People Manager

Are you passionate about social justice?

Do you want to help strengthening an organisation fighting for the rights of working class and marginalised communities?

About us

We work in collaboration with grassroots groups, campaigners and frontline organisations through a legal hub model building capacity through legal education and advocating through legal action across three overlapping priority areas: state accountability; housing and land; migrants’ rights & racial justice. We mainly do this through legal representation and strategic litigation in public law, actions against public authorities and housing law. We are also instructed to represent a number of individuals and groups/organisations in public inquiries, including the Undercover Policing Inquiry and the Covid Inquiry. 

We have grown steadily and cautiously since becoming independent in 2019 and we are now seeking to consolidate the organisation’s core functions. 

PILC is currently made up of 20 staff, hybrid-working from our offices in Cambridge Heath, E2.   

About you

We are seeking a People Manager with expertise in fostering a positive and healthy working culture to reflect and feed into PILC’s movement lawyering approach. 

Whilst you do not need to have prior charity experience, you will feel closely aligned to PILC’s organisational values so that our work ethic is reflected internally, staff are well supported and we continue to support our grassroots partners in their fight for radical social change. 

You will be able to build trust and respect through excellent interpersonal skills. You will also have experience of managing change within the work setting. You will be both self-sufficient and enjoy working collaboratively, whether as part of the senior management team or with other colleagues in the organisation. 

In return, you will be a key member of the Senior Management Team. You will also benefit from a supportive environment and colleagues who share your passion for social justice.  

We want to be more diverse and reflect our community

We especially encourage applications from minoritised candidates and/or those with lived experience of the social-justice issues we work on.

Deadline

9am on Wednesday 12th March 2025.

Interviews

We expect to interview in person at our offices on Thursday 20th March 2025.
