In 2022, K&C had 2 Councillors elected in Earls Court and was only 6 votes shy to having a 3rd elected. We also came just 125 swing votes away from electing an additional three councillors in three different wards across the borough.

2026 is our best opportunity yet, to get more hardworking Lib Dems Councillors elected and bring the much-needed change that residents in our borough are demanding.

We’ll be running a strong, targeted campaign against both the Conservative and the Reform Party – and we’re looking for the right Campaign Manager to help lead that fight.

We are looking for a highly skilled Campaign Manager to build on our success and propel us forward as one of the leading local parties in London. We are targeting numerous seats and expect to win in these seats.

You will be expected to lead and manage the campaign, inspire volunteers, write and produce all our printed campaign literature and social media, be proactive in communications through email and our website to all our electorate, and support management of our electoral and membership data. The role offers flexible working hours, location and conditions, although it will require evening and weekend work, particularly during the campaign period.

If you are motivated, committed, organised person interested in managing the activities of an ambitious local political party, then please apply to join us.
