  • Working with other staff to promote the protest through social media, email and other social and campaign networks.
  • Applying your existing knowledge, experience and networks to enhance the protest and create a larger and more successful response to the coronation.
  • Planning and delivering smaller protests in line with developing plans for the coronation campaign.

This is a short term fixed contract aimed at delivering an effective protest at the coronation in 2023.
