About the organisation
For nearly 50 years, nia has provided high quality, women-led services across North and East London. nia has three main aims: to provide services for women, children and young people who have experienced male violence, working to end men’s violence against women and girls, and to inform and influence policy and public awareness.
nia’s values, and our commitment to upholding them, set us apart. We put women first – always and without hesitation: we believe women, we are run by women, for women. We leave no woman behind: we challenge inequality and discrimination and believe that uniting women of all backgrounds is essential to ending the sex-based oppression of women.
East London Rape Crisis provides free, confidential specialist support for women and girls who have been raped or experienced any other form of sexual violence or abuse at any time in their lives, regardless of whether or not they have reported to the police. We offer confidential and independent support. Services include advocacy, emotional and practical support, one-to-one counselling and group work.
About the post
The post is currently funded until September 2025 with a possibility of extension.

You will work as part of a growing feminist Rape Crisis service that is developing to meet the needs of women and girls.
About you
We’re looking for a highly organised and self-motivated woman who is passionate about ending violence against women, girls and children. You’ll have a ‘can-do’ approach and demonstrable commitment to nia’s feminist approach to supporting women and their children to be safer.

Job Purpose
In our fight for a fairer, greener future, Good Law Project has previously embarked on a series of legal interventions focused on the activities of 55 Tufton Street. From undisclosed donors and misinformation to astroturfing and lobbying, we intend to continue our work debasing the Tufton Street lobby groups and think tanks like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Restore Trust and Institute for Economic Affairs.
We are therefore commissioning further investigation of “Dark Money” that flows through Tufton Street in the guise of charitable funds. The Charity Commission exists to prevent this abuse, and that will be a key focus of this work. We are offering a one-year, fixed term contract to an experienced investigative journalist, to supply Good Law Project with a pipeline of exposés that will win commissions from the UK’s leading news outlets, including broadcast where possible, thereby contributing to the exposure of the Tufton Street axis, and helping to clean up our politics.
What we're looking for
- Track record of powerful investigative journalism, successfully pitching and bringing newsworthy stories of illicit activity conducted by harmful organisations or individuals to public attention
- Experience of reporting and managing risk (whilst still having appetite for substantial risk)
- Demonstrable experience of self-managing, remote working, reporting on a regular basis to the commissioning client
- Experience of working with open source data and proprietary databases
- Demonstrable experience of working with different departments across an organisation
- Great strategic nous – knowing when to push and when to find another route
- Digital journalist – instinct and experience for publishing across text, video, social media
What we do
- Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation which uses the law to hold power to account and fight for a fairer, greener future. We take on the cases and campaigns where we’ll have the biggest impact, even when the odds are stacked against us.
- We had a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament in 2019. We successfully challenged the Government’s operation of a fast track ‘VIP lane’ for awarding lucrative PPE contracts to those with political connections and our campaigning played a key role in the Met Police opening an investigation into Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal. In July 2023, we forced the Government to accept that its flagship Net Zero strategy is unlawful and to develop a better plan.
- We get a positive outcome in more than two thirds of our cases – either a straightforward or a partial legal win. But whether we win or lose in court, we always fight to make positive change.
- See our website for more about what we do

We’re looking for someone special to lead our Kitchen Club programme, supporting families with children under 5 in temporary accommodation. If you’re passionate about food, families and fairness, with the right skills and experience, then we’d love to hear from you!
At Kitchen Club, families with pre-school children work together to make a healthy lunch alongside activities to support children's learning and development. We aim to support families by improving outcomes in five key areas:
· Nutrition
· The home learning environment
· Mental wellbeing
· Social connection
· Access to information & support
With management responsibility for up to 8 part-time staff, this is a crucial role within our small but growing organisation, combining team leadership with hands-on support for session delivery, including helping with the washing up if that’s what is needed!
We work with families who face a range of significant challenges, including low income, trauma, and inadequate housing. An important aspect of this job is working closely with the delivery team to understand and respond to individual and group needs. The Programme Manager is responsible for ensuring that families have access to the right kind of support, both within sessions, and from external organisations, from food banks to Family Hubs.
Since 2014, we’ve been working to make Kitchen Club more effective and establish a clear model for what ‘good’ looks like. The Kitchen Club Programme Manager will play a key role in continuing to drive improvement. We’re looking for someone who is ambitious about what can be achieved within our existing frameworks, but who is also able to contribute new ideas to enhance reach and impact, working closely with the Chief Executive to take our work to the next level.
Whoever joins our small but committed team will have the opportunity to make a vital difference for families who face significant and complex challenges.
Summary of key responsibilities
· Lead and support a diverse team of staff and volunteers to deliver high quality Kitchen Club sessions across up to 6 settings per week
· Ensure processes to recruit new families are effective, including outreach and referrals-in
· Liaise with senior contacts in key partner organisations
· Represent the Parent Club CIO, and the interests of Kitchen Club families, in policy and practice forums in Hackney and more widely
· Work with the Chief Executive and trustees to develop the 5-year strategic plan
About you
The successful candidate will have a proven track record as a manager, with the ability to lead a diverse team of thoughtful, reflective practitioners. You may have a background in community work, early years, parenting support, psychological support services, or community food projects. Above all, you will be committed to delivering positive outcomes for disadvantaged families with young children.
We particularly encourage applications from people with knowledge and understanding of the diverse communities in Hackney and Haringey, and who speak languages used within them. Those with lived experience of bringing up children in challenging circumstances are also particularly welcome to apply.
