Corby & Kettering Amnesty International is the local branch of Amnesty International. You would join us in campaigning for individuals and groups whose Human Rights have been restricted.

Skills

  • Good written and oral communication skills       
  • Experience of team-working     
  • Basic IT competency (email, word processing, etc.) and internet access
