We are committed to continue building an environment that embraces diversity and includes all.

Context

We are building a church-based movement against poverty, delivering the right messages at the right times to inspire action and support. Our goal is to strengthen the CAP supporter and church movement to "Face it, Fight it, End it - Together."

We inspire our supporters to give, act, and pray, demonstrating hope to those burdened by debt and poverty. We highlight how God uses CAP to mobilise people and churches, transforming lives, churches, communities and society itself.

Above all they will be driven by a commitment to see nature’s recovery across Birmingham and the Black Country’s urban landscape.

These are flexible roles, based in our offices within Birmingham, with frequent travel regionally but with the option of working from home, where appropriate. Occasional travel nationally may be required.

Benefits include 28 days of annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata), a 7% employer contribution pension, flexible and hybrid working opportunities, an Employee Assistance Programme and working alongside a supportive and friendly group of nature lovers!

About Reprieve

Reprieve works with people whose circumstances have made them extremely vulnerable. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again.

In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing.

We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues.

Reprieve’s main office is in Aldgate, London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, 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 clients, 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 this role

The Deputy Director, Legal and Governance is responsible for providing independent, strategic and proactive legal advice to Reprieve and is a critical member of the Senior Management Team. This is an exciting and varied role in which no two days are the same. You will have the opportunity to interact with inspiring people throughout Reprieve as well as those outside of Reprieve who are integral partners in our work. 

The Deputy Director, Legal and Governance will be a UK-based qualified solicitor or barrister, or have an equivalent qualification from another jurisdiction with sufficient experience working within the UK in a legal capacity either in private practice or in-house environment.

The Deputy Director, Legal and Governance will report to Reprieve’s Board and its Risk Committee; and attend, observe and minute meetings of our Finance Committee and Nominations Committee. They will be expected to play a key role in any special ad-hoc committees established by the Board from time to time, for instance, in the event of a serious incident occurring.

All staff will feel confident to approach the Deputy Director, Legal and Governance with challenging legal questions that cut across Reprieve cases, fundraising and operations. Trustees will feel confident to entrust you to support the SMT in managing risks at Reprieve, and third parties such as suppliers and external counsel will feel comfortable liaising with you, even when the issues being discussed are complex and confidential.

Collaboration is at the heart of Reprieve’s strategy. The Deputy Director, Legal and Governance will have a proven ability to think pragmatically and laterally, to provide sound judgement, to work and collaborate well with teams, and to communicate effectively. They will be wholly committed to the clients Reprieve serves and the issues that Reprieve seeks to address.

Location, contract and salary

The role is a part-time (four days per week) permanent position with an annual salary of £53,620.80 FTE (pro-rated to £53,621 for a four-day week) per annum less any required deductions for income tax and national insurance.
