Sustaining the active and powerful social impact of Christian-led NGOs in this amazing and diverse region is what drives us. The challenges are immense. But the sense of purpose is strong.
Advocacy is a growing part of our work, inspired and guided by the voices of our partners – primarily speaking and acting in relation to:
- Issues of peace, justice and equal rights in Israel and Palestine.
- Refugees and internally displaced people across the Middle East.
- The presence and role of Christians in the Middle East.
Informed by Christian voices from the Middle East, we engage with Bishops, church leaders, and politicians, and work to educate and mobilise the UK church to advocate for change.

Main responsibilities:
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation to develop and deliver impactful and engaging campaigns into the political sphere with a view to seeing policy and practice changes that will benefit Embrace’s partners and the communities they serve.
- Project manage the delivery of Embrace’s advocacy campaigns strategy for justice and inclusion in the Middle East.
- Work with the Partnership Managers and Church Engagement Team to maintain a nuanced and well-informed understanding of relevant policy, political, theological, church-related and development issues in the region and in the UK.

Their professional capabilities will be complemented by a deep commitment to advancing Embrace’s advocacy efforts, aligning with the charity’s mission and values to transform the lives of marginalised people and communities.
Due to the Christian context of the position, it is subject to an occupational requirement under the Equality Act that you should be a practising Christian who shares our values and ethos at a profound level.
At Embrace, our team enjoys remote and flexible working arrangements, with the opportunity to start your day between 7.30am and 10am and finish between 3pm and 6pm.
