International Capacity Building Coordinator
Fixed-term contract of one year in duration
London
£41,124 per annum
If we’re to improve human rights in over 150 countries, we must always strive to improve ourselves. Our Organizational Development professionals make us more effective in the countries that need our help the most. And you’ll make sure those professionals are equipped to deliver the best solutions possible.
About the role
Our International Mobilisation Programme (IMP) harnesses Organizational Development to make Amnesty entities worldwide even more effective. Joining a team of Organizational Development professionals, you’ll work with them to build the capacity of Amnesty entities throughout the global south and east. It will be down to you to deliver the tools and written materials that the Organizational Development professionals need to make a real difference. You might be involved in training, generating new resources or proving vital information. And by strengthening their ability to offer a wide range of support, your expertise will reinforce the work of human rights activists, and help to diversify and grow our supporter base.
About you
We’ll expect you to help develop and promote a coordinated, best practice approach to both capacity building and Organizational Development. So you must have already designed projects and materials that support capacity building, preferably within an international organization. As a result, you’ll be familiar with both the theory and the practice as well as the relevant tools and techniques. Ideally you’ll also be fluent in French or Spanish as well as English.
About us
Our aim is simple: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied. Already our network of over three million members and supporters is making a difference in 150 countries. And whether we’re applying pressure through powerful research or direct lobbying, mass demonstrations or online campaigning, we’re all inspired by hope for a better world. One where human rights are respected and protected by everyone, everywhere.
Closing date: 15th July 2012.
