Could you be Red Pepper’s political organiser?

The political situation means that, now more than ever, activists are discovering Red Pepper. People are telling us how much they value an independent, non-sectarian space to promote campaigns and debate strategies for defeating austerity and building real alternatives. But really we’re barely scratching the surface of the potential that’s out there. If we’re to really punch our weight we’ll need to transform our organisational capacity, turning goodwill into concrete results and increased revenues.

Thanks to the generous donations of all those supporters who responded to our recent fundraising appeal, Red Pepper is now poised to employ its first ever full-time political organiser.

Do you have what it takes to identify opportunities and new supporters and boost our subscriptions? Could take a lead in building alliances with trade unions, student groups, left parties, NGOs and local campaigns and increase subscriptions and support? Do you have the ability to organise successful public Red Pepper events around the country in collaboration with others so we can better tailor the magazine to the needs and interests of our readers?

If so, we want to hear from you. The political organiser post will be on an initial 12 month contract (3 month probationary period applies), and the salary will be £25,000 per annum plus reasonable expenses.

For an application pack with full details please contact kitty@redpepper.org.uk. The deadline for applications is Sunday 21 October at 5pm.
