Company Description
Lavender Common is a UK-registered charity (no. 1210536) funding strategic litigation for LGBTQ+ rights across the Council of Europe. We're funded by thousands of people giving £10 a year, and Community Organisers are how we grow that base, city by city.
The Role
In each of our priority countries, we're organising supporters through a network of regional hubs, each centred on a city. Community Organisers anchor those hubs. You'll be the local face of Lavender Common and the first person new supporters in your area connect with.
What You'll Do
- Recruit new supporters through local outreach, events and your own networks
- Connect LGBTQ+ organisations and allies in your area with our work
- Organise community gatherings, talks and local fundraising
- Be the point of contact for people in your region who want to get involved
- Tell us what's happening on the ground: which issues are live and what your community needs
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Get From Us
- A named contact at Lavender Common
- A briefing on our work, our cases and how to talk about them
- Ready-to-use materials: sign-up links, talking points and support for planning events
- A connection to other organisers in your country and beyond
- Real influence: what you tell us shapes where we focus
Who We're Looking For
No specific background is required. What matters is that you're embedded in your community, people trust you, and you care about what we're trying to do. Experience in activism, events or supporter recruitment helps, but strong local relationships count for more.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're especially keen to hear from people in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Wherever you are in Europe, though, please get in touch.
Time and Location
A few hours a month to start with - perfect to balance with your studies or other commitments!
Your Safety Comes First
You decide how visible you are. We'll never name you publicly without your permission, and if LGBTQ+ organising carries risk where you live, we'll find lower-profile ways for you to help.
This is an unpaid volunteer role.
