Amnesty International UK (AIUK) has a simple aim: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they are denied. If you want to use your skills, knowledge, and experience to help fight for human rights, you could be our new Media Coordinator.

About the role

Amnesty International UK's Media Team plays a central role in advancing the organisation's human rights mission, connecting Amnesty's research, campaigns and advocacy with the public understanding and pressure that make meaningful change possible. The team is responsible for all external media relations, proactive press strategy, and rapid response to breaking human rights issues - serving as the primary bridge between Amnesty's work and the journalists, editors and platforms that shape national conversation.

Through sharp news judgement and values-led storytelling, the team transforms complex human rights issues into compelling stories that cut through a crowded media landscape. Operating across traditional, digital and social-first platforms, their work is essential to sustaining Amnesty's trusted voice at the forefront of national debate - highlighting abuses, countering misinformation, and ensuring that people experiencing injustice are heard.

The Media Coordinator will support this busy, strategic function - acting as a point of contact for media enquiries, coordinating responses and ensuring timely communication. Working both proactively and reactively, the role holder will collaborate closely with Media Managers to support media activity, build relationships with journalists and producers, and provide day-to-day administrative support to keep the team running smoothly.

The role may be for you if you:

• Can produce quick, accurate, compelling communications for a range of audiences, including the ability to relay complex or sensitive information succinctly and clearly to journalists.
• Have excellent project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Can collaborate confidently across teams and communicate clearly with colleagues, spokespeople and journalists alike.
• Are a self-starter able to work independently and drive work forwards with minimal supervision.
• Have good knowledge in international affairs, human rights and the UK political system.

Our Commitment to you

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism (IDEA) are at the core of our values. We want to be an organisation that tackles structural inequality and prejudice as well as be an actively anti-racist organisation.

New colleagues receive 27 days leave annually (29 after five years), as well as bank holidays (pro rated for part time) and 3 wellbeing days. 2-5% employee pension contributions are matched at 6-9% and we offer 6 months full pay for family leave.

Introduction to the Cathedral 

Southwark Cathedral has been a place of Christian worship for over 1400 years. Now it stands on the vibrant and exciting regenerated south bank of the Thames surrounded by cultural venues such as Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe and Borough Market, the offices of major companies as well as schools and diverse residential communities. It is an inclusive Christian community that offers a welcome to all. 

The Cathedral’s mission, ministry and musical tradition are core to its life as a Cathedral and a parish church serving the community. It also relies on the valuable financial contribution made by its income generating activities such as its shop, café, conference rooms, corporate events and concerts. It is a very busy place, attracting 200,000 visitors a year to the Cathedral, its churchyard and medieval herb garden. The Cathedral relies on a small but dedicated team to be inclusive and welcoming to all.

Southwark Cathedral is committed to being an Equal Opportunities Employer. We believe in promoting and building a diverse and inclusive team, and workplace, culture and governance structures that are welcoming to and respectful of all. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified people whatever their ethnicity, background, age, disability, long term condition, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Southwark Cathedral is committed to a culture of safeguarding, especially for children, young people, and vulnerable adults. The Cathedral has adopted the Church of England policy statement ‘Promoting a Safer Church (2017)’; Safeguarding Learning and Development (2024) and the Safer Recruitment and People Management Guidance (2021). Every member of our team is recruited according to these policies and is required to complete safeguarding training.
