Overview and summary
We are seeking to appoint a full or part-time Policy and Communications Officer – a crucial role for our more than 50-strong coalition during a vital period for our work. This is a permanent role, and, dependent on experience, the appointment may be at senior officer level.
We are entering an exciting time for our organisation and our work: we’re making the case for crucial new UK rules to ensure corporate accountability, and we are rebuilding our website, refreshing our brand and developing a new strategy as we seek to increase our engagement with politicians and the public.
We are looking for someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about the issues we work on. You don’t need to be an expert on our issues, but if you’re not, you’ll need to have the ability to rapidly become one – so you should already have an understanding of political economy, sharp political analysis and experience of policy and/or communications work in the not-for-profit sector.
We need someone who is equally comfortable working on a policy submission to government, advocating to an MP, writing an incisive comment article for publication in the media, or strategising how our campaign can best achieve its aims. And it’s vital that you have a real commitment to helping make a change on corporate accountability.
This is a crucial, very busy, outward-facing role in a small organisation seeking to make big changes. This role is at the heart of our diverse network and our ongoing collaborative efforts to bring about fundamental changes in corporate accountability.
Please note, applicants must hold the right to work in the UK to be considered for this role. CORE is an equal opportunities employer committed to adopting and refining anti-oppressive practises in its work. We particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in the business and human rights sector.
About CORE
The CORE Coalition is the UK’s long-standing civil society coalition on corporate accountability – working in tandem with our partners, we’ve been at the heart of some of the biggest changes seen in UK and EU laws on corporate accountability in recent years.
CORE is a registered charity and has a membership spanning NGOs, trade unions and law firms. We work to ensure greater corporate accountability in the UK, and access to justice for people and communities around the world who suffer from UK corporate abuses of human rights and the environment: we advocate for change, we campaign for new corporate accountability rules, we raise awareness of the impacts corporations have on human rights – and build public support for the rights of affected individuals and communities.
Recent examples of our work include intervening in UK Supreme Court cases against mining giant Vedanta and oil major Shell, briefing the UK Government on the reform of the corporate transparency provision in the UK’s Modern Slavery Act, and developing and running a campaign for new corporate accountability legislation in the UK.
CORE has three staff: an Executive Director, a Policy and Communications Officer, and a part-time Finance Officer. We are also currently recruiting a new role – a Network and Administration Officer. We are supported by an outstanding board, made up of experts drawn from across NGOs, academia and law firms.
Role description

- Maintain an overview of developments in corporate accountability for human rights and the environment in the UK and overseas;

- Provide policy expertise to ensure partner organisations are updated about CORE’s work and relevant national and international policy developments;
- Provide policy and communications expertise in our regular network meetings, and facilitate and arrange and meetings;
