About the organisation

Sortition Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2017 to build a movement for permanent, powerful citizens’ assemblies. It generates income by delivering professional sortition services to governments, civil society, and organisations like the Global Assembly, using surplus funds to campaign for a democracy fit for the 21st century. We are structured as a workers' co-operative. The values that guide our goals are Social Justice and Collective Wisdom and the values that guide our culture are curiosity, care, and courage. We have a small but growing team across the UK, Australia, and the EU.

About the project

In 2024, the Sortition Foundation launched the 858 Project to mark 858 years since King Henry II introduced juries in the UK. Juries have proven essential to our legal system, and now it's time to put ordinary people at the heart of politics with permanent, powerful citizens' assemblies, starting in Greater Manchester.

The Sortition Foundation, alongside democracy movement allies, is campaigning for a permanent citizens' assembly (CA) in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester's governance is flawed, with a mayoral authority backed by a small, indirectly elected Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), leaving residents with just one vote every four years. A permanent CA would address this deficit by giving people a voice and holding leaders accountable. A CA would not only benefit Manchester but strengthen the Mayor’s decision-making and boost the region’s influence. As metro mayors expand nationwide, this campaign sets a powerful precedent, positioning Manchester as a leader in democratic reform.

About the role

The Sortition Foundation and its allies already have over 10,000 registered supporters in Greater Manchester—your job is to use a transformative organising approach to activate them and grow this base even more! You’ll help get people along to the campaign launch in the spring, then work with active supporters to use door-knocking and other methods to bring people together to demand greater democracy in Greater Manchester. Crucially, you’ll collaborate with individual supporters and community groups to develop a shared vision for the specific powers and responsibilities of the citizens' assembly, then use a series of escalating tactics to collectively lobby the Mayor and GMCA. You’ll be strategically and emotionally supported by the campaigns director and work as part of a small, crack team, including the head of press, head of public affairs, and digital campaigner, covering press, messaging, digital supporter acquisition and building relationships with organisations, institutions, and influential individuals across Greater Manchester.

Responsibilities

  • Take a transformative approach to organising the campaign, aiming not only to win real change but also to shift the balance of power in the region and enhance supporters’ understanding of their ability to create collective change.

  • Deliver new supporter briefings both online and offline.

  • Collaborate with the Director of Campaigns to create a campaign strategy and base-building plan.

  • Work with supporters to use door-knocking, stalls and other methods for base building in Greater Manchester.

  • Develop the leadership capacity of supporters and support their political education.

  • Organise and facilitate ongoing local campaign meetings.

  • Facilitate campaign supporters in developing a shared vision for the permanent Citizens' Assembly in Greater Manchester and taking collective action to promote it.

  • Collaborate with Sortition Foundation’s campaigns team to identify key moments for the campaign and secure local press coverage.

  • Work with the campaigns team on campaign messaging and framing

Essential skills, experience and attributes 

  • A sophisticated and demonstrable understanding of power, political strategy and how they play out in government and society.

  • In-depth knowledge of key influential community groups and individuals across Greater Manchester.

  • Experience and willingness to use face-to-face methods, such as door-knocking, to bring people in and build support for a campaign.

  • Ability to use one-to-ones (121s) to identify leaders and build a supporter base.

  • Experience in training others in the basics of organising.

  • Strong communicator, able to make complex ideas easy to understand.

  • Experienced speaker and facilitator, comfortable in small groups or at large events.

  • Keen and thoughtful listener, with the ability to build coalitions and collaborate effectively across diverse communities 

  • Willingness to work flexible hours as required by the campaign strategy.

  • Able to self-motivate within a small team.

  • A commitment to Sortition Foundation’s social values of social justice and collective wisdom, as well as behavioural values of courage, curiosity and care.

Desirable skills, experience and attributes 

  • An understanding of “big organising” techniques. 

  • An understanding of sortition and deliberative democracy.

  • A background in campaigning or political activism in Greater Manchester and/or the North West.

The successful candidate will be highly organised, self-motivated and independent; everyone works from home with substantial freedom to choose their own hours.
