About Us

Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.

We urgently need to phase out oil and gas drilling to stay within safe climate limits. Yet, despite having renewable resources in abundance, the UK remains Europe’s second largest oil and gas producer.

We can and must be ambitious about moving past oil and gas production, while empowering and supporting workers and communities who rely on the industry for their livelihoods.

Working with everyone from policy-makers and Parliamentarians, to academics and campaigners, Uplift undertakes research, analysis and campaigning to support a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK.

The Role

We are looking for a Campaigns Assistant (New Parent Leave Cover), to support the Campaigns and Movement Building team in delivering campaigns to stop new oil and gas fields and accelerate a fair phase-out of oil and gas in the UK.

The Campaigns Assistant will play a key role in ensuring campaign infrastructure runs smoothly and that mobilisation activities, stakeholder communications, and campaign logistics are effectively coordinated.

Core responsibilities will include:

Campaign and Project Support

• Provide administrative and coordination support to campaigners across multiple projects.

Mobilisation and Campaign Logistics

• Support the planning and delivery of campaign mobilisations and events, including coordination with campaign partners and volunteers.
• Assist with designing and ordering campaign materials

Campaign Materials and Fulfilment

• Coordinate requests from partner groups for campaign materials.
• Prepare and send campaign materials to partner organisations and community groups.

Communications and Inbox Management

• Manage campaign inboxes.
• Moderate campaign tools such as digital postcard systems.

Stakeholder and Partner Engagement

• Support communication with campaign partners and across the climate movement.
• Represent Uplift in relevant network meetings and coalition spaces where appropriate.

Campaign Tracking and Data Management

• Maintain accurate campaign records across spreadsheets, trackers, and internal databases.
• Support the coordination of political pledges and campaign supporter lists.

Event and Meeting Coordination

• Assist in organising campaign events, partner gatherings, and network meetings, including managing event logistics.
• Support promotion of events and coordination.
