Working alongside three Fossil Free Campaigners at Platform - and partners at Friends of the Earth Scotland - you will build on the strengths and learnings of past years to lead the strategic development of this important programme of work, incorporating UK Divest, Fossil Free Parliament, fossil free sports work, and new pensions work.
Our fossil free campaign is also inextricably tied to other movements for social justice. We are specifically seeking someone to develop the international solidarity potential of this work, understanding how fossil fuels are intertwined with the defence industry, colonialism, and global extraction more broadly. We want to target investment in and political support for fossil fuel companies because we believe it is intricately linked to broader global justice, such as the UK Government’s role in supporting destructive energy projects worldwide. The best divestment and anti-fossil fuel campaigning has been, and your future work will be, informed by and responsive to the BDS movement, the Global Energy Embargo for Palestine and anti-apartheid and arms trade work.
As a permanent member of Platform staff, you will also participate in the collective decision-making and running of Platform as an organisation, as well as having fundraising responsibilities alongside your project work.

About Platform
Extractive energy, food and financial systems are driving climate breakdown, the defining issue of our time. At Platform, we’re tackling this by exposing who owns and controls these systems, mobilising impacted communities and envisioning sustainable and socially just alternatives.
Drawing on Platform’s unique 40-year history, our team of campaigners, researchers and artists are working across the UK to transform the political, cultural and social conditions in which polluting industries operate.
What we are looking for
You are an experienced campaigner and organiser, with experience in inter/national campaigns, and a track record of developing impactful strategies with strong theories of change. You thrive on movement building and supporting networks of activists to do their best work. You have strong connections in climate and social justice movements at large.
You understand how change happens, and are experienced in practical approaches that secure small but consistent wins. You understand how political institutions work, particularly local councils and/or UK and Scottish Parliament. You may have experience in insider advocacy, and have worked with policymakers to make change happen. Ideally, you also have a working understanding of how financial institutions such as pension schemes support the fossil fuel industry.
You are deeply motivated by Platform’s visions and values, and feel enthusiastic at the prospect of operating within a flat-structured organisation. You have a strong understanding of climate justice in relation to a wider context of capitalism and white supremacy.
You are interested in creative campaigning that makes use of arts and culture, and have a strong track record of developing trusting relationships. You have experience engaging with press media in a strategic way.

Cancer52
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
£65,000 - £70,000
Permanent, full-time
Remote with the ability to convene meetings and events in London and elsewhere
Cancer52 is a national organisation, created in 2007 by Professor Sir Mike Richards, CBE, then National Clinical Director for Cancer, and registered as a charity in England and Wales in September 2017.
We are an exceptional organisation, providing one voice for all those affected by rare and less common cancers. Historically, these cancers have been underrepresented and under-funded. Today, they represent 47% of people diagnosed with cancer, but 55% of all cancer deaths – a hidden majority. Cancer52’s aim is to change this by taking the collective voice of our members to those who influence cancer policy, research, services and treatment.
Cancer52 is recognised for its strong convening role, bringing together our 115 member charities with organisations in industry, government, the NHS and other stakeholders to address the inequalities faced by patients with rare and less common cancers. Our reputation is strong and we are in a unique position to provide a common voice for these underrepresented cancers. The figures for people with these cancers are challenging and there is much work to do.
After a hugely successful tenure during which Cancer52’s size and influence has grown dramatically, our current CEO is retiring from full time work in July. The Board of Trustees is now seeking to appoint a successor to build on the successes and achievements of recent years.
To be our next Chief Executive, you will be a talented leader, able to motivate and empower others and develop strong internal and external stakeholder relationships. You will also be an inspiring and authentic individual who is passionate, confident and engaging as the key spokesperson of the organisation and a representative of the diverse Cancer52 membership.
You will be capable of influencing decisions at senior levels of government, in the NHS and in partner organisations operating in the fields of cancer research, prevention, diagnosis and treatment. As our Chief Executive, your role is to be a key proponent of the campaigning and influencing drive of the charity, setting the overall strategy and vision for the organisation.
In addition to the core management competencies required, the role requires demonstrable leadership which will inspire others, along with a comprehensive understanding of Cancer52’s purpose and the problems faced by those charities and organisations representing the rare and less common cancer communities.
Effective networking will be a key skill set, and will enable you to actively seek out, engage and establish productive relationships with political decision makers, NHS leadership and charity CEOs to further our goals. Your approach will be collaborative, motivating stakeholders to engage with our work.
Success will be achieved through collective effort, but what will also be fundamental to the achievement of our ambitions will be funding. Going forward, and alongside our influencing work, you will be seeking out the funding opportunities that deliver a sustainable financial future and enable us to increase our impact.
Cancer52 is committed to creating an inclusive environment, promoting equality, valuing diversity, and combating unfair treatment in recruitment. We want to make sure that we always recruit the best person for the job in a way that is fair and equitable and demonstrates our commitment to valuing diversity at all stages of the recruitment process.
