FAQs about the recruitment process:
Q. I don’t have experience in all of the areas listed above, should I still apply?
-
Yes! Please use your application to emphasise what of the above you feel you do best.
Q. What will my role be if I am successful in this process?
-
Final job descriptions and titles will be agreed together with the successful candidates. A role might be built around skills such as writing and communications, or it might be built around a work area such as advocacy or grants management. It is also possible that two holistic roles might be created but with a division of tasks. No one role will be expected to do everything, and every role will seek to balance existing experience with potential for growth.
Q. What is the process and timeline for this recruitment?
-
We will inform candidates if they’ve been selected for an interview by April 1, with interviews and tests taking place online April 7 - April 16. We hope to conclude recruitment by April 26 with start dates from June 1. We will assess applications on a rolling basis and retain the right to close the process early, in which case this advert will be removed from our website. All candidates will receive a response, with feedback restricted to interviewees on request.
Q. If I am successful, how often will I be expected to work from PBI’s office in London?

We are open to applications from candidates wishing to work entirely remotely. However, all candidates should expect to travel to London yearly and maybe more often.

Q. What is the difference between PBI UK and PBI and where do these roles fit?
-
PBI is a global NGO made up of teams/sections which work together to enhance the security and impact of the human rights defenders we support. The roles in this advert will be employed by PBI’s UK section but will work closely with both PBI’s International Secretariat and other sections (including ‘frontline teams’ providing direct protection to threatened activists) to ensure our UK and global fundraising and advocacy are as effective as possible.
What staff say about working at PBI UK:
“In PBI UK you work in a compelling environment alongside an empathetic and caring team, who are constantly adapting to the evolving challenges of the work to best advocate for the protection of human rights defenders. No matter what position you hold, your voice will be heard and your ideas valued - it is a place where you can choose to grow in any and all directions to cultivate deep knowledge and an expansive skillset.” Yadira Sánchez-Esparza, former PBI UK volunteer & consultant
“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. Their individual and collective defence of human rights is truly inspiring, even when they face the most difficult circumstances and reprisals.” Christina Challis, PBI UK Advocacy Manager
“With a defender-centered approach, and a team that genuinely cares for one another and for protecting and promoting human rights and environmental defenders, it is both a privilege and a joy to be part of PBI UK. Everyone is working towards the shared goal of providing holistic support to defenders at risk. We openly share ideas as a team, and I feel truly supported, both personally and professionally. Most of all, it is an honor to work alongside such brave activists, whose resilience and dedication are deeply inspiring.“
Lorna Ní Shúilleabháin, PBI UK Programme Support Consultant
What key stakeholders say about PBI:
“Without PBI, the work and defence of human rights in Colombia would not have been possible at the level it is today… I think PBI’s support was fundamental in saving the lives of many of my colleagues.”
Sebastián Escobar Uribe, human rights lawyer from CCAJAR, Colombia
“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
“PBI UK is a strong human rights organisation punching above its weight on a small budget … Staff overwhelmingly feel a sense of teamwork, trust, and commitment to PBI’s mission … Stakeholders identified the skills, network, and thematic expertise of PBI UK’s new Director as a significant strength … Creativity, innovation, out-of-box thinking and a focus on impact were identified by both internal and external stakeholders as key characteristics of PBI UK.”

About Unlocked
Unlocked Graduates exists to break cycles of reoffending. Currently prison isn’t a place which successfully does this – the average prisoner has 16 previous convictions and 55% of those released from short term sentences reoffend within one year. The work we do is both extremely challenging and massively urgent. We aspire to have deep impact on the landings of individual prisons, but also breadth of impact through the whole sector, and society at large.
Since 2017, we have sought to lead this change by recruiting, training and challenging the best graduates in the country to become prison officers. Our two-year programme has put the role on the map as a career where the best people can develop extraordinary leadership skills whilst making a real difference. We are established as a Times Top 100 Graduate Employer, and recognised in the UK and internationally for the impact our participants have on the landings.
We know that we will never achieve change on our own. Real, long-term change depends on our ambassadors – those who have completed the programme and are driving impact across the criminal justice system. To be an Unlocked ambassador is to be part of a movement for change: Whether they stay on the front line, shape national policy, or lead work in the wider sector, they draw on their shared experience to push for meaningful reform. By supercharging their collective expertise, we are building the momentum needed to transform prisons and break cycles of reoffending.
Our mission
The mission of Unlocked Graduates is to break cycles of re-offending by developing outstanding individuals to lead rehabilitation in prisons and throughout society.
About the role
Our ambassadors are connected by a powerful shared experience, deeply held values, and a collective commitment to furthering our mission. The Ambassador Network Manager role is integral to harnessing this potential, ensuring our growing community remains engaged, connected, and empowered to make an impact.
We have strong engagement across the ambassador network and work closely with this community involving them in our programme, and supporting them to tackle cycles of reoffending in whatever path they choose. We have made a significant strategic commitment to investing in a purposeful, high-impact ambassador network; one that fosters connections, empowers ambassadors to thrive in their careers, and drives collaboration across the sector.
As our network grows, this role needs to go beyond one-to-one relationship management, applying community organising and self-sustaining network-building principles to ensure ambassadors can support and mobilise each other. Our strategy is evolving at pace, so we’re looking for someone who can test and trial new approaches to engagement, bringing fresh ideas and adapting quickly.
We are looking for someone with proven experience in relationship building and community management, with a drive and enthusiasm for growing our network to have impact.

For 53 years the theatre was housed in the back room of the King’s Head Pub on Upper Street in an old boxing ring and pool hall, before opening the new space in Islington Square right behind the pub theatre in January 2024.
Under Artistic Director & Founder Dan Crawford, whose tenure lasted 35 years until his death in 2005, the theatre became known as a breeding ground for new talent and great work. Renowned actors like Maureen Lipman, Hugh Grant, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Alan Rickman & Richard E Grant all performed at the theatre, and a number of productions transferred to the West End and Broadway, premiering work from writers such as Steven Berkoff, Tom Stoppard, Bryony Lavery and Victoria Wood.
In 2010, the Olivier Award-winning company Opera UpClose Productions became the theatre’s resident company for four years, and with Adam Spreadbury-Maher as Artistic Director, turned the King’s Head into “London’s Little Opera House”, winning an Olivier Award for La Boheme in the Best New Opera category. Opera remains a key part of the theatre’s focus, alongside a commitment to emerging, daring and innovative work, such as Trainspotting, the Edinburgh Fringe and touring immersive hit developed by King’s Head Theatre.
The theatre showcases a lot of LGBTQ+ work which explores the full spectrum of experiences symbolised by the rainbow flag. It is a home for a new wave of theatre makers, with a focus on work which is joyful, irreverent, colourful & queer.
In the first year of the new King’s Head, the theatre has showcased work from artists such as Rob Madge, Luke Bayer, Olivier award-winner Shaun McKenna, triple Fringe First winners Xhloe & Natasha, Heartstopper’s Cormac Hyde-Corrin, Neil Ashton and writer Jonathan Maitland. The theatre has just announced its Spring 2025 season as it goes into its second year, working with artists such as Lauren Ward, Josie Benson, Vikki Stone, Rosie Day and former artistic director Hannah Price, who will be making her debut on the new stage.

About you
We’re looking for an experienced researcher, with a background working with experts by experience, committed to embedding women and girls’ voices in research in a trauma-informed way.
