Migrant Justice Campaigns & Movement Building Coordinator at People & Planet

Our universities directly profit from violence against migrating people through investments in the companies that enthusiastically make border injustices possible. We want to build a world free from borders, and as a first step our Divest Borders Campaign is demanding that our universities divest from the border industry.

As the Migrant Justice Campaigns and Movement Building Coordinator you will play a key role in ensuring the success of this campaign, developing campaign materials, supporting student groups and providing training to students in the network.

People from Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic communities (BAME) are considered to have protected characteristics under the Equalities Act 2010. This internship is aimed at addressing the under-representation and low levels of participation of people from BAME backgrounds within these sectors by offering a paid, entry level opportunity to gain experience and training in campaigning which can be an invaluable first step in breaking into this field. As a result you are only entitled to apply for this internship if you are a member of a BAME community as noted in the eligibility criteria. (As this is a training opportunity, s.158(2)(a) of the Equality Act Employment Statutory Code of Practice applies.)

We encourage applications from people with lived experience of migration, those from the LGBQTIA community, people with disabilities, people with caring responsibilities and other groups typically under-represented in campaigning organisations. We are committed to make reasonable adjustments to enable any candidate to show their suitability for a role within People & Planet.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the hostile environment, applicants must be able to prove they have the right to live and work in the UK.
