About Reprieve

 Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions 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. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty 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.

Reprieve’s main office is in London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time fellows in multiple other countries, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners. We work closely with partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions.

Reprieve works in close partnership with its independent sibling organisation Reprieve US. 

About the Role

The Head of Unlawful Detentions is responsible for overseeing Reprieve’s work on unlawful detentions, which comprises detention cases in North East Syria (NES), advocacy work with families of detainees in NES, support to those repatriated from NES, and our Guantánamo and Life after Guantánamo Projects.

 

Background on Unlawful Detentions Work

Reprieve was one of the very first organisations allowed inside Guantánamo. Since then, we have secured freedom for more than 80 men illegally detained without charge or trial, and we continue to support some of these men through our Life After Guantánamo project.

Reprieve also advocates for the release and repatriation of foreign nationals detained in camps and prisons in NES. We aim to ensure that detained individuals are treated in line with international law, and not subjected to the death penalty, extrajudicial execution, arbitrary detention, torture, or rendition. We also advocate for and support clients and their children after their release from arbitrary detention.

Through our work we aim to challenge and change flawed ‘War on Terror’ narratives and legal and political frameworks – including in the UK, Europe and the US – that engender state-sanctioned discrimination and abuse, undermine the rule of law and human rights, and create two-tiered layers of citizenship rights for ethnic minorities in Western countries.

 

About You

You will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies using a dynamic approach in which each of Reprieve’s methodologies—casework, investigation, litigation, political and public engagement, support for and (where possible and appropriate) advocacy with affected communities—connect with one another to achieve positive outcomes in individual client’s cases and address structural rights violations.

You will be enthusiastic about working for an organisation with Reprieve's mission and vision. You will have a minimum of five years’ experience line managing busy and diverse teams. You have significant legal and casework experience and experience managing a complex portfolio of cases. You will also have substantial advocacy experience, an understanding of campaigning, strong writing skills, and excellent attention to detail. 

You are a person with a high level of cultural competency, with direct lived or working experience with communities impacted by the so-called ‘War on Terror’ and/or relevant conflicts. You will be able to demonstrate an understanding of how racism and institutional discrimination affect our clients. You will ideally have experience working closely with clients, empowering them to play an active role in designing the advocacy and strategy adopted to address issues in their cases.  You will have sensitivity to the risks faced by those with whom we work and a demonstrated commitment to acting in the best interest of clients. You will have professional maturity, flexibility, and a willingness to put clients and Reprieve’s mission above all else.

In addition to being conversant in relevant legal systems, you are abreast of the domestic, regional, and geopolitical developments that impact on detention issues in the areas in which we work. You will also have a good understanding of the political and legal context of human rights violations carried out in the name of ‘counter-terrorism’, particularly in the UK, Europe, and the US, and of gender and trafficking issues. You will have the ability to develop targeted strategies to influence the policies and public conversations in these jurisdictions.

Salary, contract and location

The role is a full-time, permanent position with a salary of £59,226 per annum less any required deductions for tax and national insurance. Reprieve works across a number of jurisdictions; as such this is a role that may require work outside of core hours from time to time.

Our Commitment

MindTHNR is committed to being an Anti-racist/Anti-discriminatory Organisation – we are advocates for racial justice and equality for all members of our community. We will continue to listen, learn, and keep taking action to influence change. This is not a tick-box exercise for us, this is for our community, this is for our staff, this is for all those who have faced inequity and inequality based on their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, disability, and age. We may just be starting, but we won’t stop!

Accessibility and Adjustments

We are committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and we will always endeavour to be as accommodating as possible.

This is an exciting new role to build upon the recognition of our achievements to date, by elevating the awareness of the Trust and our many partners. We expect that National Geographic will release their documentary in Autumn 2024 about Shackleton and the expedition organized by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust that found the wreck of Endurance in the Weddell Sea. This is likely to lead to heightened awareness of and interest in our work, which will appeal to applicants with a real interest in maritime heritage and, ideally, the Falkland Islands and/or the South Atlantic/Southern Ocean.

As COO you will serve as the first point of contact representing FMHT in, we envisage, an increasingly high-profile public manner.  You will report to the Chair of Trustees, working collaboratively with the Trustees.  You will also collaborate with a variety of charities, institutions and agencies, all with shared interests in our work.

We are seeking an energetic ‘all-rounder’ - a proven leadership professional who will roll their sleeves up and deliver.  You will have outstanding communication and liaison skills, be skilful in raising funds and engaging sponsors together with sound financial and contract management experience.  Drawing from your previous experience you will help to design, implement and deliver our operational and commercial objectives.  Highly self-motivated, you will possess the vision, energy and drive to help create and to implement sustainable strategies for the Trust.

The role

This is an exciting time to be joining UK Youth. We have recently been through a strategy refresh and are now better positioned to deliver on our ambitions that all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives.

This role will lead design projects to shape UK Youth’s support to young people and professionals working with young people. This could include structured youth work programmes, grant funds, professional development programmes, and campaigns.

You will be confident in taking a human-centred-design approach to tackle some of the youth sector’s knottiest problems. You will help to improve the skills and confidence of colleagues across UK Youth to apply design methods in their own work. 

In 2024, our priority topics for youth work programmes and network development are: mental health, employability, youth social action, outdoor learning and physical literacy. 

You will work closely the research, evaluation, policy, service delivery, network development, and fundraising teams. You will meaningfully involve young people and the professionals who support them in the design process. 

You will design solutions to important problems, ensuring that they are feasible, equitable, and impactful. 

Who we are

UK Youth is a leading charity that is unlocking youth work for all young people.

We bring together young people and youth workers with business leaders, teachers, social workers, doctors, policy makers and other professionals to learn, spread effective ways to support young people, and campaign for social change.

Only by working together can we tackle the systemic problems that keep letting our young people down.

Who we're looking for

We are looking for candidates with an understanding and empathy of the current issues facing young people, with experience of managing effective projects on a national scale, engaging with a wide range of stakeholders and a passion for making a difference to the lives of young people. We are looking for someone who is proactive, inclusive, inspiring, highly-organised and uses their initiative to find creative solutions and manage multiple priorities.

Experience we're after

• Experience of leading the design of interventions (digital and/or physical) for young people and/or those who support them. 

• Experience of developing proposals to time-limited funding opportunities, including the development of theories of change, project budgets and proposal narratives.

• Experience of managing projects across the end-to-end design process; using human-centred-design methods and mindsets.

• Experience of developing high quality youth work programme content and curricula for young people, youth workers and/or outdoor learning instructors (desirable).

• Experience of designing and delivering professional development programmes (desirable).

• Experience of people management (desirable).

Why work at UK Youth?

UK Youth wants all young people to be equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. Youth work can be life changing (and even life saving.) We have developed a strategy to unlock youth work so that every young person in the UK can benefit. We work with others to ensure that the youth sector is strengthened and that provision is youth-led, evidence-informed, and delivers high-quality outcomes.

UK Youth plays a unique role in addressing the lack of investment in the youth sector, the lack of cross-sector understanding in how youth work makes a difference, and the limited opportunities to embed effective solutions. These factors lead to mass inequality of access to youth services for young people. Come and be part of this change.

What we can offer you:

We offer a competitive range of benefits, good work/life balance, excellent learning and development opportunities and vibrant organisational culture:

• Flexible/Agile Working

• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata for part time employees)

The Equal Rights Trust is looking for a Research and Collaboration Coordinator to help us as we work to support those working on the frontlines of the fight against discrimination.

About the Equal Rights Trust

At the Equal Rights Trust, our vision is an equal world: a world in which everyone – irrespective of their identity, status or beliefs – can participate in every area of life on an equal basis. We work towards this vision by addressing one of the root causes of inequality: discrimination. We do this through the law. Our mission is to work in partnership to support the development, adoption, implementation and use of equality laws.

In 2023, following consultation with equality activists, academics and advocates across the globe, we launched our new strategic plan, Equal in Dignity: Equal in Rights. This plan sees us focus on addressing four “gaps” which prevent the realisation of the rights to equality and non-discrimination. Now, we’re working with the UN Human Rights Office to support equality movements in places like Armenia, Brazil and Korea as they work to secure the adoption of new equality laws. With academics and other experts, we’re driving legal innovation, examining how to improve the implementation of equality laws and how to develop equality law in response to emerging challenges, such as the growing use of AI and the climate crisis. And we’re supporting other civil society organisations to use equality law and integrate an equality by design approach in their work.
