The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) works to support the Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom, justice and equality and against apartheid, military occupation and colonisation. As a democratic, member-led organisation with over 60 local branches, we are the biggest organisation in Britain dedicated to securing Palestinian rights. We aim to create mainstream pressure to change the policies of the UK government and to indirectly place pressure on the Israeli government to end its oppression of the Palestinian people. We support the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) until Israel complies with international law, and ceases its violations of the rights of the Palestinian people.
We are looking for a Deputy Director - Campaigns to work as part of PSC’s Senior Management Team. Your key responsibilities will include overseeing the work of the Campaigns team to ensure effective campaign delivery and that agreed aims and objectives of the organisation are met. You will also be expected to line manage all staff reporting to this post as well as developing plans to ensure continued growth of PSC’s membership, branches and income, assisting the Director as part of PSC’s Management team to ensure sustained organisational growth.
With significant experience in campaigning, you will have a knowledge of the key issues regarding the situation in Palestine and a developed understanding of the appropriate framings to explain this situation. You will also have experience of formulating and managing successful strategies in a campaigning context with strong management and leadership skills and a proven ability to support staff to achieve high standards of performance.
Please note, the successful candidate must be prepared to support events taking place in London and elsewhere and on occasion work varying hours including weekends and evenings.
