About Reprieve:

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society. 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.

Reprieve works in close partnership with its independent sibling organisation Reprieve US.  This collaboration is mutually beneficial to both Reprieve and Reprieve US as it enables each organisation to work more effectively and take advantage of the strategic locations to increase the impact of our work.

The Role:

The role of the Finance Officer is to assist the Head of Finance in overseeing the financial health of the organisation, and to ensure that the Head of Finance is efficiently supported in his day to day financial responsibilities. 

The Finance Officer will be line managed by the Head of Finance. They will also work closely with the Joint Executive Director, The Development Team, notably the Database and Insight Officer and the wider casework team, fellows and consultants. They will lead on paying Fellows, consultants and other contractors, as well as suppliers. They will also assist with reconciling Reprieve’s various accounts and ensuring that its transactions on Sage sync with its other databases or are appropriately reconciled. 

The following  skills are required: commitment to the organisation’s goals; relevant accountancy qualification or experience; excellent time management and organisational skills; ability to meet deadlines and work to high standards under pressure; willingness to undertake routine tasks; good communication skills including face to face, telephone & written; ability to translate financial data into accessible and easily digestible information; IT literate, particularly in Sage and Excel packages; good organisational skills; ability to work as part of a team in a collegiate and diverse environment.
