Information Worker Jobs

Hybrid working - one day a month at War on Want’s head office, 44-48 Shepherdess Walk, London N1 7JP; more in-person days required on an ad-hoc basis.

War on Want works to challenge the root causes of poverty, inequality and injustice through partnership with social movements in the Global South and by running hard-hitting campaigns in the UK in support of radical change. 

Our economic justice work focuses on developing policies and campaigns that press for meaningful change on issues related to the global economy. We have focused on campaigns for a living wage, and on the protection of workers’ rights in corporate global supply chains, we also work to hold corporations to account by exposing their abuse of the tax system. We believe the global economic system underpins the multiple crises of poverty, inequality, injustice and climate breakdown, rigged to benefit rich elites and profit-driven corporate interests. Our economic justice work is now focused on developing campaigns on tax, trade and debt justice as measures to transform economic policies to redistribute power and wealth for the benefit of the majority.

In recent years, War on Want has increasingly focused on the climate crisis as the most pressing ethical and political issue of our time. It is a crisis that is deeply connected to rising inequality, poverty and injustice, disproportionately impacting the world’s poorest and most marginalised. We have worked closely with allies and in coalitions to draw attention to the need for a radical, interconnected and ambitious transformation, by calling for a radical Global Green New Deal, recognising that policies and proposals to reduce global warming will only work if they are coupled with measures to fix the global economy, to reduce poverty and inequality, and to work towards a just transition for all. We see these crises as intersectional, and directly linked to our work on economic justice.

We are looking for a skilled campaigner with knowledge and experience of working on economic justice issues and on related global justice issues. The role will focus on delivering our ongoing policy and campaigning including its interlinkages with climate justice.

This project will work with long-term unemployed people and those from the probation service (Brighton) and 18-25 year olds who are far from education, employment or training (Guildford) to provide the support they need to successfully secure and sustain meaningful employment.

The project will work with 60 Trainees a year across the 2 depots and will provide an integrated, person-centred employment service for the long-term unemployed in Sussex and Surrey. The project will be designed based upon the best practice currently within and external to the FareShare Network.

In each element, Trainees will receive a tailored programme of 1-2-1 and group support. Activities will include coaching Trainees in important work skills and supporting them through the processes of searching for, securing and sustaining employment. Each Trainee will be taken through an assessment process to identify what is required to support them to secure sustainable employment. An individual development plan will be created for each Trainee. This will also include developing links to employers and educational establishments to source employment and progression opportunities for Trainees.

Creating and managing partnerships with other local community assets to bring wellbeing services into the regional centre or encourage, support and enable Trainees to access additional wellbeing support in the community will also be vital to the success of the programme. Each Trainee will have a limited personal development budget to engage with other services.

Trainees will be engaged in utilising strength and asset based approaches and the aims of the project encompass improving Trainee wellbeing and personal development in addition to skills training and the overarching aim of enabling Trainees to secure employment.
