Media and Communications Traineeship – Amnesty

Media & Digital Communications Assistant

Amnesty International’s European Institutions Office (EIO) is looking for a media & digital communications trainee to support the work of the Head of Media & Communications in delivering and implementing EIO’s media and communications work. In doing so under their guidance, the trainee will acquire enhanced skills in these areas of work as well as a deep understanding of how human rights work is dealt with in practice. The successful candidate will join their team in Brussels from mid-September 2014 for ten months until mid-July 2015.

This is an important external-facing traineeship that will increase the impact of the EIO’s communications work, by raising the profile of the EIO amongst the Brussels press corps and European Union (EU) stakeholders, in support of the delivery of the office’s strategic objectives. The traineeship would suit a highly motivated, organised, professional and creative person who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is flexible and willing to take on new opportunities, and is looking to gain experience in communications work in a multilateral environment. Previous trainees have gone on to hold communications roles in government, work as free-lance journalists, and taken up offers for journalism graduate schemes.

The traineeship implies a number of administrative tasks and requires flexibility with regards to assignments of tasks and level of responsibilities.

Deadline for application: 28 June 2014
