Advocacy Manager (Sabbatical Cover)

Come and help us stop the arms trade fuelling wars and genocide.

Last updated 17 February 2026

CAAT is recruiting sabbatical cover for our Advocacy Manager. Working closely with our Research and Campaigns colleagues, you will be responsible for Parliamentary and legal work, and for liaison with relevant partner organisations.

You will have excellent communication and relationship-building skills, to help you build and nurture partnerships with parliamentarians at all levels and with organisations and networks who share CAAT’s goals.

You will have good knowledge of how to use parliamentary procedures to achieve campaign goals, strong experience of monitoring and responding to Parliamentary activity related to core campaign issues.

Your experience of engaging with individual parliamentarians and with formal consultation processes as part of a wider campaign strategy will be vital in ensuring that CAAT builds on existing support in Parliament to advance our key campaigns and help shift public attitudes towards the arms trade.

This is a 13-month, four-day per week post, based either in our London office, or working from home (if within easy travelling distance of London – as this role requires regular in person availability in London), with a salary of £47,898 (£59,873 pro rata), including London weighting, plus 8% into a pension that doesn’t invest in the arms trade.
