GetUp is looking for a digitally-savvy Campaigns Assistant to help drive highly impactful campaigns on a wide range of human rights issues.
SCHADS Classification Level 3, salary range $65,919.88 - $68,681.93 per annum (pro-rata) + superannuation, determined by relevant experience and qualifications. This is a permanent, full-time role based in Sydney.
At GetUp, we know our capacity to drive progressive change is increased when our team has a diversity of backgrounds and experience. We are actively looking for applicants from a diverse range of genders, cultures, language groups, abilities, and experiences to apply.
The GetUp movement is powered by the values and hopes of one million members, movement partners and a central team of expert strategists. We work together to take action for extraordinary impact.
We focus our campaigns on the areas our members care about most in the fields of First Nations Justice, Environmental Justice, Human Rights, Economic Fairness, and Democratic Integrity. From making sure hundreds of thousands of people are able to vote in elections, to successfully stopping major projects threatening the Great Barrier Reef, or fighting against a regime of deterrence for people seeking asylum – we have a decade-long history of mobilising our movement for change.
GetUp’s Human Rights Team focuses on campaign areas relating to racial justice, justice and safety for asylum seekers and refugees, a fair and equitable migration program and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people, women, people with disabilities and other marginalised communities, and more. The Human Rights Team also drives Colour Code – a platform for migrant, multicultural and First Nations communities to organise around issues of racial justice, led by staff with lived experience. The team prides itself on inspiring the diversity of people across our movement to take action for change.
Our days are filled with analysing the political state of play, developing long-term and rapid-fire campaign strategy, engagement with human rights organisations and affected communities, speaking to politicians and the media, running impactful tactics (everything from loud protests to undercover investigations), writing hard-hitting copy, using new media for creative storytelling, and coming up with innovative ways to give everyday people the best chance for impact.
If even a couple of these criteria speak to you, you could be the perfect person for the job. Formal education, qualifications and extensive experience matter less to us than excellence, initiative and drive.
