We're hiring: Campaigns Officer for Keep Our NHS Public

Keep Our NHS Public (KONP) campaigns for an NHS which is publicly funded, publicly provided and publicly accountable, available to all on the basis of clinical need, regardless of ability to pay. We campaign for an increase in funding, an end to privatisation, safe staffing levels and against racist scapegoating in the NHS and against migrant charges.

This job is an exciting opportunity to be part of our growth and help us win our struggle to save the NHS.
