£34,884 per annum

About the role

We’re looking for a campaigner to contribute to our campaign against human rights violations in the West Gulf. Working as part of the West Gulf Team at the International Secretariat, you will work on a range of projects, acting as a focal point providing advice and support to our worldwide membership, including devising campaigning strategies, preparing written and other campaigning materials and providing research support.


About you

You will have excellent campaigning and communication skills, along with strong research skills and an understanding of NGOs and similar organizations. You are dynamic, hardworking and organized, capable of working both on your own initiative and as a member of the team, often under pressure. A strong affinity or experience of economic, social and cultural rights issues would be a plus. While there is no line management responsibility, you will participate in coordinating the work of the team.

About us

Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied. Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
