Rethinking Economics (RE) is an international network working to build a better Economics in society and the classroom. RE started as a student movement in 2012 and have since grown to become a registered charity with a 10-person staff team. Through a mixture of campaigning, events and projects, RE support over 100 groups in over 30 countries around the world, alongside thousands of supportive members of the public, to reform the university Economics curriculum to make it more pluralist, critical and applicable to the real world.
RE are looking for an experienced professional who can take the lead on implementing our anti-oppression strategy and its recommendations, while also working with the team to best identify how we should work together efficiently, safely and effectively. You will have a good understanding of UK HR, employment and recruitment law and good practice. You will have experience of monitoring evaluation and project and organisational management for small organisations.
This is a new role and the successful candidate will have a real opportunity to make their mark on the HR function of Rethinking Economics. Your skills will support a small organisation to continually develop and grow – a keenness to thrive in a fast-paced changing environment is essential.
The purpose of the role is to lead on the operations for the organisation, ensuring that the needs of staff team are fulfilled and they can work safely, efficiently and feel supported by the organisation as a whole.
The role profile asks for a wide range of competencies and we recognise that we are unlikely to find a candidate who fits every requirement. A strong background in organising and movement building within Economics or educational reform would be of great advantage.
