The Cotswold Liberal Democrats have been one of the most successful and resilient Lib Dem local parties over the past decade.

We’ve got an energetic, enthusiastic and competent team who’ve driven winning electoral campaigns culminating in May 2019 where we took control of Cotswold District Council from the Conservatives for the first time. We’re looking to build on that success!

Our organiser needs to be outgoing, organised, versatile and have a passion for political campaigning. The election campaign will be intense and demanding but we promise you’ll have fun and make friends.

You’ll also take a lead on digital campaigning which has become even more important with the COVID-19 pandemic.
