About us:
Peace Brigades International (PBI) is an international NGO with over 40 years’ experience providing life-saving protection and support to hundreds of brave human rights defenders who face reprisals because of their activism for social justice. PBI’s trademark protective accompaniment teams in Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal and Nicaragua are supported by teams elsewhere in the world, such as our UK section (to which these roles are affiliated). We carry out high-level advocacy for laws, policies and practices which support human rights defenders and hold corporations to account, as well as fundraising with an emphasis on trusts and foundations.
About the Roles:
-
You will work closely with PBI UK’s Director, PBI UK’s Advocacy Manager and PBI International Co-Executive Directors to ensure that we have the systems, relationships, research and written outputs to effectively fundraise for PBI’s global work, as well as to advocate for laws, policies and actions to protect human rights defenders.

You will be part of a small team that builds, maintains and harnesses external relations with politicians, donors, civil servants, NGOs, human rights activists and other stakeholders in order to support human rights and environmental change.
-
Grant-writing and donor reporting at PBI is less about form-filling and more about concise, creative and persuasive writing. Our policy research is directly applied through our advocacy campaigns.

FAQs about the recruitment process:
Q. I don’t have experience in all of the areas listed above, should I still apply?
A. Yes! Please use your application to emphasise what of the above you feel you do best.
Q. What will my role be if I am successful in this process?
A. Final job descriptions and titles will be agreed together with the successful candidates. A role might be built around skills such as writing and communications, or it might be built around a work area such as advocacy or grants management. It is also possible that two holistic roles might be created but with a division of tasks. No one role will be expected to do everything, and every role will seek to balance existing experience with potential for growth.
Q. What is the process and timeline for this recruitment?
A. We will inform candidates if they’ve been selected for an interview by April 9, with interviews and tests taking place online April 7 - April 16. We hope to conclude recruitment by April 26 with start dates from June 1. We will assess applications on a rolling basis and retain the right to close the process early, in which case this advert will be removed from our website. All candidates will receive a response, with feedback restricted to interviewees on request.
Q. If I am successful, how often will I be expected to work from PBI’s office in London?
A. We are open to applications from candidates wishing to work entirely remotely. However, all candidates should expect to travel to London yearly and maybe more often.

Q. What is the difference between PBI UK and PBI and where do these roles fit?
A. PBI is a global NGO made up of teams/sections which work together to enhance the security and impact of the human rights defenders we support. The roles in this advert will be employed by PBI’s UK section but will work closely with both PBI’s International Secretariat and other sections (including ‘frontline teams’ providing direct protection to threatened activists) to ensure our UK and global fundraising and advocacy are as effective as possible.
What staff say about working at PBI UK:

No matter what position you hold, your voice will be heard and your ideas valued - it is a place where you can choose to grow in any and all directions to cultivate deep knowledge and an expansive skillset.” Yadira Sánchez-Esparza, former PBI UK volunteer & consultant
“Working with PBI UK is incredibly rewarding. I've had the opportunity to meet and support human rights defenders and community leaders, who shared their stories and hardships with me. I'm so grateful to be able to contribute to raising their voices, and for the trust they instil in me to do so. Their individual and collective defence of human rights is truly inspiring, even when they face the most difficult circumstances and reprisals.” Christina Challis, PBI UK Advocacy Manager
“With a defender-centered approach, and a team that genuinely cares for one another and for protecting and promoting human rights and environmental defenders, it is both a privilege and a joy to be part of PBI UK. Everyone is working towards the shared goal of providing holistic support to defenders at risk. We openly share ideas as a team, and I feel truly supported, both personally and professionally.

Lorna Ní Shúilleabháin, PBI UK Programme Support Consultant
What key stakeholders say about PBI:
“Without PBI, the work and defence of human rights in Colombia would not have been possible at the level it is today… I think PBI’s support was fundamental in saving the lives of many of my colleagues.”
Sebastián Escobar Uribe, human rights lawyer from CCAJAR, Colombia
“I think what I most admire about PBI is the fact that you’re very close to defenders in places that are very hostile ... When I started out, PBI was one of the organisations I looked to for ideas. I really like the accompaniment model.”
Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights defenders
“PBI UK is a strong human rights organisation punching above its weight on a small budget … Staff overwhelmingly feel a sense of teamwork, trust, and commitment to PBI’s mission … Stakeholders identified the skills, network, and thematic expertise of PBI UK’s new Director as a significant strength … Creativity, innovation, out-of-box thinking and a focus on impact were identified by both internal and external stakeholders as key characteristics of PBI UK.”

As Policy and Public Affairs Manager at Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK) you'll be responsible for taking the voices of survivors of cardiac arrest and their families to policy makers, elected representatives, and other decision-makers in each nation of the UK.
You'll have an exceptional understanding of how to build support for legislative and public policy change in Westminster and beyond. You'll lead the development of persuasive, evidence-based, policy arguments that cement our four strategic goals. Working with the wider Communications and Engagement team you’ll ensure that resuscitation continues to be seen as a priority area for decision-makers in government, the NHS and the wider stakeholder community.
The successful candidate will be proactive and high performing, using your expertise to drive real change within our resuscitation community and playing a vital part to contribute to our mission. You will come with a track record of developing effective networks and relationships with civil servants, special advisors, politicians, professional bodies and think tanks.

The post is hybrid working and based in London. The successful candidate is expected to attend the office one day per week.
Main responsibilities
You will have design and delivery responsibility for policy and public affairs across the UK. You will work to implement policy change by tailoring our policy recommendations to targeted influencing opportunities.

The role involves:
- Cross-team working with a focus on providing support across a range of key campaigning areas.
- Taking the lead on report writing and blogs to effectively communicate our initiatives to key decision makers.
- Monitoring parliamentary activity and identify opportunities to influence policy development, legislation and service provision in line with RCUK’s strategic goals.
- Producing accessible and concise briefings to ensure RCUK’s research is presented clearly, in a way that makes it useful to policy and decision makers at a local and national level.
- Building new partnerships and strengthen existing relationships with likeminded organisations in line with our strategic plan, so we can broaden our reach.
Supporting the Director of Communications and Engagement, the successful candidate will lead and facilitate high-level influence and interaction with the wider statutory sector across all four nations, as that’s where decisions on training and commissioning are made that will have a crucial impact on RCUK’s work.
