Living Wage Campaign
Citizens UK
Full-time Monday – Friday

12 month fixed term contract with potential to extend.

PURPOSE
The Living Wage campaign was launched by London Citizens in 2001 and has won over £210 million in better pay for 45,000 low paid workers. The campaign aims to ensure low paid workers have enough money to get by and enough time for community and family life.

The Living Wage is an hourly rate calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK. Employers choose to pay the Living Wage on a voluntary basis. The Living Wage Foundation provides advice and support to employers interested in moving towards the Living Wage and recognises and celebrates Living Wage Employers through an accreditation programme.

You will be responsible for supporting the administration of the Living Wage campaign. This will include accreditation of Living Wage Employers, developing and maintaining information systems, administrative support and assistance with events and communications.

Training and support will be provided and you will be encouraged to develop new skills and initiatives within the Living Wage team.
