<h3>Why you should apply</h3>
<p>Are you a communications professional with a passion for social justice? &nbsp;Use your skills to build our growing&nbsp;energy&nbsp;cooperative to make our energy system work for people and the planet. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Join our team and be part of the movement for climate justice and building the future we want. We&rsquo;re looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated and digital savvy&nbsp;Communications&nbsp;Organiser to take our people-powered movement to the next level.</p>
<h3>About CoPower&nbsp;</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;CoPower&nbsp;cooperative has been built through recruiting households across our diverse member organisation (trade unions, cooperatives, environment and community organisations) rapid response campaigns to energy market and climate crises and supporting household members referring friends and families. &nbsp;CoPower&nbsp;exists to advocate for a not-for-profit cooperative who is committed to building a&nbsp;new commons. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Since 2019 we have been retailing electricity through a white label partnership with Energy Locals, who holds the electricity retail license in the National Energy Market. With very little resources we have grown to supply over 4,000&nbsp;customer&nbsp;members.&nbsp;</p>
<p>CoPower&nbsp;aims&nbsp;to be a collectivist cooperative to drive system change for energy to be a public-good which is democratically controlled and equitably decarbonised.

Giving our household members meaningful democratic opportunities to engage and shape our cooperative has been key to our success. This includes running a democratic budget process where customer members&nbsp;vote to determine how our funds are allocated each year. &nbsp;Customer members then put forward and vote for campaigns for climate justice, first-nations solidarity and just transition, as well as improved member benefits such as discounts on energy efficiency services provided by the Earthworker cooperative eco-system. It&nbsp;has been an exciting people-powered journey over the last five&nbsp;years, and we are now focused on moving from a start-up phase to consolidate our organisation&rsquo;s&nbsp;position for impact into the future.&nbsp;</p>
