This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a team working for democracy, peace and climate justice.
We're looking for someone to manage our Advocacy and Media team for a year. The team covers public affairs, media, social media, and relationships with other churches and faiths.
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.
We need someone with the relevant skills and experience, who can also learn fast and start leading the team's work quickly. You will have a background in policy, public affairs and/or campaigning work, and experience of line-management. You will need excellent interpersonal, communication and organisation skills.
We have our own advocacy projects on democracy and human rights in Westminster and Holyrood, as well as working in coalition with other organisations on issues such as climate justice and peace.
You will have the opportunity to work within a friendly and collaborative team for an organisation striving for peace, truth, equality and sustainability.
