Josh Babarinde MP and Eastbourne Lib Dems are looking for a Full Time Constituency Organiser, permanent contract salary up to £28k

The opportunity 
Josh Babarinde OBE is the hugely popular Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Eastbourne. Josh was elected in July 2024 with over 52% of the vote and after an ambitious and hugely successful campaign.

The Eastbourne Lib Dems have successfully retained control of the local Council for many years, winning the traditionally Conservative Meads ward in 2023 and winning two By Elections in 2025 against an insurgent Reform. Devolution and Local government reorganisation pose real opportunities for an even stronger Lib Dem voice across Sussex.

Now Josh and the Eastbourne Lib Dems are on the hunt for a show-stopping Constituency Organiser to help power future campaigns.

We want you to help us to put the Lib Dems front and centre in this part of Sussex, to position the Lib Dems to take control of the new Unitary Authority in 2027 and to see Josh re-elected in 2029 with an even bigger majority. It’s an exciting challenge!

Produce hard-hitting campaign communications

Push the Lib Dem message to the public 
You’ll plan and manage a rigorous schedule of campaign activity to get the Eastbourne Lib Dem message out to voters across every corner of Eastbourne.
