About this job

Renters in LRU are building the power we need to transform the housing system. From stopping evictions to taking on some of the biggest landlords in the city, our union is rooted in the power that we have when we get organised and fight back. 

Together we’ve helped push the government to ban Section 21 evictions alongside our allies, won policy change from local councils and helped to push the need for rent controls up the political agenda. We’re recruiting a Brent Branch Organiser paternity cover to support the growth of our Brent branch, on a 5 month contract.

Joining the LRU as a paid organiser is your chance to use and develop your community organising skills, to build a leaderful local branch and support local renters to build the power we need to transform the housing system so that it works for people not profit. Brent branch is the largest branch in the LRU, with a vibrant committee and many plans to grow, fight and win. The new branch organiser will work closely with the committee and members to help achieve the vision of the branch.

We strongly encourage applications from people who live or work in Brent and and we particularly encourage applications from working class, women, disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates.
