Our staff support members to organise collectively, challenge unfair housing practices, and win meaningful change at local and national levels.

Current roles available:
Homes for Us Embedded Organiser
Salary: £32,760.00 pro rata (£16.80 per hour).
Hours: 30.00 hours per week (part time).
Location: Manchester and across the North of England.
Contract: Fixed contract from January 1st 2027 to December 31st 2028, with possibility of extension.
Closing date: 11:00am, Mon 30th November 2026.
For the next stage of our work with the Homes for Us Alliance, the network will be funding a position of ‘Embedded Organiser’ who will be based at the Greater Manchester Tenants Union.
This role will be based at GMTU, part of our staff team and structures, and will have some organising responsibilities within GMTU.
But the bulk of their work will be building the Homes for Us Alliance network across the North of England. In particular, working alongside partners including Sheffield Tenants Union and Food and Solidarity in Newcastle.
We are therefore looking for an experienced organiser with a strategic understanding of the needs of the housing movement as a whole and how we can better join up activity across our region.
