Amnesty International UK has a simple aim: an end to human rights abuses. 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 be successful in this role, you could be our new Media & PR Manager. About the media team Amnesty UK’s media team is called upon by most departments to showcase, promote and publicise their work. There is no campaign, event, stunt, publication, piece of research or other product which doesn’t look to the press team for support and press coverage. In many ways, the media team bookends much of the organisation’s most high-profile campaigning work - starting with media strategies, through to crafting messaging, briefing spokespeople, issuing press releases, connecting with journalists and setting up interviews. The media coverage achieved is often considered to be a key indicator in how a campaign or report has performed against the organisation’s objectives. The team also work with their counterparts and research teams from around the world who want their reports and comments profiled in the UK media. The media team also operate an on-call rota service out of office hours. This means that every morning, evening and weekend throughout the year a media manager is available to respond to journalists as well as process important outputs from the International Secretariat. About the role This is a unique opportunity and a great time to join Amnesty UK’s busy media and PR team. Amnesty UK has ambitious campaigning and growth targets up to 2026 and you will play a vital role in helping to deliver those targets. This will be achieved by developing media strategies, organising media interviews and producing the relevant materials such as press releases, fast reactive quotes, opinion pieces and letter to editors. You will be working across a variety of areas, but there will be a specific focus on UK human rights issues which includes racial justice, economic, social and cultural rights, business and human rights, corporate partnerships and community led programs across the country. The media work on these campaign areas will be designed to deliver real human rights change and help increase the number of Amnesty supporters in the UK. You will also monitor breaking news stories to ensure Amnesty UK reacts quickly and powerfully. And be part of an out of hours on call rota. |
