Senior Community Organiser at Act Build Change

The senior community organiser will lead in designing and delivering our transformative organising training and coaching to an excellent standard. You will ensure we are building new partnerships, growing our membership and recruiting new leaders to our community. You will support teams and collectives on the ground to shape their strategy and win local and national victories across the country. You will work closely with the team to ensure our training and events are well attended, of quality and that we continue to work closely with communities experiencing oppression. 

This is a hands-on role. Every week you’ll design and facilitate workshops, coach organisers nationwide (online and in person) and participate in actions and campaigns. You are someone who has worked as an organiser for at least five years. You have won campaigns, learnt from your losses and have been able to raise money as an organiser. You may already be familiar with trauma-informed approaches to organising, and practicing collective care in an organising context. If this part of the work is new, we will support your development in these practices.

You will be our in-house training expert and keep abreast of the best in community organising. You will support us in learning how we support people to scale their organising efforts and develop content to meet those needs. You will do 1-to-1s regularly with our community and partners and build relationships across the UK.

Act Build Change is an important contributor to the discipline of organising. We want to continue being an effective and important partner for communities, movements and collectives. You will build relationships with those in the field of organising, recognising and respecting effective work and not undermining or duplicating efforts. You will be part of a team that is committed to what they do, care for each other and our accountability to the mission of the organisation.
