Dear Candidate, 
Thank you for your interest in the solicitor role at the Black Equity Organisation. 
The role will be a stimulating and inspiring opportunity for an experienced equality and discrimination lawyer to work pro actively and strategically to use the law as a tool for change. 

BEO is a civil rights charity that was set up to challenge and dismantle systemic racism. We work with Black communities by using campaigning, policy and research in conjunction with the law to effect meaningful change. 
Legal services are central to BEO. We are therefore looking for someone of 4yrs PQE who has experience in social welfare, human rights, public and administration law and who seeks an opportunity to use those skills specifically in the area of challenging systemic racism. 

In the last year we have been developing our relationships with partner organisations, ranging from community groups, our stakeholder law firms, NGOs and law firms experienced in equality and discrimination law, to deliver legal services. The role holder will be required to build on and expand these relationships so that BEO can offer quality legal advice to Back communities in the nations and regions across the United Kingdom. 
We are building our internal legal team so that we can provide targeted legal support to Black communities. We are looking for someone to work with the Director of Legal Services and Policy to ensure that high quality legal advice, support and representation are the hallmark of BEO. 

Apart from delivering targeted legal advice and representation and identifying and running strategic litigation cases, the role holder will be required to think creatively to assist in fundraising and campaigning to develop a sustainable legal service. BEO does not have a Legal Aid Agency contract so self funds all legal work. BEO is a small team, so the role holder must have the skills and confidence to work on their own initiative as well as with members of other teams in BEO. 

About You-
We are looking for someone who is excited about being part of a team that will build a legal service and who can work with Black communities and be guided by them. 
You will also be able to demonstrate that you are aware that Black communities are not homogeneous and you will bring this understanding to the way that you approach your work and interact with clients, our partners and community organisations. 

Your qualities will include an understanding that intersectionality is relevant in all that we do at BEO and that your assessment of how we use the law will be seen through that lens. 

You will be someone who has lived experience of or insight and comprehension of the impact of racism on all aspects of the lives of members of Black communities. 

In return we offer flexible, hybrid working from day one, a 5% employer pension contribution, a generous leave, maternity and parental leave package together with a strong focus on wellbeing and the chance to be part of the task of dismantling structural racism

Are you passionate about creating great content and great experiences, with a heart for justice? 

We are looking for a Content Designer who will be responsible for researching, structuring and writing user-centred content that delivers a seamless experience for Tearfund's supporters. Working alongside other disciplines (UX Designers, Marketing, Digital Producers, Graphic Designer, Video Producer) you will identify user and business needs and create solutions to meet those needs.

You will spend time testing, writing and optimising content for Tearfund's channels (website, email, social media and print) in collaboration with marketing teams and subject matter experts within our content production workflow.

Our successful candidate will have:

• Experience using data and insights to plan user centred content and user journey maps
• Proven track record of high quality copywriting and/or significant editorial experience
• Confidence running workshops and championing content design best practice
• Excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills

Poverty is not God's plan. You are. We believe that we all play a part in ending extreme poverty and using our God-given skills to make a difference.

Do your skills, experience and passion match the above? Then we'd love to hear from you!

We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and those from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds (in our UK workforce) as these groups are currently under-represented at Tearfund.

Hybrid Working: This role is eligible for hybrid working and you will be required to work from the Teddington Tearfund office and from your home by agreement with the line manager.

All applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs.

The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.

Passionate about making a real difference? Want to help shape and grow a dynamic prison charity initiative? Beating Time helps to reduce reoffending and change lives by supporting people’s mental health in prison and helping them into work on release.

Beating Time is looking for somebody to join our small and friendly team as a Graduate Fundraiser. We are ideally looking for somebody with a passion for social justice and who wants to develop their career in the charity sector.

About us

Beating Time is a charity with a difference. We run two programmes.

Choirs Beating Time runs weekly choir year-round in 9 prisons, building positive communities and improving mental health and inclusion. Over 1000 people have sung with us in the last 10 years. Through the support of our singing groups participants develop crucial life skills, rediscover a non-criminal identity and meet people who believe in them. Through performances they also have the opportunity to spend better quality time with their family.

Inside Job, is an Employment Consultancy with a difference. It was co-created by a serving prisoner, who is very much part of our Team, and the Charity, Beating Time. Recognising the huge barriers people who have served a sentence face to re-entering the workplace, we realised a specialized service was needed. A service which collapses the space between Employers, who want to use their recruitment policies to achieve social impact, and people who are serving/ have served a prison sentence.  A service which understands those challenges and works collaboratively to remove them. Employment reduces reoffending by 50% - this is a job worth doing.

Inside Job is unique in 2 ways:

1. We recruit and train serving prisoners as Recruitment Consultants who provide us with our candidate pipeline and work closely alongside us.

2. We take employers into prison to interview Candidates. Job offers are made there and then.

We are an award-winning organisation (Winner of the Robin Corbett award 2020 for prison reintegration & 2 High Sheriff awards) and are powered by individuals who are fuelled by purpose and passionate about what we do. 

About the role

This is a new role that has been created to sit within our London office, working closely with the senior management team as well as our community team. You will get the opportunity to visit our prisons and see first hand how we work, what we do and why it is so important.

Our funding comes from several sources including from Trusts and Foundations, and prison contracts and donations. We are looking for somebody who can continue to build strong relationships with our funders but also find and develop new funding opportunities to help grow and maximise our income.

We will offer extensive training and will fully immerse the right candidate into every aspect of our charity. This role will also strongly link in with the planning and delivery of our strategy and policies.

An interest and appetite in the work will outweigh previous experience.

Highly organised with a great eye for detail.

Very strong communication skills.

Highly literate and numerate  - you will have to write budgets and applications.

Good storyteller with strong writing skills

Wales - Interventions will be delivered across various locations in Wales.

We will also count on you to develop and maintain positive working relationships with external agencies, including probation, prisons, partners, and others who will assist in achieving prescribed outcomes for service users, ensuring you work towards contractual targets and outcomes within agreed timescales.  Using agreed CRM databases and recording all activity relating to caseload and providing updates and reports are also key duties. 

What we are looking for

• Experience working with partner agencies either as part of a multi-agency team working towards common objectives or negotiating to establish links to further the aims of a project
• L3 in Advice and Guidance or equivalent
• The ability to assess clients’ needs and provide tailored, client-led support through action planning and interventions involving advice, guidance, advocacy, and coaching

ELSC is an initiative of the Palestinian NGO Network, comprising 200 Palestinian civil society organisations, developed in response to the widespread repression in Europe of advocacy for Palestinian rights.
