienced, senior organiser to help FPA grow and evolve our membership network further. We want to reach more people and support members to be active within FPA so that we can build our political impact and remain meaningfully member-led. 

We are seeking a flexible person with significant leadership experience who will be confident working as part of a small team, capable of outward facing work and internal management. You will have experience of organising in collective campaigns,  including digitally, and a background in grassroots or community-based action, with a strong commitment to inclusive and anti-oppressive practice.

As the Organising Lead, you will join our Campaigns Lead and Operations Lead as the third pillar of our self-managing Coordination Team. While line-managing other colleagues and enabling the contributions of members who are unpaid, you will yourself be a member of FPA, and answerable to the group. 

We use the digital platform Action Network to run campaigns and communicate with FPA supporters. Our ideal candidate would have the skills to incorporate ladders, tags and custom fields into our digital campaigns to maximise online to offline impact and convert list growth into membership. They would also actively maintain relationships with existing members who are not always confident with online communication tools. 

There is a lot of scope to bring new ideas and perspectives to shape our work.

What you might find yourself doing:

Strategy development: Leading on creation of a new membership growth and retention strategy in collaboration with existing members

Growing our base: Boosting in-person recruitment and using Action Network to build a digital pipeline into membership

Communications: Ensuring members are connected and informed through one-to-one calls, emails, members’ section of the website, WhatsApp groups and other platforms. 

Member development: Building one-to-one relationships with members, understanding their interests, linking them to opportunities and providing feedback and follow-up

Member activation: Supporting members to participate in our own and allies’ events, actions and mobilisations, digitally and on the ground

Speaker invitations: Representing FPA at events and in media as well as supporting members to do so

Capacity building and training: Providing tools, advice and training to members and supporters, including to FPA’s local groups in Glasgow, Manchester and London

Administration: Managing onboarding systems and securely maintaining records

Line management: Providing light touch management for one or more colleagues

We are excited to be recruiting two part-time Wellbeing Support Workers to join the Support and Connect Team, in partnership with the NHS Core Team within the North London Foundation Trust. 

About Likewise
Likewise is an innovative social care and mental health charity working at the heart of the Camden community to support individuals experiencing marginalisation and social exclusion.

We exist to create compassionate, human-centred relationships and spaces where people feel valued, accepted, and connected. We support often isolated, marginalised or excluded people by building authentic relationships and community together. Through these connections and our partnerships, we nurture wellbeing and inspire systemic change toward a more human, empathetic, and inclusive health and social care system.

About Support and Connect 
The Support and Connect service is delivered in partnership with MIND in Camden, within the NHS Core Team. We provide members of our local community with short-term, holistic and person-centred support, which is meaningful and steered by them. We aim to work flexibly with, and alongside clients in the service to support their needs and wellbeing. 
Support and Connect is a short-term service, offering up to 10-12 sessions of emotional, social and/or practical support. You would be expected to meet with clients either at Likewise, in one of our partner offices across Camden or within the community spaces across the borough.

As a Wellbeing Support Worker, you must first and foremost be a learner and a leader: Learner: we need individuals who are committed to their own learning, growth and development. People who can sit with the discomfort of being outside their comfort zone, are ready to engage in the diverse experiences of our work and are prepared to tap into their vulnerability.
Leader: we need leaders who take responsibility for finding the potential in themselves and others, and who have the courage, commitment and care to develop that potential.

• Clear and consistent communication, including deep and active listening skills 
• Emotional and relational intelligence – willingness to reflect on and share authentically how your emotions are impacting your work 
• Empathy, warmth and proactivity in building and navigating complex relationships
• Ability to work with challenging situations skilfully and actively seek support when needed
• Good enough professional skills – organisation, time-management, reliability, self-management and capacity for lone working

Jangala is seeking a technically adept and impact-driven person to generate insights from our internet inclusion projects across the UK and internationally. This role will be central in demonstrating the outcomes of Jangala’s programmes, improving our products and support to partners, and contributing to our organisational learning as we aim to deliver socially impactful internet to  4 million people by 2030.

This is a unique opportunity for a candidate equally comfortable designing and conducting qualitative field surveys and focus groups  as they are working with large-scale datasets. You will work directly with rich telemetry from our connectivity devices - complemented by interviews, surveys, and case studies - to understand and communicate the real-world impact of digital inclusion.

About Jangala

Jangala is a technology charity dedicated to providing essential internet access globally, with the goal of  connecting 4 million people to the internet  by 2030. Founded in 2015 as a volunteer initiative providing Wi-Fi to 5,000 people in the Calais Jungle refugee camp, Jangala offers a unique approach through its novel connectivity solutions, and takes great pride in its strong partnerships with international aid actors, grassroots organisations and public bodies. To date, we have directly connected 100,000 individuals across 36 countries.

We are driven by a vision of equalising technology for everyone, and are fully committed to addressing the realities of digital exclusion and the fragilities of internet connectivity, both in the UK and around the world. As a non-political, non-governmental registered charity, we focus on bridging the digital divide and enhancing connectivity resilience.

Since our full-time founding, we’ve made a significant impact through innovative technology and robust partnerships. Big Box, our rugged connectivity champion, serves critical and challenging deployments, from response teams in an emergency zone to a remote educational hub. Get Box, developed rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensures that households and individuals are able to  stay connected to the internet, whatever their circumstances.

• Collecting and analysing data and feedback from partners, end users and stakeholders eg. interviews, surveys and the development of case studies
