The Role

Country Coordinators are volunteer activists who lead much of Amnesty UK's work on their countries. From building and developing relationships with other organisations and activists 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 60 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.
