We are asking Local Coordinators to launch Amnesty Human Rights Where You Live initiatives in their area of the East Midlands, helping to bring together local people with an interest in human rights. This is an on-the-ground role promoting activism in your area.
Over the next twelve months, Coordinators would then support their local team to:
-
Raise awareness of and campaign on human rights issues locally.
-
Persuade local politicians to put human rights at the heart of their decisions
-
Engage their local community and ‘change the conversation’ on human rights
-
Mark International Human Rights Day on 10 December
-
Set up an Amnesty local group with fundraising to enable future campaigning
They would also have the chance to team up with other Coordinators to help develop and deliver a human rights campaign for the East Midlands.
This is a great opportunity to make a difference in your local area on issues you are passionate about while also gaining experience and confidence with a wide range of campaign and communication skills.
What support would I get?
Coordinators will be supported at every step by the Amnesty East Midlands Regional Organiser and other staff, who will provide:
-
Support for a local launch meeting for Human Rights Where You Live
-
Training in knowledge and skills
-
1-1 coaching
-
Organising, campaigning and fundraising resources
-
Face-to-face and online networking with other activists as a regional team.
My main staff point of contact would be: East Midlands Regional Organiser
All Coordinators would:
-
Communicate regularly with the East Midlands Regional Organiser
-
Feedback on their activities on a regular and structured basis.
-
Aim to attend a reasonable number of core training and networking sessions online and in-person, depending on individual circumstances.
What skills and knowledge are needed?
-
Some knowledge of your local area in the East Midlands.
-
Good written and oral communications skills
-
Experience of team-working
-
Basic IT competency (email, word processing, etc.) and internet access
Experience of campaigning is always welcome but not essential – we find that people often have skills from something else they have done that would be very helpful for the role.
How much time is needed?
We would estimate around 2-3 hours a week would be the average, although there may be some periods where more or less commitment is needed. We’d ask that you commit to your local Human Rights Where You Live project for at least one year, although we recognize that people’s circumstances do change.
We also understand that this role may need to fit around your family, studies, caring or other commitments.
Any other requirements?
Coordinators would need to be living in the East Midlands and unlikely to move in the next 12 months. We welcome interest from students at East Midlands universities.
We would ask that any Coordinator be at least 18. However, if you are under 18 but would still like to get involved in Amnesty, please do get in touch to find more about our youth groups.
We welcome interest from people who are already volunteering with another community or campaign group with an interest in human rights, and who are interested in doing a local Human Rights Where You Live project as a collaboration between Amnesty and that group.

Challenging times need capable and committed individuals.
The Gambling Harms space is undergoing a generational transformation as the commissioning structure transitions across to a new Statutory Levy based funding model. This change presents many imminent challenges and creates a space where the major stakeholders have little to no in-house subject expertise (around gambling harms) and where the previous formal pathway to Lived Experience involvement in system design and commissioning has been lost.
At this crucial time the Gambling Lived Experience Network is undergoing its own transformation to be able to step up and create meaningful engagement with an increasingly complex and layered stakeholder framework.
We are therefore looking for individuals with confidence, shared purpose, and proven abilities to join our board of trustees and help steward a growing charity during a crucial time in both GLEN's own development and also to help us shape the evolution of the wider gambling harms space.
There has quite simply never been a more important time to join our board, or to get personally involved in helping shape a massively under recognised but socially significant area of human adverse experience which currently impacts upwards of 10 million UK adults at any one time.
As a charity trustee you will be acting in an unpaid capacity but will be contributing so much to supporting the wellbeing and protection of literally millions of vulnerable individuals and families. It is a big ask, and a big challenge, but one which we believe is ultimately worth taking on.
We are ready for the challenge... are you?
