Job Details
The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) is an independent think-tank, established to put social justice at the heart of British politics. Moved by shocking levels of disadvantage across the nation, it studies the root causes of Britain’s acute social problems in partnership with its Alliance of over 350 grassroots charities and people affected by poverty. This enables the CSJ to find and promote evidence-based, experience-led solutions to change lives and transform communities. The CSJ believes that the surest way to reverse social breakdown – and the poverty it creates – is to build resilience within individuals, families and the innovative organisations able to help them.
We are currently recruiting for an enthusiastic, ambitious individual to join the policy team on a six month fixed-term contract to start immediately. The role is ideally suited to an individual looking to gain experience in a social policy setting and will be working closely with members of our policy team.
We require:
• A degree 2.1 or above
• Administrative experience and/or willingness to learn
• Excellent Microsoft Office skills
• Voluntary experience in an area relevant to the CSJ
• Interest in politics and the work of the CSJ
