We are currently recruiting for a Country Coordinator in our North Africa team, that will provide extra capacity on campaigning across all of the countries in the region – initially focusing on Egypt.

The Role

Country Coordinators are volunteer activists who lead much of Amnesty UK's work on their countries. From building and developing relationships with embassies and UK government officials, to designing and delivering public campaigning to spotlight human rights abuses – the role is broad, varied and powerful.

Our Country Coordinator team is a group of around 50 individuals, each working on one or more country. We're divided into 13 regional teams of several coordinators, who work together, as well as independently. 

For more information on the kinds of activities our Country Coordinators organise and take part in, check out this page.

About You

You'll be a committed Human Rights activist, able to work independently, and passionate about delivering real human rights outcomes through your campaigning and advocacy work. Experience campaigning, or building professional relations is certainly an advantage, but full training is given, and an open mind and eagerness to learn and develop your skills is vital. We particularly welcome candidates with a knowledge of or connection to the country they will be working on, or with existing knowledge of Amnesty International processes and structures.
