Committee Member

The Board and Leadership team at Charity People is thrilled to be partnering with Amnesty International UK on their 2025 Board Recruitment.

Amnesty International UK:

Amnesty International UK operates in the UK as two distinct legal entities: Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust (‘the Charitable Trust’), and Amnesty International United Kingdom Section (‘the UK Section’). Each entity is governed by its own Board with the two working together and co-operating but remaining independent. Each Board operates and makes decisions based on the long-term interests of their respective entity and within the constraints imposed by applicable UK law, their separate constitutions and the overall rules of the global Amnesty International movement.

People Culture Inclusion and Safeguarding Committee (PCISC):

The PCISC is primarily focused on People and Safeguarding policies, practices and culture relating to AIUK workforce and governance. However, it also has an important role to play in contributing to People policies, practices and culture of the wider AIUK movement. PCISC does not have responsibility for operational People Team matters at AIUK, nor does it replace formal channels and procedures for dealing with individual ER issues

The PCISC is a joint sub-committee of the boards of both the Amnesty International United Kingdom Section (‘Section’) and the Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust (‘Trust’).

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Advises on, and monitors the implementation of, AIUK’s People approach, reporting to the respective Boards as appropriate;
• Advises on and monitors the implementation of AIUK’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism (IDEA) plan, as it relates to AIUK workforce in particular;
• Advises on, reviews and monitors AIUK equality, diversity, and inclusion metrics and the use made of such measures in improving policies, practices and culture on inclusion, diversity, equity and anti-racism within the workforce and the wider movement;
• Provides input to help ensure AIUK People policies, processes, and practices are relevant, up to date, and conform to all relevant standards and good practice; reviews and approves any significant or fundamental changes to People Policies

Time commitment:

• Appointed members of the PCISC shall be appointed for a period of three years and be eligible for a further three-year period thereafter.
• Meetings will normally be held four times a year. Additional meetings may be organised by mutual agreement or at the direct request of the PCISC Chair

How to Apply:

We will host a Q&A webinar with AIUK at 6pm on Thursday 10th April 2025, where they will share further insights and answer any additional questions you may have. In the first instance send your CV and we will forward you the recruitment pack as well as the link to register to attend this webinar.

Closing date: 5pm 16th May 2025
First Interviews: w/c 16th June

We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
