Access to Healthcare Organiser at Migrants Organise

The Access to Healthcare Organiser will help shape Migrants Organise’s strategy to grow an organised refugee and migrant movement as part of the PNP campaign, alongside our partners at Medact, in order to bring about systemic change to end the hostile and racist immigration system in the NHS. Their work will include identifying, recruiting and supporting migrant community organisers and to facilitate their participation in the Patients Not Passports campaign, as well as supporting migrant movement builders to organise, lead and deliver organised and effective social justice actions locally, regionally and nationally.

The Access to Healthcare Organiser will play an integral role in organising and mobilising members and supporters, specifically working with members who have faced NHS charging, refusal of and racism in healthcare, and will create spaces, skills and opportunities for them to build power, common ground, trust and organise through actions, in solidarity on strategic, systemic change for dignity and justice.

The Access to Healthcare Organiser will continue to build a powerful network of health workers, campaigners and people currently experiencing the hostile system, engaged in long-term organising to build long-term power from the bottom up.

We are looking for an Organiser who believes in freedom and justice for all and the universal right to health, with the skills, initiative and interest to work with the team to continue to grow the Patients Not Passports campaign in a changing political environment, and the ability to facilitate power building, action in pursuit of long-term structural change.
