Director Jobs

Unifrog’s mission

We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.
 

Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.
 

We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with over half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer (check out this video to hear more about the Unifrog platform).
 

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
 

We believe in the power of diversity. If you are from an ethnic minority background, we would like to strongly encourage you to apply. 

Content at Unifrog

Whether we are communicating through images, video or text, we always try to be straightforward, honest, and to show respect for the people with whom we are communicating. 

Clear communication is particularly important for us because our mission is to level the playing field when it comes to access to opportunities, and a big part of this effort is fair and straightforward access to information. It’s also important for us to be fun, while not talking down to young people. 

Over the last few years, we have created hundreds of videos aimed at students and teachers. 

We now have an exciting slate of new video projects that we want to produce. We want to use video:

• To develop some of the most popular parts of the Unifrog platform, currently used by hundreds of thousands of young people every week to explore different careers, different subjects at university, and topics that matter to them like Climate Change and Wellbeing.

• To help us create brand new tools within the platform, expanding what Unifrog offers to young people, and how we interact with external partners like employers and universities.

We also want to improve the quality of the videos we create, making them slicker and more useful to our users.

Working together 

You’ll join a Video team of five colleagues, and you’ll be line managed by the Head of Video. You will work collaboratively with colleagues across various departments, including the Marketing team, the Employer and HE teams and the Written content team.

Within the Video Team, we foster a collaborative environment where brainstorming sessions are common, feedback is exchanged among team members, and we actively seek input from educators and students at our partner schools. We value and promote innovative ideas, regardless of their origin.

The role 

We are looking for a skilled and creative Producer/Director who will shoot and edit 2-3 minute videos aimed at young people, which will be hosted on the Unifrog platform.

You will collaborate with both internal and external contributors to organise film shoots. Our in-person productions utilise high-quality professional equipment, where you will work independently as the primary shooter, directing video stars, setting up equipment, conducting interviews and filming creative B-roll.
 

Our partners are located across the UK, so this role requires frequent travel for on-location filming.

In the last year we’ve made videos such as:

• Careers guides in partnership with employers such as the BBC, Royal Ballet and Opera and The Royal Navy.

• University guides in partnership with several Universities in the UK and abroad. 

• Explainer videos launching new tools on our platforms.

• Event videos for our Employer Forum event and partner events such as the Global Offshore Wind event.

• A case study highlighting the impact of work experience opportunities from our employer partners on schools from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

You’ll create videos like these, and you’ll also help us with our ambitious plans for creating  completely new types of videos which will allow us to develop new parts of the Unifrog platform.

The role and your key responsibilities

• Working with external partners: You’ll work with other people on the Unifrog team to organise shoots with external contributors, on location. You will need excellent interpersonal skills, and persistence so that you can make things happen. Strong adaptability skills are also required to make real-time improvements to existing scripts, if needed.

• Directing shoots: Working primarily solo on shoots, you must be confident in directing on-location productions, managing video talent, and handling all other aspects of the shoot independently. You will also need strong storytelling and interviewing skills to bring our content to life.

• Technical skills: You need to be able to operate cameras such as the A7S, to be competent with lights and sound, and to be proficient at using the Adobe suite, in particular Premiere Pro for any necessary edits.

• Juggling projects and meeting deadlines: We always have lots of productions happening simultaneously, and we have very high standards for the end-product. You need to be organised to meet tight deadlines and determined to get things done on time, promptly communicating any challenges that may arise.

• Editing Skills: You will also be responsible for editing videos as needed to help with the workload demands from the post-production team. This includes assembling footage to craft a compelling story, working with graphics templates, cutting to refine pacing and length, audio editing, and applying basic colour correction. Strong editing skills are essential to transform footage into engaging content while meeting tight deadlines.

Benefits

• Join one of ‘the best organisations to escape to’ and help transform careers and destinations in schools. We’re also a certified Great Place to Work.

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. 

This role is based in Reprieve’s London office. Reprieve operates a hybrid working model and we require staff to work 40% of their working hours from the London office and the rest of the week from home. Applicants must have the current right to work in the UK, which will be checked prior to interview.

 The Advocacy Academy is an activist youth movement. We serve as the political home for grassroots youth organising and the catalyst for collective action. The lives of the young people we work alongside have been directly shaped by living in an unjust world, and we exist to turn their anger into action.

Young people are often the catalysts for major social change, from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee at the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, to the Soweto Uprising mobilising young people to resist the apartheid regime's education policies, to the Sunrise Movement redrawing the electoral map across America, and more recently encampments and protests across the world protesting the genocide in Palestine. How successfully they achieve real and lasting change depends on whether they are organised and whether they have the right strategy and tactics to be effective.

This is why we are looking for a Director capable of envisioning the full journey of a young person through their time with The Advocacy Academy from the first activation point to whenever they choose to end their journey with us. We want someone who is excited to ensure the educational and operational excellence required to deliver this life-changing experience - and who’s bursting with ideas to make it even better year-on-year.

We want our young leaders to win and to build real power across the UK that ensures that the generations that follow aren’t just inheriting our mess, but our equipped and ready to fix it. That’s why we are looking for someone to be the engine behind our Programmes and Partnerships department. You will be highly motivated, with a high standard for yourself and others.

The platform's ability to track changes over time enables schools to measure the impact of their interventions, ensuring that their engagement strategies are effective and adjusted as needed. This action-oriented approach ensures that school engagement is not simply a metric or backward-looking accountability tool, it is core to school improvement.

Alongside providing detailed school and Multi-Academy Trust level insights, we are building the national evidence base around school engagement as a lead indicator. Our research unit provides national insights and research publications to support school level insight and build better sector understanding of school employee engagement.
