CLP Campaign Co-ordinator

Lead the delivery of campaigning activity and help build a strong, organised campaign team.

As CLP Campaign Co-ordinator, you play a central role in organising and delivering campaigning activity across your constituency and beyond. You help turn plans into action — building teams, coordinating activity and ensuring your CLP campaigns effectively in the community and supports wider Party priorities.

This role suits someone who is organised, reliable and able to motivate others, and who wants to play a hands-on role in helping Labour win.

What success looks like

• Active – regular, visible campaigning in the community
• Organised – activity is planned, coordinated and delivered effectively
• Growing – more members and supporters are involved in campaigning
• Effective – campaign effort is focused where it will have the most impact
