ABOUT THE JO COX FOUNDATION

The Jo Cox Foundation was established in 2016 by the friends and family of the late Jo Cox MP. The Foundation exists to build a positive legacy for Jo and to create something positive from the tragedy that was her murder. Just as Jo did, we believe in working together effectively with individuals and organisations that share the belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.

Our mission is to build stronger communities, a better public life and a fairer world in Jo’s name. To date, our campaigns and initiatives have addressed a broad range of issues including tackling loneliness, reducing abuse and intimidation in public life and preventing atrocities in conflict-affected countries. No one day is ever the same as the next!

We are a close-knit, passionate and dedicated team. Whilst we work hard, it’s incredibly important to us that we have fun and look after ourselves and each other too.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Campaign Manager will lead on the delivery of the Foundation’s flagship community building event, the Great Get Together (GGT). Since the first GGT in 2017, we’ve been joined by over 20 million people coming together in their communities to celebrate what they have in common. The GGT is a key element of the Foundation’s Moment to Movement project, showing how the ‘spark’ of an event can lead to long-term community engagement. 

You will lead on the delivery of the summer GGT, with a focus on bringing communities together, and the festive Great Winter Get Together, which addresses loneliness. Your role will involve project planning, building relationships with partners, and ensuring we’re showing the impact of the work that we do. 

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone who is engaged, enthusiastic, and happy to work both as part of a team, but also on their own initiative. Excellent project management skills are a must, as is experience of building relationships with key stakeholders. At campaign times the work is fast paced, so you’ll be confident in prioritising your workload and making effective, timely decisions.

In addition, you will have strongly held personal values which align with The Jo Cox Foundation’s vision and Jo’s ‘more in common’ ethos. These will be reflected in your respect for others and the desire to make a truly positive contribution through your work.

Please find a full person specification on our website. If you’re unsure whether you’re right for this role, please get in touch and we can discuss further.

The Jo Cox Foundation is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity to ensure that we reflect the full breadth of people we aim to support and are able to fulfil our vision of a kinder, more compassionate society where every individual has a sense of belonging. We recognise that our team does not currently reflect a diverse range of life-experiences and perspectives. Currently, people from Black communities, people from minority ethnic communities and people who have a disability are underrepresented in our organisation. We would therefore particularly welcome applications from these groups.

The Jo Cox Foundation is an equal opportunities employer and we actively encourage applicants from people of all backgrounds. We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion both within our staff team and our community programmes.
