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.

We want to be an organisation that tackles structural inequality and prejudice as well as be an actively anti-racist organisation. This means taking a meaningful and equitable approach to supporting and developing you and others during your time with us.

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.
