We are a not-for-profit organisation campaigning for the UK to rapidly transition to 100% renewable energy and for this to benefit local communities.

We engage and mobilise public support for legislative and policy changes, focusing on Parliament and the Government.

In recent years we have had several successes (https://powerforpeople.org.uk/our-successes) and we have ambitious plans for more.

We seek a new team member, who is passionate about climate campaigning, to be part of our current work for legislation to enable dramatic growth in local renewable energy schemes.

We seek to see these provisions made law by any Parliamentary means available, such as amendments to a Government Bill. We are currently working with supportive MPs and Peers, including on building support for Early Day Motion 2151 ‘Buying community energy locally’.

We seek someone highly competent and organised, with high quality communication skills. Knowledge of campaigning and Parliamentary processes is not necessary, as we can train you in those areas.

You will work on a major Parliamentary campaign: engaging MPs and Peers, grassroots organising, managing public communications, fundraising, creating content and conducting research.

Your tasks each day and week will vary depending on evolving priorities. You must be an all-rounder, with an ability to switch between different work streams.

You will engage the public and mobilise supportive individuals, local groups and national organisations in advocating to their MPs. This will include drafting inspiring copy for supporter communications, our website, media releases and our social media accounts. It will likely include some travel to different parts of the UK.

Your communications will keep supporters up to date on the campaign and inspire them to take action. You will also provide them with tailored support for lobbying their MP.

You will work on raising and managing funds required for the above activities.

You will have the opportunity to extend your employment beyond six months, depending on your performance in the role and available funding.
