Who we are 
Peace Direct is an international charity with a big mission: to work with local people to stop violence and build sustainable peace in some of the world's most conflict affected countries. More than that, we want to change the international system so that it better supports the role that local people and communities play in preventing violence and building and sustaining peace.

About the role

This is an exciting new role, which will support a global campaign entirely led by local peacebuilders. Yes, that's right: not a campaign designed and delivered by us, but by local peacebuilders around the world. Our role at Peace Direct is to act as a secretariat and facilitator of the campaign, providing logistics support and guidance as required. Local peacebuilders will be in the driving seat. 

The Campaign Coordinator will work closely with a cohort of local peacebuilders around the world who will meet online regularly to identify the main problems experienced by them and others like them globally, as well as the potential solutions, which will lead to the development of key campaign messages. The role of the Campaign Coordinator is to ensure that the local peacebuilders have whatever they need to deliver an impactful global campaign.

This is not your typical campaigns role! You will be the support team, not leading or directing the campaign but helping a diverse group of passionate activists to coalesce around a set of campaign messages. Key activities include:

• ​Engaging with existing campaigns led by Global South actors and networks to develop an inclusive process for identifying local peacebuilders to form a ‘global campaign team’
• Designing a selection process to recruit 8-10 local peacebuilders as the campaign team
• Developing a campaign co-creation process, enabling the campaign team to identify the problems in the peacebuilding system, explore solutions, and craft campaign messages
• Identify and work closely with a creative agency to support the visual identity and narrative formulation of the campaign
• Support all aspects of the implementation of the campaign, ensuring that it has global reach
• Provide regular ‘touch points’ for the campaign team to share ideas and brainstorm together
• Facilitate any training and coaching necessary for the campaign team
• Organising in-person events for the global campaign team to meet periodically and to participate in other global meetings

The ideal candidate will be a true campaigner, ideally with a lived experience of conflict, who will have a strong background in supporting national or international campaigns. You will have excellent project management and communication skills, strong written skills, excellent interpersonal and team working skills and will be highly organised. Fluency in a second language (French, Spanish or Arabic) would be a bonus.

This position can be based anywhere globally (so long as there is a reasonable internet connection!), and we strongly encourage campaigners from the Global South to apply. Due to the part time and flexible nature of the role, we expect the role to be a consultancy position.

Peace Direct strives to be a diverse and inclusive employer, with equality of opportunities regardless of personal identity, and we are committed to improving our systems and ways of working to support this, including creating a Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) working group, DEI strategy and recruitment guidelines. We strongly encourage individuals from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds to apply, including Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and people with mental health challenges.

Please note that we expect all applicants to complete a cover letter and an application form. CVs will not be accepted.

This role would best suit a candidate with experience of working in the third sector and of managing volunteers. 

We are currently a small team that is very supportive of flexible working, with a focus on delivering outcomes. This is a fixed-term contract, with the potential to extend if we are successful in obtaining further funding. This role is home-based but occasional travel to repair cafes across Wales may be expected.

ABOUT REPAIR CAFE WALES 

‘A society empowered to work together to reduce waste, share skills, and strengthen our communities’ 

Repair Cafe Wales is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company that opens and supports repair cafes across Wales. In their simplest form, repair cafés are pop up events where the local community can get their broken household items repaired for free by volunteers.  Repair cafés are started by residents, with our support, and run by the local community. 

We currently support a network of over 70 repair cafes but we are not stopping there! Our mission is to facilitate the opening of repair cafés in every town, village, city and suburb in Wales. We are focusing our energies on nurturing a cleaner, more sustainable world whilst our communities are inclusive and safe environments for people of all ages and backgrounds to share knowledge, skills, and to generally connect. 

We work for our communities to influence standards for goods and government policy, collect data from our community hubs, and help to inform policy decisions that promote a greener, more sustainable world. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 

• Manage the opening of ten repair cafes across Wales 

• Provide full oversight of the funding associated with this project, including the budget and targets 

• Complete all fund monitoring documents to a high standard 

• Manage and train volunteers 

• Work with the Operations Manager to identify areas for operational improvement 

• Plan and manage activities in accordance with agreed budgets, targets, and timescales

• Ensure that all activities are carried out in a manner which follows best practice, meets quality standards, legislation and health and safety requirements 

• Manage partnerships with a variety of stakeholders including third sector organisations, local authorities, education bodies, businesses, and community groups 

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIRED 

Previous experience 

• Experience of working in the third sector is essential 

• Experience of the management of public/charitable trust funded projects including producing project monitoring documents 

• Experience in financial administration and project management 

• Volunteer-management experience is essential  

Competencies 

• Competent in MS Office – particularly Word, Excel and Outlook

• A genuine commitment to the values and ethos of Repair Cafe Wales 

• Highly organised with excellent problem-solving skills 

• Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal 

• A flexible approach to dealing with tasks, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a busy environment 

Technical skills 

• Welsh language skills are desirable 

• Experience of sustainable initiatives or the circular economy is desirable 

VALUES  

Repair cafés are a fun, social way to combat the general frustration with wasted materials, resources and a loss of skills. It’s a community, a space for empowerment and the site of transformation where people’s relationships with their household items shift from consumer to owner. 

All employees, contractors and volunteers are required to operate in line with RCW’s core values: 

• Waste Reduction - Repair cafés help household items be used for longer rather than throwing them away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products. It cuts CO2 emissions by reusing instead of manufacturing new products. 

• Sharing Skills - By promoting a repairing culture and inviting each one of our visitors to sit with a volunteer repairer, repair cafés show appreciation for the people who have practical knowledge and ensure these valuable skills are getting passed on. 

• Community Cohesion - Repair cafés promote social cohesion in the community by connecting local residents from very different backgrounds and with different motives with each other through an inspiring and low-key event.

• Liaise regularly with relevant internal teams to ensure project objectives are achieved.
• Represent Migrant Help at external meetings or presentations about the project.
• Sharing with senior management new ideas or suggestions for improvements.
• Monitor the costs, budget and spend, working with the Deputy Director of Strategic Programmes.
