About Reprieve
Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.
Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.
Reprieve’s main office is in Whitechapel, London. Reprieve also supports full-time Consultants, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to beneficiaries, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.
About the consultancy
Reprieve’s Operations team works with colleagues and consultants in Reprieve’s London office, in Washington DC and around the globe on HR, office management, IT, safety and security, procurement and general operations. The HR Operations Consultant will join the Operations team to cover a planned absence, working from our office in Whitechapel.
The consultancy will focus on HR processes and administration to cover the full employee lifecycle. This will include:
· Recruitment administration and coordination for staff roles
· Drafting HR documents
· Ensuring Reprieve’s HRS is up-to-date at all times
· Answering routine queries
· Supporting the recruitment of academic and postgraduate fellows
· Annual leave logs and balance calculations.
The consultant will also support the operations team with ongoing projects.
The consultancy is for 5 days per week and will be based in our office in Whitechapel.
Required expertise
The consultant should have previously worked in an HR focussed position, ideally for a small or medium sized charity. Experience in managing recruitment is essential. Working knowledge of HR Software would be desirable; Reprieve uses Breathe HR.
