Senior Community Organiser

Be a strategist behind Coventry s next wave of grassroots power. Join a tight knit team turning 21 community initiatives into one unstoppable force for justice.

Connecting for Good (CfG) is six years into a bold, ten year mission and now we need a Senior Community Organiser to help us flip the switch from building power to wielding it.

Why this role is different

• Movement level impact: You ll shape the collective strategy of 27 self organised groups tackling poverty, isolation and discrimination across Coventry.

• Small, expert crew: Work shoulder to shoulder with four experienced Community Organisers and a supportive Team Leader no silos, no ivory towers.

• Part time, big influence: 18.5 hours/week, £38 40k pro rata, fixed term to Dec 2027 plenty of space to balance life while steering city wide change.

What you ll drive

• Craft city wide power analyses and build high stakes relationships with journalists, policymakers and other power holders.

• Mentor and energise local leaders, turning individual wins into coordinated campaigns that shift systems.

• Design and deliver cutting edge organising and leadership training that equips 135+ emerging changemakers to act together.

• Guide each initiative toward self sufficiency so by 2027 the movement is self governing, connected and impossible to ignore.

The wins you bring

• A track record of campaigns that moved the needle on injustice and the stories to prove it.

• Skill in mapping power, crafting public narrative, running mass actions and negotiating with decision makers.

• Confidence to coach others, facilitate tough conversations and celebrate big, public victories.

The culture you ll love

We care, we hold each other accountable and back bold ideas with action. We repay out of hours effort with TOIL, cherish diverse lived experience and never lose sight of the people behind the work.
