Board Member Jobs

At Public Law Project (PLP), we ensure that public law principles, including the rule of law and human rights, are protected and advanced, with the experiences of those most marginalised in society in mind.

PLP plays a leading role fighting some of the most egregious public law violations of our day. We have worked on issues including the prorogation, the Rwanda policy, the attempt to go back on the promises made to the Windrush generation, and the near total collapse of legal aid, and so much more. Yet you may never have heard of us. We are looking for a Communications and Engagement Director to help us change that.  

With a new government in place, this is an exciting time to raise the profile of PLP and our mission. We are developing a new strategy which we expect to crystalise our role countering the rise of the far right, advancing public law into new areas such as preventing Government misuse of AI, and continuing to stand with the most marginalised in society. Your role will be critical in ensuring our voice has impact and we have the resources to implement our strategy. 

You will develop and oversee a new organisational communications plan, focusing on brand-building, and media outreach. Reporting to the CEO directly, you will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team and work closely with the Board and other stakeholders to enhance PLP’s impact and reputation, as well as guide and implement our strategy.

Leading the Communications and Engagement team, you will direct all external communications, provide thought leadership for PLP events, oversee grant fundraising efforts and relaunch fundraising from philanthropic individuals. You will be an excellent manager providing empowering leadership for members of your team and maintaining and inclusive work culture that promotes staff wellbeing. You will also be great at working with other departments including our casework, research and policy teams. 

This is a permanent, open to full time and part time applications of at least four days per week. PLP offers flexible working from day one, a wide-ranging wellbeing programme, 25 days annual leave (plus festive period closure), and 10% employer pension after 12 months. 

PLP is an equal opportunity and Disability Confident Employer, and we place a high value on diversity. We are proud of our strong diversity right across the organisation and at all levels of seniority. We have significant numbers of staff who come from underprivileged or minoritised backgrounds (including people of colour, women, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds). The majority of our staff and trustees have lived experience that relates to our work. Whether you are part of all or none of these groups, you will be welcomed at PLP. 

As part of our commitment to recruit fairly we use anonymised-selection processes until interview, make an additional interview available for the highest-scoring candidates from under-represented communities, and use ‘tie-breaker’ provisions at all stages of our selection process.

We are seeking a talented and experienced leader to join our Strategic Leadership Team.

You will have a compassionate heart and be deeply motivated by your evangelical Christian faith to lead the financial management and operations of this respected Christian Ministry.

Your experience in operations or business development within the charity sector will ensure that Release International’s day-to-day operations remain compliant, responsive, effective and efficient.

Your significant competence in financial management will enable you to analyse financial information, and other data, to support decision making at a senior level.

Your proven track record of strategic planning, team building, proactive risk management, and ability to manage multiple deadlines and projects will be essential to the role.

As the lead for all aspects of ‘People and Culture’, you will use your excellent people skills and positive outlook to empower and encourage others towards success, promoting and modelling our person-centred Christian ethos, culture and values.
