Job description

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.
