This is your chance to join an amazing team that works to reform Economics education in the UK. We are excited to launch our search for our Senior UK Organiser. Role title: Senior UK Organiser About Rethinking Economics Rethinking Economics (RE) is an international network working to build a better Economics in society and the classroom. We 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, we support over 100 groups in over 30 countries around the world, alongside thousands of supportive members of the public. Our purpose is to reform the university Economics curriculum to make it more pluralist, critical and applicable to the real world. Rethinking Economics is undertaking an exciting transition process in which we are developing and expanding the future of the organisation. The UK has about 16 local Rethinking Economics groups at universities. They campaign to reform their economics education through community organising. We have many allies in academia that support us to do this and a dedicated committee to support the growth of the national network, alongside the institutional support of RE International s staff team. For this role, we will only be accepting candidates who have the right to work in the UK. What we re looking for Rethinking Economics International was born out of the UK and we have done a lot of work to grow the network. We have been undertaking research and development into our framing and messaging, alongside a project to investigate the viability of including accountancy students into our network and activity. We have multiple staff members that manage the UK operations in relation to finance, fundraising, communications, and membership management. This role is going to focus on supporting our UK local groups to campaign at each university; to support the development of a UK National Network; to maintain and enhance the structures that relate to the UK programme. What is successful campaigning? For us a successful campaign results in curriculum reform at universities. This means a curriculum that reflects economics in the real world (including the Global South). In particular, the curriculum should include pluralist, critical and real-world economics that leads to a more fair and just world, and one which can respond to the climate crisis. Success also means the growth of a skilled and informed student body who have the tools to campaign now and in their future roles of influence in wider society. To be successful in this role, you will not require an economics degree, but it is necessary for you to fully understand how to undertake and support others in community organising. You will be able to think strategically, to inspire and facilitate the growth of others, and to see common threads within and between groups to help them achieve their aims. Trade union, tenants union, community union or direct student community organising experience or training is essential.
