THE ORGANISATION

Founded in 2004, the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) is one of the UK’s most influential think tanks. We’re here to challenge conventional thinking and put social justice at the heart of politics. Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty by tackling its root causes, not just managing the symptoms.

Our work has helped shape some of the most significant welfare and justice reforms in a generation. We focus on five interconnected pathways to poverty:

• Educational failure
• Family breakdown
• Economic dependency and worklessness
• Addiction
• Serious personal debt

We don’t do this from behind desks. We’re powered by the lived experience and insights of frontline charities - especially through the CSJ Foundation and our national Alliance of poverty-fighting organisations. These grassroots groups are the unsung heroes tackling Britain’s toughest social issues, and we want to amplify their voice in politics, media, and philanthropy.

This is a critical moment for the CSJ. We’re scaling up our research, events, digital platforms, philanthropy and external engagement - and this role is central to that growth.

THE ROLE

The Centre for Social Justice is looking for an outstanding Events Manager to take full ownership of our events delivery and help power our engagement with policymakers, our alliance charities, partners, donors, and the wider public.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role at the heart of a fast-moving organisation. You will be responsible for turning ideas into well-run, high-impact events that advance our policy work and strengthen our influence. From policy panels and private roundtables to party conferences, awards and flagship Foundation activity, you will make things happen and make them run smoothly. We are looking for someone organised, proactive, and energised who can be relied on and execute to a high standard.
