Take a lead in delivering Amnesty's campaigning on the West and Central Africa Region. We are currently recruiting for a Country Coordinator focusing on Central African Republic, Mali, Burkina Faso and Senegal in our West and Central Africa team.
The Role
Country Coordinators are volunteer activists who lead much of Amnesty UK's work on their countries. From building and developing relationships with embassies and UK government officials, to designing and delivering public campaigning to spotlight human rights abuses – the role is broad, varied and powerful. Our Country Coordinator team is a group of around 50 individuals, each working on one or more country. We're divided into 13 regional teams of several coordinators, who work together, as well as independently.
About You
You’ll be a committed Human Rights activist, able to work independently, and passionate about delivering real human rights outcomes through your campaigning and advocacy work. Experience campaigning, or building professional relations is certainly an advantage, but full training is given, and an open mind and eagerness to learn and develop your skills is vital. We particularly welcome candidates with a knowledge of or connection to the country they will be working on, or with existing knowledge of Amnesty International processes and structures. To perform this role, you will need to be usually resident in the UK.
