About the organisation

Sortition Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2017 to build a movement for permanent, powerful citizens’ assemblies. It generates income by delivering professional sortition services to governments, civil society, and organisations like the Global Assembly, using surplus funds to campaign for a democracy fit for the 21st century. We are structured as a workers' co-operative. The values that guide our goals are Social Justice and Collective Wisdom and the values that guide our culture are curiosity, care, and courage. We have a small but growing team across the UK, Australia, and the EU.

About the project

In 2024, the Sortition Foundation launched the 858 Project to mark 858 years since King Henry II introduced juries in the UK. Juries have proven essential to our legal system, and now it's time to put ordinary people at the heart of politics with permanent, powerful citizens' assemblies, starting in Greater Manchester.

The Sortition Foundation, alongside democracy movement allies, is campaigning for a permanent citizens' assembly (CA) in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester's governance is flawed, with a mayoral authority backed by a small, indirectly elected Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), leaving residents with just one vote every four years. A permanent CA would address this deficit by giving people a voice and holding leaders accountable. A CA would not only benefit Manchester but strengthen the Mayor’s decision-making and boost the region’s influence. As metro mayors expand nationwide, this campaign sets a powerful precedent, positioning Manchester as a leader in democratic reform.

About the role

The Sortition Foundation and its allies already have over 10,000 registered supporters in Greater Manchester—your job is to use a transformative organising approach to activate them and grow this base even more! You’ll help get people along to the campaign launch in the spring, then work with active supporters to use door-knocking and other methods to bring people together to demand greater democracy in Greater Manchester. Crucially, you’ll collaborate with individual supporters and community groups to develop a shared vision for the specific powers and responsibilities of the citizens' assembly, then use a series of escalating tactics to collectively lobby the Mayor and GMCA. You’ll be strategically and emotionally supported by the campaigns director and work as part of a small, crack team, including the head of press, head of public affairs, and digital campaigner, covering press, messaging, digital supporter acquisition and building relationships with organisations, institutions, and influential individuals across Greater Manchester.

Responsibilities

• Take a transformative approach to organising the campaign, aiming not only to win real change but also to shift the balance of power in the region and enhance supporters’ understanding of their ability to create collective change.

• Deliver new supporter briefings both online and offline.

• Collaborate with the Director of Campaigns to create a campaign strategy and base-building plan.

• Work with supporters to use door-knocking, stalls and other methods for base building in Greater Manchester.

• Develop the leadership capacity of supporters and support their political education.

• Organise and facilitate ongoing local campaign meetings.

• Facilitate campaign supporters in developing a shared vision for the permanent Citizens' Assembly in Greater Manchester and taking collective action to promote it.

• Collaborate with Sortition Foundation’s campaigns team to identify key moments for the campaign and secure local press coverage.

• Work with the campaigns team on campaign messaging and framing

Essential skills, experience and attributes 

• A sophisticated and demonstrable understanding of power, political strategy and how they play out in government and society.

• In-depth knowledge of key influential community groups and individuals across Greater Manchester.

• Experience and willingness to use face-to-face methods, such as door-knocking, to bring people in and build support for a campaign.

• Ability to use one-to-ones (121s) to identify leaders and build a supporter base.

• Experience in training others in the basics of organising.

• Strong communicator, able to make complex ideas easy to understand.

• Experienced speaker and facilitator, comfortable in small groups or at large events.

• Keen and thoughtful listener, with the ability to build coalitions and collaborate effectively across diverse communities 

• Willingness to work flexible hours as required by the campaign strategy.

• Able to self-motivate within a small team.

• A commitment to Sortition Foundation’s social values of social justice and collective wisdom, as well as behavioural values of courage, curiosity and care.

Desirable skills, experience and attributes 

• An understanding of “big organising” techniques. 

• An understanding of sortition and deliberative democracy.

• A background in campaigning or political activism in Greater Manchester and/or the North West.

The successful candidate will be highly organised, self-motivated and independent; everyone works from home with substantial freedom to choose their own hours.

Come and join Barnardo's, our purpose is clear - changing childhoods and changing lives, so that children, young people, and families are safe, happy, healthy and hopeful.

The Research and Evaluation team are a vital part of the new Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) directorate. The team provide excellent research and evaluation products and services for the charity - central to this work is the Outcomes Framework, our collaborative programme across disciplines to help us better evidence the impact of our work with children, young people and families.

We're looking for a new leader for our Research and Evaluation function. Our ideal candidate is someone who deeply understands and has experience of research and evaluation, and of leading the ongoing development of impact measurement frameworks, preferably in the field of children and young people.

This role reports to the Director of Digital, Data and Technology, and is a member of the DDaT leadership team.

This is a hybrid-working role, with an expectation that the majority of time will be spent working from home. Occasional attendance at Barnardo's offices and professional settings would be an expectation, as and when needed, to provide team leadership and direction, and contribute to the leadership of the directorate and wider charity. Whilst difficult to estimate, attendance in-person is likely to be no more than 2 or 3 days per month, averaged over the year.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values.  We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay. 

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours.  More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.

This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.

They are here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life. 

It’s only thanks to the generosity of supporters and donors that they can provide vital support.

This means they’re determined to create an equitable and inclusive workplace that benefits from the difference, and thrives on the diversity, of our people. Guided by an approach to solving inequity in stroke, the team are prioritising listening to, and learning from, lived experience across the charity.

The charity are working to improve the representation of this lived experience at all levels within the Association and are eager to recruit applicants from a variety of communities and backgrounds.
