Campaigner

About Us

Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.

We urgently need to phase out oil and gas drilling to stay within safe climate limits. Yet, despite having renewable resources in abundance, the UK remains Europe’s second largest oil and gas producer.

We can and must be ambitious about moving past oil and gas production, while empowering and supporting workers and communities who rely on the industry for their livelihoods.

Working with everyone from policy-makers and Parliamentarians, to academics and campaigners, Uplift undertakes research, analysis and campaigning to support a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.

The Role

We are currently looking for a Campaigner to join our Campaigns and Movement Building team. The initial focus of this role will be on the Stop Rosebank campaign, then shifting to an exciting new climate change campaign in 2027.

You’ll be working with a small internal team, and with partners from across the expansive Stop Rosebank network. You will help to deliver campaign actions utilising a variety of tactics, and will support allied groups to deliver their own actions across the UK.

We anticipate using the latter half of this year to develop a new climate campaign which this role would be a part of.

Core responsibilities will include:

• Campaign delivery: Supporting the development and execution of campaign activities, using a variety of tactics in collaboration with key partners and Uplift’s Campaigns team, both online and offline.
• Event and action planning and delivery: Organising and facilitating meetings, events, and actions with groups of diverse partners and stakeholders, in collaboration with the Uplift team.
• Coalition care and support: Maintaining relationships and being a central point of contact for individuals and groups active in our campaigns.
• Public representation: Supporting the public representation of the campaign including for the campaign to the media and in public events

Please see the job description for the full core responsibilities.
