We are excited to announce that we are recruiting for a new role of Campaigns Coordinator for a two-year project funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation, looking at understanding the impact of local welfare support on claimants and influencing the current and future design and take up of discretionary welfare provision.

The role will involve working with a collaboration of project partners (Age UK, Citizens Advice York, Peasholme Charity, University of York, York Foodbank and City of York Council) to pull together the data to provide city-wide evidence, convene meetings of the bi-monthly forum, keep the website up to date, help with marketing and lead the drafting/dissemination of project outputs.
