ActionAid is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. Our dedicated local staff are changing the world with women and girls. We are ending violence and fighting poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.

As Senior Advocacy Advisor, you will ensure that ActionAid UK’s women’s rights advocacy messages, policy reports, advocacy and campaign strategies and external messaging are clear, coherent and deliver change.

A key focus of your role as a specialist within Women’s Rights, will be for you to seek opportunities to promote ActionAid as a thought leader on women’s rights and international development.
