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.

We are looking to recruit an Advocacy and Campaigns Manager to drive and deliver the implementation of impactful advocacy and campaigns, which actively engage Embrace supporters and UK Christians and church leaders to amplify the voices of our partners and bring about change for their contexts in the Middle East.

You will have project management expertise, particularly in crafting and launching advocacy initiatives aimed at influencing key stakeholders and institutions, with a focus on establishing clear campaign objectives and ensuring timely, budget-compliant delivery of campaign activities.

In the context of this role, a strong theological insight into regional issues is essential, enabling the candidate to navigate the interplay between political and theological matters when collaborating with churches. 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.
