About CRIN

This is who we are and what we are fighting for

 CRIN is a creative human rights organisation focused on children’s rights. We press for rights - not charity - and campaign for a genuine shift in how governments and societies view and treat children. Our goal is a world where the human rights of children and young people are recognised, respected, and enforced, and where every rights violation has a remedy.

We work on many issues, from the survival of the planet to sexual violence, to civil and political rights, to the right to bodily integrity, privacy, expression, and information, to how children’s rights are affected by new technology.

We advocate for international institutions like the United Nations, as well as governments and professionals, to adopt strong children’s rights policies. We undertake legal research and analysis and propose better policies where these are lacking. We recognise the importance of activism at all levels and support the campaigning of organisations led by people with lived experience. Through critical thinking, artwork, and our vision for the future, we encourage people to think differently about the world we live in.

About the role

This is the campaign you will be working on 

One of the key issues we work on is accountability for sexual violence against children in institutions in Latin America, which aims to challenge impunity and improve access to justice for victims and survivors. Combating sexual violence against children globally has been a core part of CRIN’s work for more than a decade, and from this experience we see common challenges across the most systemic and entrenched forms of institutional abuse and exploitation: secrecy, cover-ups, abuse of power, stigma, shame, and impunity.

To successfully challenge this status quo, we have looked at the experiences of countries like Ireland and Australia, which were some of the first countries where survivors mobilised to demand and secure legal reforms to improve access to justice and establish national inquiries into child sexual abuse which prompted other policy reforms. In an effort to support and strengthen similar survivor-led activism elsewhere in the world, since 2019 CRIN has worked alongside grassroots organisations in Latin America led by adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Our focus has been to support their national campaigning that challenges impunity for abuse committed in the region’s Catholic Church, but we have since expanded the scope of our work to cover institutional settings more broadly.

CRIN’s added value in the campaign includes providing much-needed financial support and capacity building, research support, international and legal advocacy and helping to expand partnerships. By working with survivor-led networks, we aim to encourage their development across the region so that governments can no longer ignore their demands for truth, justice, reforms, and reparations.

This is who we are looking for…

We are looking for someone to coordinate the end-to-end delivery of the campaign. The focus of the role is on project and budget management, strategy planning and implementation, and partnership building. But given the generalist nature of campaigning, you may at times conduct advocacy support, media outreach, research and analysis, and event coordination.

You would work alongside the Legal Advocacy and Campaign Coordinator, as well as part of the core project team comprising the Co-Directors and the Legal and Policy Coordinator.

Your responsibilities will include:

● Leading the delivery of CRIN’s campaign supporting grassroots organisations in Latin America to end impunity for child sexual abuse in institutional settings.

● Building and maintaining trust-based partnerships with grassroots survivor-led networks in Latin America, ensuring engagement is anti-colonial, trauma-informed and participatory.

● Building partnerships with key allies, such as civil society groups, journalists, academics, legal experts, consultants and funders.

● Managing the campaign budget and related administrative tasks, including partnership contracts and sub-granting. 

● Providing advocacy, research, and administrative support to partners, as needed. 

● Organising capacity-building events to support partners’ organisational development.

● Providing occasional research and writing support to colleagues in the production of advocacy materials, including submissions to human rights bodies and research reports.

● Managing project communications, including updating the campaign webpage, leading on media outreach, coordinating the production of research reports and translating all project materials. 

● Working with CRIN’s communications staff to create content for the website, social media, and newsletter.

● Managing the campaign’s Monitoring and Evaluation, recording, and reporting actions, deliverables, and learnings, including coordinating annual progress reports to our funder.

● Participating in regular project meetings to discuss developments, address any issues and plan the next stages of the work.

● Participating in organisation-wide activities such as regular team meetings and collective decision-making.

We are looking for someone with the following attributes:

● Professional experience or interest in issues related to access to justice for survivors of childhood sexual violence.

● Professional experience or interest in working with grassroots organisations and/or survivor-led organisations.

● Native-level fluency in written and spoken Spanish and English. 

● Experience in project and budget management. 

● Ability to cultivate partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including grassroots organisations, activists with lived experience, civil society organisations, international NGOs, journalists, and lawmakers.

● Knowledge of or interest in participatory approaches to partnerships and decision-making, as well as an understanding of how oppression can manifest in the issues we work on (and how we work as an international NGO) and a keen interest in how we can implement an anti-oppression approach.

● Motivated, with strong organisational skills and ability to manage one’s own work (including while remote-working).

● Ability to think strategically and critically.

● Ability to thrive in a small but diverse international team, with a strong commitment to anti-discrimination, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The following would also be an advantage:

● Previous experience of working at an NGO and/or in human rights campaigning. 

● Comparative knowledge of Latin America’s cultural, legislative and policy context/s.

● Experience in media work.

● Knowledge of national and international human rights mechanisms.

We know that we may sometimes be overcome with feelings of self-doubt when reading job descriptions. Even if you feel you may not hold all the qualifications and experience listed here, we strongly encourage you to apply if you are excited by our vision and the contribution you could make to the role.

 What it is like working with us

 We are a small team of around 18 people. We take pride in our CRIN Code and try to approach our work and relationships with open minds, humility, and respect. This helps us foster greater creativity, breadth of experience, and personal growth among our staff, and it’s essential to our success as an organisation.

Our staff and consultants work remotely and are located mainly in Europe at the moment, but we are committed to continuing to build a team that reflects the world’s diversity of skills, experiences, cultures, and perspectives. While we have lines of accountability, we also aim to have a relatively flat structure whereby everyone receives support from and is accountable to each other in a number of ways.

About the organisation

The Sortition Foundation is a not-for-profit company that exists to transform politics and upgrade democracy. We recruit people from all walks of life for citizens’ assemblies in the UK, Australia, Europe, and around the world, with clients including national governments, local governments, cultural, technology and other organisations. The surplus generated from this work funds our campaigning for the institutionalisation of these assemblies at local and regional/national level. We are structured as a workers co-operative and our core values are to be caring, courageous and curious. We have a small and growing team across the UK and Australia and a subsidiary organisation, Sortition Europe, based in Hungary.

Our Vision is that people from all walks of life make informed decisions about how we live together. Our Purpose is to build the movement for permanent, powerful citizens’ assemblies. Our strategic goals are to: 

1. Build a powerful movement for democratic renewal using citizens’ assemblies; 

2. Build the capacity and expertise to deliver citizens’ assemblies at scale;

3. Build the belief that citizens' assemblies are feasible and desirable; and 

4. Build and maintain a sustainable organisation. 

Our goals are guided by the following values: Collective Wisdom and Social Justice. Our culture is guided by the following values: Curious, Caring, and Courageous.

In the last few years, citizens’ assemblies have become commonplace in many countries (UK, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Poland) and spread to many more, such as France, Spain, Austria, Germany, Belgium, among others. A regional parliament in Belgium created a permanent citizens’ assembly - the first of its kind in Europe - and we are seeing local councils in the UK and Australia follow suit.

While this represents considerable success, there is still much work and campaigning to do. We want to see citizens’ assemblies become more prevalent, for them to become a permanent feature of our democracies, and we understand that for this to happen we need more people, organisations and decision makers to know about and advocate for these assemblies.

In recent years the Sortition Foundation:

• Supported nearly 200 citizens’ assemblies and other sortition events in the UK, Australia, Hungary, and elsewhere, sending hundreds of thousands of assembly invitations to households, and recruiting thousands of people for deliberative processes. Some examples include Scotland’s Climate Assembly, the Budapest Climate Assembly, a citizens’ jury on assisted dying in Jersey, the UK government’s Public Advisory Group on COVID-19, and many community panels in Australia for councils in Victoria. 

• Developed a network of democracy organisations campaigning for the institutionalisation of citizens’ assemblies; we have an ongoing campaign to replace the House of Lords with a House of Citizens, have developed and tested messaging and framing guides for communicating our campaign goals, and have laid the groundwork for this transformative democratic change.

• Reviewed and refreshed our strategy and structure to get clear on what we can hope to achieve with the resources we can wield in the best possible organisational structure.

• Grew our annual turnover dramatically, from almost zero turnover six years ago, to over £624,000 in the last financial year.

We achieved all this thanks to our growing and dedicated staff; our continued partnerships with organisations including the Electoral Reform Society, Unlock Democracy, and Involve in the UK, and DemocracyCo in Australia; our ongoing participation in the Democracy R&D International Network.
