Compass is looking to recruit a Political and Campaigns Organiser as we enter an exciting new period for UK politics.
To grow our network and influence, we are looking to power up our organising, particularly by running impactful events. The Political and Campaigns Organiser will work with the Compass campaigns team to support our national campaigns for electoral reform and public ownership of water. They will also work with Compass’ organising team to support our network of local groups and to contribute to our organising across all progressive parties and in particular within the Labour Party.
They will contribute to our full organising programme, but with particular responsibility for events and working with our local groups. They should be comfortable working flexibly in a small, lively team and with groups with different perspectives.
This role involves:
* Growing, building and coordinating our local groups network across England and supporting their local campaigns.
* Working with the organising team and the local groups to strategise, plan and coordinate actions.
* Working with the whole Compass team to deliver events. We run a range of events throughout the year, from our big event Change: HOW?, our Annual Gathering, our panel events at party conferences and festivals to smaller events like our online party group meetings and briefings on our reports.
* Engaging and activating Compass’ member and supporter base through local groups and organising to maximise our impact, with a view to attracting and energising younger activists.
* Supporting the delivery of effective and creative campaigns - including supporting the campaigns team in writing copy and sending mailouts.
