Organisation Description
We are the New Organising Collaborative, conveners of the New Organising Conference - a groundbreaking initiative aimed at building collective power to advance social justice. This event brings together a diverse group of participants — including trade unions, community organisers, non-profits, academics, lawyers, and journalists — all with a shared commitment to workers' rights and community organising.
Held annually over a weekend, the Conference fosters learning, inspiration, and collaboration. In September 2025, 60 individuals delivered 44 different sessions to an audience of 130 attendees. [Watch the 2025 Conference video.]
Role Description
As the Conference preparations ramp up, we are looking for a dedicated Event Coordinator to join our team. Please note: only apply if you are able to start by the end of May (preferably sooner) and are UK based.
This role is primarily remote, with regular supervision from the Coordinator and in-person meetups twice a year. The role combines both operational and communications responsibilities, including participant registration, accommodation arrangements, and support requests. Additionally, you will help develop and implement a marketing strategy in the lead-up to the Conference.
You’ll have high autonomy and the opportunity to engage with inspiring activists and educators throughout the process. Please note, taking more than one week of holiday during July and August is unlikely due to the nature of the role.
The role offers 5 weeks of paid holiday pro-rata, with PAYE or contractor status negotiable.
