The Director of Movement Building leads our Movement Building Hub, comprised of NEON’s training, coaching, organising and facilitation programmes. This role is responsible for the overall strategy and direction of NEON’s Movement Building work; managing a small but busy team to deliver support, skills and analysis for social movements across the UK. Our current Director of Movement Building, Jessica Kennedy, has held the role since March 2022 at 21 hours per week. This is a demanding job with exciting new work to set up and manage this year, and so we are looking for someone who can share the role and its responsibilities with this current Director. This is a senior leadership role and the successful candidate will be a key member of the leadership team alongside their co-Director, the Directors of the Communications and Operations Hubs, and two co-Executive Directors. You will help shape the new strategy for NEON and the Movement Building Hub, and help develop and lead new projects to enable social movements in the UK to win.

Location

Hybrid working. Our flexible working policy requires everyone to be in our east London office for 25% of the time as a minimum because building in-person relationships is important to us (that could be one week a month, or a day or two a week), but you’re welcome to be there more as many staff are.

Salary

£52,566 pro rata (in effect between £32,853.75 and £45,995.25 depending on how many days per week)

Contract type

Permanent

Hours

2.5 to 3.5 days a week - flexible on days. For NEON full time is 28 hours so this is between 0.63 and 0.88 FTE. The successful applicant would be working the job share with Jessica Kennedy, who is already in post and will be working 2.5 to 3 days per week.

Benefits

a 28-hour week, 7.5% employer matched pension, genuinely flexible working, 20 days holiday per year (25 days pro rated for a 4 day week), plus bank holidays and Christmas break, a progressive Parenting Policy, Sabbatical Policy, and a generous staff development budget
