Web Content Design Manager (2174)
Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.
That means we tackle the inequality that keeps people poor. Together, we save, protect and rebuild lives. When disaster strikes, we help people build better lives for themselves, and for others. We take on issues like land rights, climate change and discrimination against women. And we won't stop until every person on the planet can enjoy life free from poverty.
We are an international confederation of 21 organisations (affiliates) working together with partners and local communities in the areas of humanitarian, development and campaigning, in more than 70 countries.
Oxfam Great Britain has the goal of funding the global movement to overcome poverty and building a UK movement for change and solidarity. Taking on the inequality behind poverty can feel like a lot. But we've each got an important part to play. A fairer world will take us all, so together we must act. Because there is no them, just us.
