You’ll join our UK Team, which contributes to this work in a range of ways, including by raising funds from trusts and foundations, and through policy advocacy alongside grassroots leaders.

Whether remotely or in-person, full-time or part-time, you will work closely with our International Secretariat, liaising with colleagues and human rights defenders around the world. You will research, write for and interact with activists, philanthropists and policymakers. As a proactive person who thrives in a small team, you will be able to seize opportunities for personal and professional growth.

The successful candidates will be detail-oriented, well-organised people who are committed to our mission, and able to communicate it creatively to a broad community of stakeholders.

We don’t expect you to do everything on the lists below, but if you’re experienced in one area and can grow into others, then we encourage you to apply! We envisage at least two roles being created as a result of this recruitment process, providing candidates with an opportunity to excel in a role that is moulded to their strengths while allowing them space to upskill and gain diverse experiences.

Salary:

£24,744 - £30,415 (or pro rata equivalent) dependent upon experience.

About us: 

Peace Brigades International (PBI) is an international NGO with over 40 years’ experience providing life-saving protection and support to hundreds of brave human rights defenders who face reprisals because of their activism for social justice. PBI’s trademark protective accompaniment teams in Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal and Nicaragua are supported by teams elsewhere in the world, such as our UK section (to which these roles are affiliated). We carry out high-level advocacy for laws, policies and practices which support human rights defenders and hold corporations to account, as well as fundraising with an emphasis on trusts and foundations. Find out more in our 1-pager about our work, our global and UK annual reports, and our UK strategy.

About the Roles: 

• You will work closely with PBI UK’s Director, PBI UK’s Advocacy Manager and PBI International Co-Executive Directors to ensure that we have the systems, relationships, research and written outputs to effectively fundraise for PBI’s global work, as well as to advocate for laws, policies and actions to protect human rights defenders.

You will be part of a small team that builds, maintains and harnesses external relations with politicians, donors, civil servants, NGOs, human rights activists and other stakeholders in order to support human rights and environmental change.

• Grant-writing and donor reporting at PBI is less about form-filling and more about concise, creative and persuasive writing. Our policy research is directly applied through our advocacy campaigns. Our communications range from supporter newsletters to political briefing papers. We carry out our advocacy together with global activists on the front line of the issues at stake.

“Working with PBI UK is incredibly rewarding. I've had the opportunity to meet and support human rights defenders and community leaders, who shared their stories and hardships with me. I'm so grateful to be able to contribute to raising their voices, and for the trust they instil in me to do so.

“I think what I most admire about PBI is the fact that you’re very close to defenders in places that are very hostile ... When I started out, PBI was one of the organisations I looked to for ideas. I really like the accompaniment model.”

Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights defenders

We are looking for a Co-Director to lead the financial and strategic aspects of our small and successful charity. 

Hackney Playbus believes that all children under five living in East London should have the opportunity to grow, thrive, and reach their potential. Our mission is to provide play, learning, and support to socially excluded families in East London, to encourage children’s early years development, and to strengthen families and communities.

We do this by:

• Making play and learning opportunities accessible to children aged 0-4 years old - we bring play out into the community!

• Providing a welcoming and relaxed setting where families can come together in their local community 

• Supporting parents and carers to feel confident in their knowledge and skills as a parent or carer

• Connecting families to support services

• Dedicating time and resources to outreach and community engagement

All our services are delivered in a way that is inclusive, friendly and welcoming. All services are free to attend.

Our Services

We run stay and play sessions from a bright and beautiful double-decker bus that has been converted into a mobile early years community play space for families. Our sessions take place both inside and outside the Playbus in different locations across Hackney, providing a rich play and learning environment for children aged 0-4yrs old and a welcoming space for their parents and carers. We listen to the needs of parents and carers and help families to access support services where needed. 

As well as our Playbus sessions, we bring our informal, welcoming approach to baby groups that we run in community settings.

Our Team and Our Approach 

We value the positive impact of difference within our organisation and want our team to reflect the diverse cultures, ethnicities, languages and experiences of the families who participate in our activities. We particularly encourage applications from people from Global Majority backgrounds, those who speak a language spoken by local communities in Hackney, and those with lived experience of bringing up children in challenging circumstances. 

We work collaboratively at Hackney Playbus, recognising that every team member has valuable life experiences, skills and interests to contribute to the project. We learn from one another and value each other’s insights and opinions. We work collectively as far as possible to share decision-making as well as the workload, supporting each other to develop and grow within our roles, wherever our role sits within the organisation. 

Leadership Approach

At Hackney Playbus, we believe decisions should be driven by those closest to the issues we aim to address. This community-focused approach is central to our success. Children and families are integral to shaping our Theory of Change and Strategic Plan, and the involvement of staff and volunteers in planning, decision-making, and service delivery adds value, diversity and strength to our organisation. 

Our leadership structure reflects this collaborative approach. The Co-Directors share responsibility for the organisation,with the Co-Director for Operations taking responsibility for service delivery, the early years staff team, monitoring and evaluating the service and safeguarding, while the Co-Director for Strategy & Finance leads on strategy, partnerships, policies, asset management, and finances. We believe that both of these aspects of the organisation’s directorship are equally important and work together in co-operation and healthy tension to deliver the co-produced Strategic Plan alongside staff, volunteers, families and partners. Both Co-Directors report regularly and work collaboratively with the Board of Trustees.
