We have a fantastic opportunity for someone with relationship management and/or campaigns experience to join our Partnerships & Campaigns team. We are looking for someone who is able to build strategic relationships across the private, public and voluntary sectors and who is highly organised and motivated to achieve results.
Citizens UK
Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.
Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.
Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage is a movement of businesses, organisations and people who believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. The real Living Wage is an independently-calculated hourly rate based on the cost of living and announced each October ahead of Living Wage Week, our annual celebration of a growing network of over 15,000 Living Wage Employers.
The Living Wage Foundation celebrates employers that voluntarily choose to pay the real Living Wage through an accreditation scheme that recognises a long-term commitment to fair pay and has secured pay rises for 475,000 low paid workers. Over recent years, the Living Wage Foundation has built on the success of the real Living Wage by creating new responsible employment standards – Living Hours and Living Pension – for those employers who want to go further and provide the security workers need now and in the future.
Our culture is driven by our six organisational values: Solidarity, Kindness, Courage, Integrity, Inclusion, and Relational. You can read more here.
Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.
Purpose
We have a fantastic opportunity for someone with relationship management and/or campaigns experience to join our Partnerships & Campaigns team. We are looking for someone who is able to build strategic relationships across the private, public and voluntary sectors and who is highly organised and motivated to achieve results.
The Partnerships & Campaigns manager will be responsible for managing key sectoral campaigns and initiatives, initially this role would focus on the Recognised Service Provider scheme and the Cleaning and Security campaign as part of the Making London a Living Wage City initiative, with the expectation of later working with other organisations and industries that we identify as we develop our national campaigning approach such as Sports, Planning, Construction and Procurement.
The ideal candidate would be someone who has managed relationships with senior individuals in the private, public or third sector and understands the importance of excellent relationship management and how to build and grow engagement through partnership working.
As we develop the campaigning remit of the Living Wage Foundation, we would also value applications from candidates who have a campaigns background and are able to think creatively about the levers and tactics required to develop and execute exciting and participatory campaigns.
The role will be expected to work collaboratively across the Living Wage Foundation and Citizens UK, collaborating with community organisers and engaging community leaders and workers in campaigns.

The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) is prospectively recruiting a small number of Mobility Programme Grant Assessors to join an existing assessment team for a flagship outward education and training mobility programme which enables learners in schools, colleges and universities to access international study and work opportunities and delivers transformative opportunities for individuals and communities across the UK.
The ACU works with a network of external assessors to assess applications and appeals from institutions in the Schools, Further Education/Vocational Education and Training and Higher Education sectors in the UK and British Overseas Territories. This is a unique opportunity to make a major contribution to a leading global mobility programme. We are awaiting confirmation that the programme will operate in Academic Year 2025/26 and are recruiting in order to be ready should the programme go ahead. Should the programme be withdrawn, no assessors will be needed.
We are currently seeking assessors for the Schools and Further Education/Vocational Education and Training sectors only.

Assessors will each be required to commit to the equivalent of approximately 2 - 2.5 days’ assessment work (16-20 hours) per week throughout the 6-week assessment window, which we anticipate will take place in April and May 2025 (subject to confirmation). This equates to 4 applications in one day (i.e. 8 applications over 2 days, 10 applications over 2.5 days). Assessors will be paid £380 for each full day of completed assessments (4 applications) or a pro-rated amount for each assessment (quarter day). This rate is inclusive of feedback consolidation and of any supplementary review or reassessment that may be needed as the result of a quality check or moderation.
Additional assessment days within the assessment window may be offered to those with capacity to do more, depending on the number of funding applications received. We also reserve the right to appoint reserve assessors in case of substantially increased demand. Being appointed is no guarantee of any paid work.
