CCHQ Replaces Paid Roles With Volunteers
Guido was trawling through CCHQ’s job ads this morning to see how Kemi’s “reset” of the party’s campaigning machine is shaping up. Turns out, they’re hiring. Just not for money…
They’re after a “Research/Press” volunteer, working for “0 pay” on “0 specific hours”. Applicants must have “excellent research and analytical skills”, “a strong academic background”, and will be churning out policy “analysis”, “new initiatives”, and “campaign ideas”. All for love of the game…
Also on offer: “Membership Growth Volunteer” and “Political Events & Operations Volunteer” – again, both unpaid. For any co-conspirators hoping to get paid in pounds, there are openings: Two campaign manager roles in Scotland and Havant are available on a “competitive” salary. Kemi needs you…
UPDATE: A Labour source tells Guido: “It’s no wonder the Tories are desperately trying to block new rights for workers. It means they would actually have to pay their staff.”
