Job Description

Living Wage Foundation

The Living Wage Foundation was launched in 2011 by Citizens UK to tackle in-work poverty and ensure that workers earn enough to live on and participate in family and community life. Citizens UK is the home of community organising with diverse civil society alliances set up to develop leaders to work on the issues that matter to them, such as the Living Wage. Other projects include PACT (Parents and the Community Together) and Sponsor Refugees.

The Living Wage is a movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The real Living Wage is an independently-calculated hourly rate based on the cost of living and announced each November during Living Wage Week, our annual celebration of a growing network of over 8,500 Living Wage Employers.

The Living Wage Foundation celebrates employers that voluntarily choose to pay the real Living Wage through an accreditation scheme that recognises a long-term commitment to fair pay and has secured pay rises for 280,000 low paid workers.

Living Wage Places

The Living Wage Places scheme is pioneering a collaborative, place-based approach to tackling in-work poverty. Local action groups made up of public and private sector Living Wage Employers, work together with charities, unions and civil society on a three-year action plan to tackle local in-work poverty and grow the number of employers committed to the Living Wage.

Since the scheme launched three years ago we have recognised four cities: Dundee, Cardiff, Salford and Bristol; one town – Glenrothes in Fife, and two London boroughs – Southwark and Islington, for their ambition to make Living Wage Places. We are currently working with a further seven places across the UK, including ambitious plans in London and Greater Manchester to work with Metro Mayors, civil society and business partners to create Living Wage City Regions.

Living Wage Places taps into the power of place, recognising and developing local champions within our network and supports them to engage and influence their community’s employers. It feeds into broader local economic plans such as community wealth building and local anchor institution work.

Purpose

Trust for London have committed to invest £4.8m to make London a Living Wage City over the next four years, in order to lift 50,000 people out of in-work poverty and secure £635m of additional wages for Londoners. This will boost our capacity to organise workers and communities, engage and accredit employers, and further build the profile and support for our biggest campaign. It will add capacity to our community organising, accreditation and comms teams, and will enable us to set up exciting cross-team collaboration seeking to:

• Develop leaders - 800 workers and leaders from communities in deprived areas building their power to make change, and 20,000 people engaged in the Living Wage movement.

• Strengthen institutions - 135 civil society institutions engaged and 1,600 employers joining the Living Wage movement.

• Make change - win £635m of increased pay, lifting 48,000 people onto the real Living Wage and 10,000 people benefitting from Living Hours.

The growth of the Living Wage Places scheme and in particular our work in London and Greater Manchester has opened up an opportunity to expand our team and invest in our capacity to develop and connect the Living Wage Places network and its collective learning.

This new role will allow the Foundation to conduct wide-ranging analysis of the impact of our Living Wage Places scheme, draw out collective learning from the Living Wage Places network and create events and communication materials that expand our impact and thought leadership.
