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 Whitechapel, 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.
About the Role
The Lead Lawyer - Africa Death Penalty Team is responsible for coordinating Reprieve’s litigation and advocacy in Sub-Saharan Africa. At the moment, the team works on death penalty casework and abolition advocacy in Malawi, Tanzania, and Kenya. Our casework includes work on appeals to the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal in the context of historic denials of a right to appeal and related contextual challenges; large-scale projects, such as the Kenya resentencing project, wherein we support stakeholders to ensure 5,000+ people are able to access a chance at reducing their sentence from death via a new sentence hearing, as well as supporting on individual strategic resentencing cases; and long-term regional projects, such as our strategic litigation before the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, which challenges the mandatory death penalty, torture, and other associated violations of the African Charter. This is an opportunity to join a team that has developed ground breaking work with great success in getting people off death row, making significant contribution to legal reforms and towards abolition.
Contract, Location and Salary
This is a full-time, permanent role 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.
Your presence is important during core office hours, whether remotely or in the office. You will also be available outside of office hours in the event of an emergency, for example case developments that require urgent action. This is a role that may require travel, and work outside of core office hours from time to time.
The annual salary is £50,571 full-time per annum, less any required deductions for income tax and national insurance.
Reprieve is proud to have an open and transparent pay structure, governed by a 2:1 pay ratio between the highest-paid member of staff and the lowest-paid member of staff. We are a flexible employer and offer a range of nonfinancial benefits to employees. We welcome applications from a range of backgrounds.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK currently and for the duration of the project, which will be checked prior to interview. Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer and we particularly welcome applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities, members of the LGBTQI community, and those with disabilities. Reprieve is committed to fighting racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve.

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. In 2024 we embarked on our new 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.
Crisis’ Changing Lives programme empowers people who have experienced homelessness to transform their lives and find their own ways out of homelessness by pursuing their own entrepreneurial, work, and educational ambitions – with dignity and pride.
We’re at an exciting point in the team, having received funding from Lloyds Bank to evolve and grow the programme. We’re committed to furthering our reach and increasing our impact on ending homelessness for individuals.
About the role
As Changing Lives Programme Coordinator, you will be supporting people with lived experience of homelessness to apply for grants which help them fulfil their employment goals. In addition, you will encourage members to access further wraparound support and assist with ongoing evaluation. The role is varied and exciting; you’ll be at the centre of working with and uniting our Crisis members, Skylight teams, and network of enterprise contacts towards creating fair access to opportunities for people with lived experience of homelessness.
Additionally, we’re committed to utilising our funding from Lloyds Bank to grow and innovate the programme. In your role you’ll have the opportunity to utilise your own expertise to bring in new ideas and transform the impact of the programme.
Skills, knowledge, and experience vital to succeeding in this role:
To be successful in this role you will be inspired by delivering opportunities that remove barriers to employment and entrepreneurship, particularly for communities who are traditionally excluded from these opportunities.
You should be an experienced programme coordinator and be confident in supporting people from a broad range of communities and experiences towards their goals. You will be competent in grant or programme delivery at all stages (from application to evaluation), a strong relationship builder, and creative in developing and delivering support. Underpinning this is your drive to address the needs of people with lived experience of homelessness through embedding co-production and supporting programmes that empower participants to achieve their ambitions.
You may have experience in:
-
Programme coordination
