A year ago today I was stood in a scrapyard looking at the wreckage of my car (thankfully no one was seriously hurt when someone crashed into us while we queued to exit the A23) when I received news that my job wasn’t being made permanent, and for the first time since university I was going to be unemployed.
It was a scary time, and it’s been a difficult year. I’ve had a lot of time for being a stay at home dad, and worked on some great projects - establishing my own local humanist group and relaunching Camp Quest UK are particularly proud achievements.
Unfortunately, paid projects have been extremely limited. The third sector is in existential crisis with mass redundancies across all levels, specialisms and causes. I have an extremely strong CV, skillset and track record over 14 years: running major campaigns, projects and programmes for organisations with national reach.
If you know any positive third sector organisations who are looking for a consultant, part time specialist, or new team member, please put them in touch.
My specialties are:
> Local group and localised engagement strategy
> Letters to MPs, constituent lobbying and petition strategy
> Supporter engagement review, CRM strategy and optimisation
> Resource creation and review
I also have experience with:
> Parliamentary monitoring and lobbying strategy
> Programme development and evaluation
> Event management
> Content creation
> Policy research and reporting
