CND Campaigns Officers
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament is looking for two dynamic and experienced Campaigns Officers with a commitment to its campaigning priorities to join its staff team.
The Campaigns Officer (Youth and Community Engagement) is principally responsible for increasing the public profile and campaigning success of CND’s issues with young people and with civil society organisations. Other areas of responsibility will include the organisation of CND events such as conferences, public meetings and presence at festivals, producing effective, accessible information, overseeing links with high profile supporters and much more.
The Campaigns Officer (Parliamentary) is primarily responsible for increasing the effectiveness of CND’s parliamentary lobbying and campaigning, at UK and European levels. Other areas of responsibility will include lobbying decision-makers at all levels, producing effective, accessible information, organising CND’s presence at political party conferences and more.
They are both challenging roles and the successful candidates will be highly motivated, able to work within a clear brief and willing to work flexibly according to CND's campaigning needs. If you have excellent organisational skills, experience of implementing or planning campaigns and a commitment to our goals, then CND wants to hear from you.

Internships
Internships at Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) offer the opportunity for individuals to further their career goals while helping CND to campaign non-violently to rid the world of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, creating genuine security for future generations.
As many graduates discover, salaried opportunities within the non-governmental sector are limited, consequently competition for such positions is great. By gaining valid work experience with CND, graduates can increase their potential for employment considerably.
Interns will have the opportunity to participate in CND projects in various ways, such as helping to source information for fact sheets, briefings and reports, assisting in researching information for educational packs, and helping with our news and press service. Interns will also assume various programmatic and administrative duties associated with CND's activities.
Interns should have excellent research, writing, editing and organisational skills. Familiarity with computers is required, as well as an ability to use the Internet. Interns are asked to work one or two days (or 8-16 hours) per week so that they can establish a sense of continuity and undertake substantive assignments. It is preferable if volunteers are able to make a commitment of at least 6 months. Longer and shorter internships are possible upon arrangement.
How to apply
CND are in need of interns throughout the year. Prior arrangements may be made for internships at different times. Please submit by mail or e-mail to the address below the following applications material:
-
A cover letter, describing the reasons for your interest in working at CND, when you are available to begin, and how many days a week you wish to work;
