Job Details

We Own It is a not-for-profit organisation which makes the case against privatisation and for public ownership. We believe people's lives would be better if the needs of communities came before profit for shareholders.

We show that public ownership is needed across public services, from railways to water, from care work to the NHS. We campaign to win victories against privatisation and share our message online and in the media.

We Own It is a small organisation (five members of staff) with a big mission. You'll get to work at the heart of a dynamic campaigning organisation, help it grow and develop your skills.

We're looking for an enthusiastic, organised Campaigner to work 4 days a week, developing strategic campaigns and making the case for public ownership. You’ll need to be highly self-motivated and willing to drive forward campaigns at every stage to win victories. You'll have the opportunity to lead on campaigns you're passionate about and come up with new ideas.

We're looking for someone with excellent communication skills, who will enjoy building relationships to boost our supporter base, networks and impact. You'll also need to be happy to carry out a variety of basic tasks and be flexible about your role.
