Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Citizens UK Full time

Employment Type: Full time 37.5 hours per week/ 18-month fix term contract

Location: Hybrid · Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

Salary: Starting from £29,071 (GBP)

Closing: 10:00am, 26th Apr 2024 BST

Citizens UK

We are Citizens UK. We’re working together to make change on the issues that matter, from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign.

We bring together everyday people and local organisations to build a better, fairer society. Too often communities are left out of decisions that affect their lives, but we know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We develop local leaders who find solutions to problems big and small and hold power-holders to account.

We work with hundreds of civil society organisations, who we call our members - schools, universities, faith groups, charities, unions and more - to help them win change. Over the last 30 years, we’ve worked in alliance with 500+ members, trained 4,000+ community leaders, accredited 13,000 Living Wage employers, and won hundreds of campaigns.

Our Migrants and Refugees Organising (MaRO) team is mainly made up of community organisers from diaspora, refugee, and formerly undocumented backgrounds. They collaborate with local civic organisations and migrant leaders, using community organising to achieve national change.

Purpose

Our immigration and system is too long, too expensive, and fundamentally unfair. The often multi-decade journey towards citizenship leaves people broken and less capable of flourishing as part of their communities.

We firmly believe that migrants possess the capacity to build substantial power, enabling them to achieve social justice for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Citizens UK’s Migrant and Refugee Organising (MaRO) team is looking for the right person to learn the craft of Community Organising under the guidance of an experienced Community Organiser. Community Organising focuses on the building of relational power, the identification and development of leaders to strengthen the local institutions that make up the fabric of society, support leads to take public actions in order to win systemic change.

NB We particularly encourage those who have been through the immigration system themselves or their families

Main Responsibilities

Working as an Associate Organiser at Migrant and Refugee Organising, Citizens UK your main responsibilities will include:

Contribute towards the goals of the Migrant and Refugee Organising team

-Build relationships with people who have experience of the immigration system or who may be important allies, speaking to at least 3 people per day through 121 conversations.

-Work to build a team of 10-15 leaders, including those with lived experience of the immigration system, in Tyne & Wear to create change

-Conduct 121s to develop relationships with leaders and understand their concerns.

-Tell a wide range of Community Organising stories effectively to influence others and achieve Citizens UK’s goals

Identify and develop relational leaders prepared to act with others for the common good

-Identify and discern actual and potential leaders with the passion and ability to drive change

-Proactively create opportunities for leaders to develop, in particular tertiary or new leaders; nominate them for training on the core taster curriculum

-Successfully deliver training workshops in local institutions and on the core taster curriculum at a local level

Strengthen institutions and develop BBOs

-Ensure good understanding of the basic interests and traditions of typical member institutions

-Organise with leaders from different kinds of institution to work together for the achievement of common goals

-Support pre-existing core teams and create/develop new core teams to provide leadership at institutional and cluster levels

-Work with a senior organiser to recruit local institutions into membership of Citizens UK, especially those with migrant demographics and concerns
