Journalist Jobs

Job Purpose

In our fight for a fairer, greener future, Good Law Project has previously embarked on a series of legal interventions focused on the activities of 55 Tufton Street. From undisclosed donors and misinformation to astroturfing and lobbying, we intend to continue our work debasing the Tufton Street lobby groups and think tanks like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Restore Trust and Institute for Economic Affairs.

We are therefore commissioning further investigation of “Dark Money” that flows through Tufton Street in the guise of charitable funds. The Charity Commission exists to prevent this abuse, and that will be a key focus of this work. We are offering a one-year, fixed term contract to an experienced investigative journalist, to supply Good Law Project with a pipeline of exposés that will win commissions from the UK’s leading news outlets, including broadcast where possible, thereby contributing to the exposure of the Tufton Street axis, and helping to clean up our politics. 

What we're looking for

• Track record of powerful investigative journalism, successfully pitching and bringing newsworthy stories of illicit activity conducted by harmful organisations or individuals to public attention
• Experience of reporting and managing risk (whilst still having appetite for substantial risk)
• Demonstrable experience of self-managing, remote working, reporting on a regular basis to the commissioning client
• Experience of working with open source data and proprietary databases
• Demonstrable experience of working with different departments across an organisation
• Great strategic nous – knowing when to push and when to find another route
• Digital journalist – instinct and experience for publishing across text, video, social media

What we do

• Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation which uses the law to hold power to account and fight for a fairer, greener future. We take on the cases and campaigns where we’ll have the biggest impact, even when the odds are stacked against us.
• We had a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament in 2019. We successfully challenged the Government’s operation of a fast track ‘VIP lane’ for awarding lucrative PPE contracts to those with political connections and our campaigning played a key role in the Met Police opening an investigation into Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal. In July 2023, we forced the Government to accept that its flagship Net Zero strategy is unlawful and to develop a better plan.
• We get a positive outcome in more than two thirds of our cases – either a straightforward or a partial legal win. But whether we win or lose in court, we always fight to make positive change.
• See our website for more about what we do

Key Details

Salary: £60,000 per annum with generous benefits including 25 days annual holiday plus public holidays, enhanced pension contribution, private medical health insurance, life assurance, and flexible/hybrid working.

Hours: 35 per week over 5 days

Contract type: This is a full time permanent role. Some flexibility on hours may be available.

About the media team

Amnesty UK's media team is called upon by most departments to showcase, promote and publicise their work. There is no campaign, event, stunt, publication, piece of research or other product which doesn't look to the press team for support and press coverage. 

In many ways, the media team bookends much of the organisation's most high-profile campaigning work - starting with media strategies, through to crafting messaging, briefing spokespeople, issuing press releases, connecting with journalists and setting up interviews. The media coverage achieved is often considered to be a key indicator in how a campaign or report has performed against the organisation's objectives.

Amnesty UK has ambitious campaigning and growth targets up to 2026 and you will play a vital role in helping to deliver those targets.

This will be achieved by developing media strategies, organising media interviews and producing the relevant materials such as press releases, fast reactive quotes, opinion pieces and letter to editors.

You will be working across a variety of areas, but there will be a specific focus on UK human rights issues which includes racial justice, economic, social and cultural rights, business and human rights, corporate partnerships and community led programs across the country.

The media work on these campaign areas will be designed to deliver real human rights change and help increase the number of Amnesty supporters in the UK.

You will also monitor breaking news stories to ensure Amnesty UK reacts quickly and powerfully. And be part of an out of hours on call rota.
