Vacancy: LWN Interim Director.
Immediate start.
Labour Women's Network is delighted to announce an exciting and immediate vacancy leading our small and busy team for a period of up to four months.
LWN exists to elect more women to public office, and support women to achieve equal power, visibility and safety at every level of political activity. We strive to be women women's feminist home within the Labour Party, and achieve all this through training, campaigning, and sisterhood, no matter your shade of red. We recently supported the historic election of more Labour Women MPs than ever before, and want to replicate this success at every level of the Party. We fight for necessary change in Labour's culture, practices and procedures, from better selection processes, to parental leave for councillors.
Due to the departure of our previous Director, LWN is inviting expressions of interest from candidates who can take the reins as quickly as possible, ideally on or shortly after 6th November. We are looking for a skilled manager with strong political judgement and excellent relationship building skills who can guide LWN to continued growth and impact whilst we recuit a permanent Director.
The Interim Director candidate should ideally be available to attend LWN's annual strategy weekend which takes place in Greater Manchester on 16th and 17th November.
We welcome expressions of interest from the widest possible backgrounds. Applicants should be women members of the Labour Party and should share LWN's values, tone and ethos. A sense of sisterhood is essential!
