Membership Organiser at Living Rent

You will aim to involve more people in Living Rent at the local and national level, in order to build power in our communities and tenants’ power across Scotland. The role entails outreach (phonebanking, stalls, doorknocking), recruiting members, and retention and activation of existing members. 

Depending on the candidate, needs of the union and workload (FT/PT), the role may also include supporting members in a group or branch to organise meetings, grow in leadership and responsibilities, organise campaigns and take part in city-wide and national structures. 

We are looking for applicants who are passionate about building real people power and excited about the chance to work for a young, diverse and member-run organisation. Experience in recruitment, training delivery, community education or campaigns is welcome; however enthusiasm, willingness to learn and commitment to social justice are more important than previous experience as training will be provided. The roles may suit someone with experience in sales, street fundraising or other customer/public facing work, who wishes to move into organising. For the membership organiser, the role may also be adapted to have more desk work (phonebanking) depending on the needs of the candidate.
