We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

Applications close at: Thursday 14th November 2024 11:59 hours

This post, due to its nature, duties and responsibilities, will be subject to an enhanced check by the DBS. This is funded by Myaware UK.

We need a highly skilled, experienced and determined Campaign Manager to lead and grow a team of professionals and volunteers to win the support of the people of Cardiff. You will also work with the wider Wales Green Party to help build the Green vote across the nation.

The 2024 UK general election saw the Green Party make great strides forward, electing a group of 4 Green MPs to Westminster for the first time and becoming the clear choice for voters looking for a positive alternative to the tired old parties and their dispiriting offer of managed decline, and no real hope or real change.

The General Election showed increasingly widespread support for the Green Party in Wales, and especially Cardiff. With the coming change to the Senedd’s electoral system, it is essential that Greens take the opportunity to gain seats in the Welsh Parliament. You will lead the campaign and team that makes it happen.

You will have excellent strategic and tactical nous, and the ability to build strong relationships in a complex environment across national, constituency and local levels. And of course, you will know what it takes to persuade voters to support our lead candidate.

This is a full-time role (35 hours per week), mainly Cardiff based with some hybrid working from home. It is fixed term until the end of July 2026.

Being responsible for recruiting and delivering best practice training to new Membership Fundraisers, you will recruit, select and induct new team members and build their capabilities through initiating buddy shifts and delivering support visits, using leadership models such as root cause analysis, setting SMART work objectives and implementing Situational Leadership to build capabilities.

Area Managers are expected to be role models and consistently demonstrate and uphold standards and values-led behaviours.

As part of this role, you will be expected to travel to different locations in the central belt of Scotland and on occasions more widely throughout the surrounding areas in order to support your team, for which a company van will be provided, and associated expenses covered.
