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.
The Role:
The Unlawful Detentions Teams Caseworker will undertake a range of casework activities in support of Reprieve’s work on cases of unlawful detention, which comprises our work on detention cases in North East Syria (NES), and our Guantánamo Bay and Life after Guantánamo Projects.
About our NES work
There are currently thousands of people indefinitely detained in camps and prisons in NES, in conditions the UN has found to be inhumane and degrading. Reprieve aims to ensure that individuals detained in Syria are treated in line with international law, and not subjected to the death penalty, extrajudicial execution, arbitrary detention, torture or rendition. Where possible, we advocate for the release and repatriation of foreign nationals detained in NES, many of whom are victims of trafficking and / or minors. We also advocate for and support clients and their children after their release from arbitrary detention.
Through our work we also 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 and undermine the rule of law and human rights and sometimes create two-tiered layers of citizenship rights for ethnic minorities in Western countries. For example, the British people detained in NES are often arbitrarily deprived of their citizenship, under powers that are used almost exclusively against Muslims, mainly of South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African heritage. This is done in an attempt to place them outside the reach of the law, and to avoid giving them the consular and legal protections to which they are entitled as citizens.
About our Guantánamo 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 – more than any other organisation. Our unique Life after Guantánamo (LAG) project helps prisoners who have been released from Guantanamo but still face extreme human rights abuses related to their status as former Guantanamo detainees.
For full details including a person specification please review the job description.
Length and Salary
This is a full-time role on a fixed term, 12 month contract subject to extension depending on funding. The annual salary is £42,193 full-time 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 2 days per week from the London office and the rest of the week from home. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK currently and for the duration of the contract which will be checked prior to interview.
The deadline for applications is 23:59 GMT on 02 March 2025.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
