Introduction

Iswe is a social impact foundation dedicated to finding ways to put people at the heart of social and political decision-making to solve some of society’s greatest challenges. 

We are seeking a motivated, resourceful and conscientious Front-End Developer to join our small digital product team, working on Assemblis - a hugely ambitious global platform to strengthen community-led decision-making - as it moves from a working prototype to a fully fledged product used by community groups worldwide. We are looking for some eager to have an impact, both on the product they are building and on the world.

The period from 2025 to 2026 presents a unique opportunity to scale the use and impact of Assemblis around the COP30 UN Climate Conference—set to take place in the Amazon at the end of 2025—by leveraging strategic relationships, including key support from the Brazilian government.

About Assemblis

Assemblis will support communities across the world to run community gatherings, deliberate on shared challenges, and make collective decisions. The platform combines step-by-step guidance, storytelling features and data aggregation, enabling community groups to deliberate meaningfully, share their insights and connect with each other.  Our vision:

A world of resilient local communities that have the tools and confidence to make fair, effective decisions, through community assemblies that facilitate learning, build solidarity and have clear pathways to local and global action.

Assemblis will support people to deliberate on challenges and act together in their communities, whilst building a global picture of citizen needs, actions and solutions, which will inform global decision making. One of the ways it will do this is through the Global Citizens’ Assembly - a permanent institution that Iswe and partners are building.

A Global Citizens’ Assembly for COP30 to be launched in Brazil in November is the key opportunity to pilot Assemblis. We are currently testing a minimum viable product (functional prototype) with small sets of global users, and are looking for someone who can lead the iteration process, with the goal of an alpha launch in Climate Week in September.

XLP is a youth work charity that doesn’t flinch in the face of challenge. We’re here for young people growing up in communities where poverty, exclusion and lack of opportunity too often shape the odds. Our work with young people aged 11 to 25 is long-term, rooted in relationships and built to last.

We’ve got big plans and we need the fundraising power to match. Our vision is to grow XLP’s impact across London by building a fundraising engine that’s ambitious, strategic and fit for a medium-sized charity. This role is about making that leap to unlocking major new income streams.

That means bold action. It means going after bigger grants, attracting larger gifts and shaping a sharp, strategic approach to long-term income growth. It means helping build and lead a strong, values-driven fundraising team with the drive and determination to go the distance. You’ll bring precision, persistence and the skill to turn complex work into compelling funding applications.

You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll be part of a supportive, driven team and you’ll get stuck into a wide range of fundraising activity that gives you insight, experience and real influence.

This is about making a difference. If you want to help reshape the future for thousands of young people, this is your chance.
