The role:

As Head of Estates & Capital Projects, you will play a vital leadership role in the strategic management and development of our historic and high-profile site on London’s Bankside. With a focus on long-term sustainability, accessibility, and net carbon zero, you will oversee the Estate Strategy, major capital projects, and operational planning to ensure the integrity, functionality, and future of the Globe’s built environment. Working closely with the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) and senior leadership, you will drive innovation, maintain compliance, and foster an engaging, inclusive, and well-managed estate.

This role is strategy first and operations second, as our established Building Operations Team led by the Deputy Head of Estates & Capital Projects manages day-to-day facilities. Instead, your work will be focused on strategic oversight, major capital initiatives, and aligning estate management with the Globe’s broader strategic goals and values.

The skills:

We are looking for an experienced and visionary leader who can balance operational needs with ambitious strategic planning. The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong expertise in estate strategy, capital project management, and sustainable infrastructure.
• A proven track record of delivering major capital projects on time, within budget, and to high compliance standards.
• Experience working with preservations and complex buildings, ensuring accessibility, safety, and long-term functionality.
• A deep understanding of sustainability principles and net carbon zero planning.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to engage, inspire, and work collaboratively with senior leaders, consultants, and teams across the organisation.
• Exceptional communication skills to bring teams along on a journey of change, balancing strategic ambition with practical implementation.
• Knowledge of health and safety regulations, compliance frameworks, and risk management in estates and facilities.

The team:

You will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Group, working closely with the COO and other senior leaders across departments. Collaboration will be essential, particularly with:

• The Deputy Head of Estates & Capital Projects, who leads day-to-day building operations.
• The Head of People & Culture, to ensure estate planning supports inclusive and efficient working environments.
• The Head of Strategic Projects, to align estate developments with space usage systems as well as the broader organisational vision.
• The Access Manager and Access team, to embed accessibility into all estate-related decision-making.
• The Theatre and Visitor Operations teams, to ensure smooth integration of estates strategy into the Globe’s productions and busy daily activities.

About the role

We are looking for an exceptional candidate, someone who can hit the ground running as our Senior Legal Education Officer, working closely with the Director and the rest of our small and dynamic Right to Remain staff team. 

As the Senior Legal Education Officer at Right to Remain, you will be using your in-depth grasp of the historical changes and current developments in the asylum and immigration system and your understanding of how that has affected the communities of people seeking asylum and navigating the immigration system to guide the direction of Right to Remain’s public legal education work. 

You will also be responsible for maintaining, developing, and increasing usage of our highly popular and accessible resources about the asylum and immigration system, most notably the Right to Remain Toolkit. You will deliver interactive workshops on the legal system for people navigating that system as well as professionals and volunteers. You will engage with our network of community groups to ensure that we are apprised of developments on the ground and we are communicating important changes to these support groups. You will also work with the Director to develop and deliver specific public legal education projects. You must have outstanding communication skills and the ability to engage with a wide range of audiences, in a manner that reflects Right to Remain’s mission and values. 

The role will require occasional evening and/or weekend working, for which you will receive time off in lieu (TOIL). The role will also require some travel within the UK. 

Currently, Right to Remain has six staff members. One staff is based in Manchester while the rest of the team is based in London. This post is London-based.

This is a full-time post. We can consider offering it as a part-time, 0.8 FTE post, depending on the successful candidate’s level of experience, skill set, and circumstances.

Please note that you will need to have the right to work in the UK as Right to Remain is unfortunately not in a position to sponsor people for work visas.
 

About Right to Remain     

Right to Remain is a national migration justice organisation, working with hundreds of communities and groups across the UK. As a key anchor organisation within the migration justice movement, we uniquely combine public legal education that democratises knowledge, and facilitates strategic convenings that harness radical solidarity with campaigning and community organising that builds power, further empowering people to establish their right to remain and collectively challenge injustices of the immigration and asylum system. Our vision is a world where everyone can exercise their right to remain where they need to be with dignity and humanity. Our values are agency, people power, mutual aid, solidarity, anti-racism and foregrounding people with lived experience.  

The organisation was founded in 1995 as the National Coalition of Anti Deportation Campaigns, a coalition of grassroots groups fighting against the deportation of their friends, family members, neighbours and co-workers across the UK. Our name changed in 2014 to reflect the expanded scope of the organisation’s work, in response to our community’s changing needs. As the landscape of asylum and migration law, policies and practices grew harsher, it became essential that our community understood the asylum and immigration system better from the very beginning of their journey through the process. There are three reasons for this: in order to support one another to secure immigration status and the right to remain in the UK, to proactively protect the community from the risk of the violence and trauma of detention and deportation and, most importantly, to challenge injustice and human rights abuses. We became a registered charity (1192934) in December 2020.

Since then, the main resource of our public legal education work about the asylum and immigration system, our Right to Remain Toolkit, has become the critical infrastructure for the entire asylum and migration field and beyond. It is the lifeline for many who are stuck in a Kafkaesque system: in 2023/24, it was used by an average of 64,141 unique users online every month. People use the Toolkit to practise for their asylum interviews, gather their own evidence, prepare for their own appeals when they cannot find a lawyer to represent them, and exercise agency by equipping themselves with the knowledge of what could happen to them and the options they have. Many groups, large and small, use it for their staff and volunteer training and for their work at large. Lawyers and students use it as a reference point and other professionals such as youth workers, ESOL teachers, and doctors use it to support people going through the system.

This popularity is due to the fact that our resources, workshops and outreach are accessible, practical and empowering. They are accessible because they are designed specifically for both non-specialists and people going through the system, based on feedback from our community collected over the years. They are practical because they include information about possible steps people can take to improve their chance of securing immigration status and their right to remain in the UK, also based on the tips contributed by our community. And they are empowering because they help people understand what might happen to them at each stage of the process, and how to help prepare for any given scenario, enabling them to take better control of their lives with or without the help of legal advisors and solicitors.

We also demystify legal support. We explain clearly how allies and supporters who are not accredited to give legal advice and who, for this reason, are afraid to help others can still safely provide vital support in our community. While quality legal advice remains scarce, it is vital to scale up the amount of legal support available. This both alleviates the pressure faced by the struggling legal advice sector, and connects people in the system with their supporters, equipping them with knowledge and confidence to fight for the right to remain together, and seek ways to survive the system within their local community. This knowledge of the system will always remain central to our movement.  

In fact, our legal education work goes beyond a simple gesture of information provision. Our work is relational. We carefully and consciously do this in a way that calls for solidarity to bring more people and groups into the movement, focussing on building power in our community.

The Toolkit and our workshops act as a portal through which people can enter the shared struggle for migration justice and start taking collective action to change the system – because you need to understand the system to fight it, just as our community said when we developed the Toolkit over ten years ago. The Toolkit and our public legal education work is therefore the basis of our strategic convening and campaigning, including our experience-led community organising work, These Walls Must Fall. Our refreshed Theory of Change that connects our work building knowledge (public legal education), building radical solidarity (strategic convening) and building power (campaigning and organising) encapsulates the process through which we strive to achieve our vision with our communities.

This is a new and strategically important position in a growing team. Our advocacy - the use of information and evidence to drive change in policy, practices and attitudes - and the effective engagement of target audiences to stimulate action, is at the core of our success in forging a fairer water future. 

As a senior member of the Public and Political Engagement team, the Advocacy and Engagement Manager will work closely with our Research and Operations teams, and partners across Africa, Asia and South America.

Foxglove is a litigation and campaigning nonprofit that exists to make the use of technology fair. When governments and major tech companies use technology to abuse their power, we investigate, litigate and campaign to make it right. 

Big Tech companies have become so large – gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data – that they’re now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere – threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers’ rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI.

Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We fight to reduce these anti-democratic behemoths’ size and power and we challenge them for abusing their workers. We also work to ensure public bodies use data and algorithms openly, fairly, and legally. 

We have a strong track record. We’ve launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech’s harmful business models, supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama – winning world-first judgements. We helped launch Africa’s first content moderators' union and are urging UK and EU regulators to halt Big Tech’s maneuvers to hoover up generative AI as it has the rest of our online world. We have forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for UK A level students, forced the government to pause the NHS Data Grab and challenged the Department of Work and Pension’s use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.

We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and impacted people. 

About you

You are an experienced lawyer with a strong interest in using the law to hold governments and companies to account. You understand change doesn’t only take place within the walls of the court and that movements only succeed when they’re inclusive, making as many people as possible see they have a stake in these issues. You are a self-starter with the initiative to find opportunities, but the team-spiritedness to contribute to a shared goal and celebrate others’ work. If that’s you, and the Foxglove mission excites you, we would love to hear from you.
