Job Details

The leading Israel-Palestine pro-peace advocacy movement of British Jews, Yachad, is looking to recruit a Director of Communications to join our team in order to lead our communications strategy. The successful candidate will be directly involved in driving forward our campaigns and political work. This is a great opportunity for someone who is passionate about Israel-Palestine and has good experience in communications, advocacy and campaigning.

About Yachad

Since 2011 Yachad has worked in the Jewish community to ensure there is vocal support within Anglo-Jewry for a political resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict and an end to occupation. There are two key elements to Yachad’s work. The first is community engagement, which includes educational programmes aimed at raising levels of awareness within the community about the conflict and holding communal organisations to account over how they represent the views of members of the Jewish community in relation to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The other aspect is the public-facing work we do with the media and political stakeholders to ensure that the active support that exists within the community for resolution to the conflict is adequately heard by decision-makers.
