About Us:
We Belong is the UK’s first migrant youth-led charity. We believe that young people should be central and active participants in the conversation to create positive, impactful social change. We have a main base in London with a Manchester chapter to advance our work.
We are seeking 3 Co-Producers based in either London or Manchester to help advance our work. Over the last 6 years, we have campaigned for shorter routes to settlement for young people who are socially integrated, including welcoming immigration rules that will benefit over 332,000 children and young people.
With your help, we can raise awareness of immigration rules and empower young people from migrant backgrounds so that they can regularise their status in the UK. We have a big task ahead of us and would love you to join us on this journey.

About the role
What does being a Co-Producer involve?
Co-producers will be young activists who will work closely with We Belong’s outreach team to do outreach in London or Manchester so that young migrants know their rights and entitlements. In addition to participating in meetings, outreach sessions, delivering information and training sessions, Co-producers will also be expected to work alongside staff to assist with organising events.
As a Co-producer, you will be a part of a team of changemakers who will inspire young people with lived experiences of social injustice and assist them in developing their knowledge and skills.
What will you be doing as a Co-Producer?
Your role may involve planning events, enhancing communication across media platforms, and empowering youth to articulate their concerns on important issues. Additionally, you will work collaboratively with local councils and community groups, maintain respectful boundaries, and uphold the values of our organisation, promoting equality and diversity. For a complete list of responsibilities, please refer to the full job description below.
Who can apply to become a Co-Producer?

Note: If you are interested in campaigning and social action but have no experience, we welcome you to apply
What is the time commitment needed, and is this a paid role?
Here at We Belong, we do not believe in young people working and providing their expertise for free. As a Co-producer you will be expected to commit a maximum of 3.5hrs a week which is 2 days a month time to We Belong’s projects at a £15 an hour rate.
The contract with We Belong will be for 12 months. We Belong will also provide support to process your invoices as well as accountancy support to pay taxes.
