About Reprieve

Reprieve is a human rights NGO founded in 1999 which uses strategic interventions (using the law, policy work and public advocacy) 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. We seek to promote and protect the rights of those facing the death penalty around the world, 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.

The Interim Deputy Executive Director will join the brilliant senior leadership team at Reprieve to help build and lead the work of the organization.

The ideal candidate will ideally have experience of leadership of a small to medium size human rights or similar charity, preferably with some international operations. They will have exceptionally strong management and people management skills, excellent judgment, proven ability to lead teams to achieve impact in their work, and an understanding of charity governance and finance issues.

Pay: Appropriate National Minimum Wage 

Street Child are delighted to launch the next round of our associate scheme, with placements available for outstanding, highly motivated individuals looking to launch, or progress, a career in the humanitarian/development sector. The Street Child Associate programme is a fantastic entry-level opportunity to gain a breadth of experience whilst making a serious contribution to one of the UK’s fastest growing international development organisations - at a crucial time. 

This is not an internship where you ‘do the photocopying and make the tea’. You will be doing important, varied, hands-on work from day one. Moreover, Street Child has an unparalleled track-record of rewarding outstanding Associates with permanent positions in the UK team; and/or the opportunity to be seconded to one of our country programmes, for those considering a field-career in humanitarian/development. 

Associates will have the opportunity to build skills and experience across a breadth of core fundraising disciplines, as well as excellent exposure to the broader programmatic work of the charity, with opportunities for engagement. Key duties may include: research; proposal drafting, design and writing; supporter engagement; participant support & management (for our events & sponsored challenges); data management and administration; communication support (including social media). Prior experience in any of these areas is not essential but would be beneficial. What is essential is demonstrating outstanding aptitude, passion, and the desire to make an impact and progress your personal development, fast. Training is provided. 

This is a demanding role (lots of adverts say this, to be clear: here it is true) - and is suited to passionate, ambitious individuals who enjoy being busy, stretched and working hard (actually – again these are not just trite advert lines; this opportunity is only appropriate for those for whom this is accurate!). 

Associate roles are paid at the appropriate National Minimum Wage rate and are initially expected to work 3 – 5 days a week during the first 3 months. This arrangement may be positively reviewed at the 3-month stage, especially in the case of excellent performance. 

You would be primarily working from our Central London office. 

Key requirements: 

• Demonstrable passion for, and desire to build a career in, the international development/humanitarian sector; 
• Excellent inter-personal and communication skills; 
• Strong organisational abilities; 
• Super flexible, willing attitude - will excel at frequently moving between different tasks, as business needs dictate. 
• Strong academic results and qualifications (e.g. a relevant Masters) are naturally a significant advantage – but we will absolutely consider all engaging, passionate applications. Candidates who demonstrate superb writing abilities will be prioritised. 
• Diversity is important to us at Street Child. We especially welcome applications from, and expect to offer associateships to candidates with backgrounds typically under-represented in the sector and/or reflecting the communities we seek to serve. 

About Street Child:

Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic and structural issues that underpin today’s education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa,  South Asia and Ukraine. Since 2008 we have helped over 1,000,000 children to be safe, in school and learning. 

How to Apply: 

To apply for this fantastic opportunity, please send your CV and a compelling covering letter as a combined/single document (max 3-pages) link listed.

Using your communication and engagement skills, you’ll be helping to make a difference to the lives of thousands of people experiencing homelessness right now. 

We’re an open, friendly, and dedicated team. We love to learn and between us have a broad range of communication and technical skills. We work hard to support one another as well as the wider organisation and are never too busy to share our thoughts or offer an extra pair of hands. 

Hours: 35 per week (we are also open to candidates looking to work 28 hours per week or compressed hours as per Crisis’ Flexible Working Policy)

Location: Based in our London office, close to Liverpool Street and Aldgate (we are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy)

Our colleagues work in a huge variety of roles and are based in lots of different locations. It’s our job to help make sure everyone has access to the information and tools they need to do their best work, regardless of where they’re based or when and how they work. This might mean making sure they have access to guidance to help them support a vulnerable member (the people we support); sharing information on a new staff benefit, such as our network of Mental Health First Aiders; or an invitation to learn about our latest campaign or fundraising event. 

When it comes to sharing information and bringing people together, your role will be key. We’re well networked across the organisation and have a wide range of communication tools and channels in place, but we know we can do better. You’ll be encouraged to share your thoughts and ideas and to explore your curious side. 

Day to day you’ll work with stakeholders across Crisis to help raise awareness and understanding of our strategic goals and to build engagement and excitement around our cultural ambitions. You’ll contribute to the wider work of the Employee Communication and Engagement team and our priorities for 2024.

You’ll report to the Head of Employee Communications and Engagement and will be supported by our Employee Communications and Events Assistant, as well as colleagues across the organisation who will share their expertise and knowledge and help you to build your own network of peers. 

About you 

We’re looking for an experienced communications expert who has planned, managed, and evaluated strategic engagement for either internal or external audiences; someone who is people-focused with great interpersonal skills. Someone who can build and maintain strong working relationships with colleagues in all parts of the organisation. 

You’ll be committed to strengthening the voice of our staff and to influence the way we share information and knowledge, including our strategic priorities. 

You’re curious, creative, and open to new ideas, pushing us as a team and encouraging others to think about different ways to engage and build connections. 

You’ll bring experience of delivering communication campaigns to diverse audiences and will be confident in using a variety of digital tools to support great engagement. If there’s something you don’t know, you’ll look for ways to learn and boost your skills.

You understand the importance of planning ahead, are proactive and can use your own initiative to troubleshoot challenges and prioritise. 

We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
