ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We work with our partners and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want

Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies? 

Are you passionate about storytelling and its power to inspire, educate and lead change? 

Then we'd love to hear from you!

At ActionAid UK, storytelling sits at the heart of our work. We champion anti-racist, decolonial storytelling by collaborating with creatives rooted in the countries we feature and ensuring every story is told, with dignity, care and integrity. We believe storytelling is a tool to shift power, reframe narratives and challenge the inequalities that shape our world. In this specialist role within our Stories and Content Gathering Team, you’ll help shape bold, authentic content that showcases the work and impact of ActionAid’s partners worldwide, as well as the global movements for social justice and gender equality.

Day-to-day, you’ll nurture strong relationships with colleagues across the global majority and ensure every story reflects the lived realities of the communities we work with. You’ll support photography, video and story gathering commissions across Asia, Africa and Latin America, researching story leads, developing strong angles, liaising with teams worldwide and helping brief and contract photographers, videographers and journalists. You’ll move content through post-production; from translation and consent checks, to safeguarding reviews and story write ups, preparing everything for upload to our global content SharePoint. 

You’ll also help build a global network of freelance translators, editors and creative professionals, and curate strong existing stories and assets so they can be used across advocacy, fundraising, events, exhibitions and federation-wide communications. You may also support with training colleagues in best practice storytelling, contribute to internal and external meetings and help gather feedback to continually improve our processes.

When humanitarian emergencies strike, you will join the emergency communications team to help coordinate rapid content gathering. You’ll support with logistics, contracting in-country creatives, organising translation and ensuring testimonies and information are shaped into accurate, safe, timely content that reflects ActionAid’s feminist, anti-racist and decolonial principles.

We’re looking for someone with at least two years editorial, production or journalism experience, excellent research and writing skills, a sharp editorial eye and strong project management skills, as well as a commitment to telling stories with integrity, care and critical awareness.
