Location: London office, with an optional hybrid model, but expected to be in the office at least two days a week. Open to remote working if based in one of our target regions (North East or South Wales)- feel free to enquire. The job will require UK-based travel for event preparation and delivery (more details in job description)
Why this role is important – and why you’ll make a difference doing it:
HOPE not hate is the UK’s leading anti-fascist organisation. Our mission is simple: To monitor and challenge the far right, to engage in the communities that are susceptible to them and to address the issues and policies which give rise to them.
The 2024 summer riots laid clear the susceptibility within communities for far-right narratives. Locally, many stakeholders are struggling with providing alternatives that combat this framing.
As part of our wider community resilience work, we will be hosting a series of community events across the country, with the aim of celebrating local identity, strengthening social connection and boosting resilience to far-right agitation. We have a history of planning these events in the communities that need them the most, for example in Bradford.
About the role
The Events Administrators (X2) will be assisting our Community Outreach Officer to deliver community events across the country in our target areas, at the end of May/beginning of June. This includes 4 confirmed events in Southport, Sunderland, Wigan and Port Talbot, with the potential for lighter-touch facilitation to support volunteer-run events in up to 5 more areas.
This role will involve frequent travel to our target areas to meet with local partners. Willingness to work with a variety of stakeholders is important. The role will include liaising with local authorities, national and local organisations and grassroots community activists to deliver the events. An understanding that communities and community groups are the experts on their own needs is crucial – solutions should be developed with, not for, those most impacted.
Key responsibilities
- Work with the Community Outreach Officer to develop and deliver from start to finish a number of community events in target areas across the country.
- Help to identify and maintain strong working relationships with event contributors, ensuring a diverse range of local stakeholders are involved in organisation.
- Ensure all event logistics are handled professionally, on time, and within budget, including contributions from external partners and local community stakeholders.
- Act as the key point of contact for external suppliers and venues.
- Contribute to the design, production and delivery of event advertisement material.
- Ensure events meet all accessibility requirements.
- Assist the Community Outreach Officer in proactively tracking and monitoring event expenditure and income.
- Regularly travel to target areas to meet local stakeholders involved in event design.
- Participate in delivering the events.
General Responsibilities
- Maintain and promote the mission of HOPE not hate.
- Uphold HOPE not hate’s values when working with communities, stakeholders and colleagues.
- Participate in events and activities to showcase the work of HOPE not hate
- Attend agreed supervision and review meetings with your line manager.
- Identify and undertake other duties as appropriate to this role.
Skills requirements
- Experience of in-person design, delivery and/or management of events of more than 100 people
- Effective stakeholder management skills, particularly experience of working with local community or grassroots organisations
- Ability to work with budgets and track income and expenditure for a variety of activities simultaneously.
- Strong organisational and administrative skills, with attention to detail.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills, with ability to discuss sensitive and emotive issues in tense environments.
- Self-sufficient, with the ability to independently find solutions to problems as and when they arise.

The primary functions of the PR and Communications Officer role will be to contribute to the organisation’s media advocacy by working with colleagues to ideate, develop and publish compelling messaging and narratives around the organisation’s research and advocacy, and by delivering the day-to-day duties of the press office. Another key function of the role is to edit and proofread content generated by colleagues, including reports, blogs and other materials. A smaller share of the role is dedicated to carrying out and supporting with day-to-day “core” communications work, such as maintaining content on our website and contributing to our content planner. These general communications duties are flexibly shared across the communications team to enable team members to support each other’s workloads.
The PR and Communications Officer will be part of the communications team at the Tax Justice Network which is led by the Head of Communications, who this post will report into, and includes the Content and Communications Officer, the Creative Strategist/Podcaster and the Podcast Producer. The team leads and delivers the Tax Justice Network’s communications, including the organisation’s media work, blog, website, social media and newsletters.
The communications team is a busy team in a fast moving and agile organisation. The communications team works closely with teams, individuals and partners across the organisation, supporting the planning, development and publication of all external outputs. Therefore, you need to be self-reliant and a top multi-tasker, who enjoys independent writing as well as supporting colleagues with developing and polishing their work into the best possible shape. You will need to be able to provide constructive feedback to colleagues on their work in an encouraging and respectful manner that helps develop skillsets. Given the nature of the work, you will need to have an exceptional eye for detail.
The Tax Justice Network is a virtual organisation with all the team working remotely. You therefore need to be self-motivated and comfortable working alone. Alongside being thorough, diligent and independent you should have strength and confidence to judge when to reach out to colleagues to assist and support.
