We carry out high-level advocacy for laws, policies and practices which support human rights defenders and hold corporations to account, as well as fundraising with an emphasis on trusts and foundations.

A role might be built around skills such as writing and communications, or it might be built around a work area such as advocacy or grants management. It is also possible that two holistic roles might be created but with a division of tasks.

Q. What is the process and timeline for this recruitment?
-
We will inform candidates if they’ve been selected for an interview by April 1, with interviews and tests taking place online April 7 - April 16.

“Working with PBI UK is incredibly rewarding. I've had the opportunity to meet and support human rights defenders and community leaders, who shared their stories and hardships with me. I'm so grateful to be able to contribute to raising their voices, and for the trust they instil in me to do so. Their individual and collective defence of human rights is truly inspiring, even when they face the most difficult circumstances and reprisals.” Christina Challis, PBI UK Advocacy Manager

What key stakeholders say about PBI:
“Without PBI, the work and defence of human rights in Colombia would not have been possible at the level it is today… I think PBI’s support was fundamental in saving the lives of many of my colleagues.”
Sebastián Escobar Uribe, human rights lawyer from CCAJAR, Colombia
“I think what I most admire about PBI is the fact that you’re very close to defenders in places that are very hostile ... When I started out, PBI was one of the organisations I looked to for ideas. I really like the accompaniment model.”
Mary Lawlor, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights defenders
“PBI UK is a strong human rights organisation punching above its weight on a small budget … Staff overwhelmingly feel a sense of teamwork, trust, and commitment to PBI’s mission … Stakeholders identified the skills, network, and thematic expertise of PBI UK’s new Director as a significant strength … Creativity, innovation, out-of-box thinking and a focus on impact were identified by both internal and external stakeholders as key characteristics of PBI UK.”

Fee: To be negotiated
Location: Freetown, Sierra Leone
Consultancy length: 14 days in total
About the consultancy
In the past decade, several countries in sub-Saharan Africa have undertaken assessments of their eye health systems. These assessments are vital for understanding the relative strengths and weaknesses of the eye health system within the wider health system. In Sierra Leone, the first assessment was conducted in 2013 just before the outbreak of Ebola in the country.
The study will be conducted in two connected phases, and this consultancy will cover phase one. Phase one will focus on a systematic desk-based review of documents (print or electronic), analysis and interpretation of data. This will be a complimentary but comprehensive analysis to answer the research questions set out in the study protocol (see approved study protocol).
The purpose of this consultancy will be to conduct document analysis and write-up, as the first component of study activities for the Sierra Leone Follow-up Eye Health Systems Assessment. This will be guided by a stand-alone activity plan to be developed by the consultant in consultation with Sightsavers and is mostly going to be about interpretation (and not description) and update of the baseline eye health systems assessment conducted in 2013. The ability to interpret and glean understanding, as well as to construe the big picture and provide new understanding would be the focus of this consultancy. Analysis of data derived from documents is about the search for explanation and understanding, not description.
Skills and Experience
As the ideal consultant you will have experience of engaging stakeholders in the eye health sector to access documents (print and electronic) that are required to complete the assignment in a timely manner. You will also have excellent knowledge of technical issues and the politically sensitive strategies that one must take to negotiate access to documents and datasets so that work can be successfully conducted.
Further requirements include:
-
Master's in a discipline related to public health, health economics, social or behavioural science, or relevant fields, with expertise in HSR. PhD preferred.
-
Demonstrated ability to gain the trust and rapidly engage with stakeholders in the eye health sector to access documents (print and electronic) that are required to complete the assignment in a timely manner.
-
Substantial prior experience leading and conducting HSR studies in Sierra Leone.
-
Proven ability to prepare compelling written products including reports is required.
-
Excellent written and analytical skills are required.
This consultancy work is a highly varied and involved role and the above is not an exhaustive list of duties or required professional skills. Please see the Terms of Reference (ToR) for full details.
Candidates are welcome to demonstrate their ability to match the person specification by expanding on how their experience, training and/or qualifications might have provided them with the knowledge or skills required for the role. Successful candidates will be appointed on merit.

About PVRI
PVRI is a small charity with a global reach. Our aim is to reduce the global burden of Pulmonary Vascular Disease (PVD) with a particular focus on Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) - a life-threatening and life-limiting condition that affects millions worldwide.
PH can lead to heart damage and trigger symptoms like breathlessness, chest pain, poor growth, and severe difficulties exercising and carrying out normal daily tasks. Diagnosis and care aren’t readily available in many parts of the world, and even when it is, PH treatment can itself be challenging and life-changing. Although it’s estimated that PH affects 1% of the global population, it isn’t widely recognised or well-understood.
To change that, we bring together a fantastic network of energetic and committed PH doctors, academics, regulators, patients, and industry partners. Together we’re identifying and addressing the key challenges in global PH, educating the global workforce, and encouraging research. In practical terms, we:
- Host international scientific conferences
- Produce an open-access peer reviewed PH journal, Pulmonary Circulation
- Run webinars and e-learning
- Raise awareness of PH and health inequalities, and advocate for better access to diagnosis, care and treatment - nationally and internationally
- Bring our members and networks together in working forums:
- The Innovative Drug Development Initiative (IDDI): eight multidisciplinary workstreams working to solve the challenges in PVD research and speed the development of new treatment
- Specialty Task Forces: groups working to advance understanding and improve practice in specific clinical areas of PH
- Regional Task Forces: working in-country to address the key regional and national challenges in PH
We are a London-based registered charity and limited company, governed by an international Board of Trustees and supported by a new Scientific and Medical Advisory Council.
Our turnover is c. £800k p.a. and our income comes from industry support, membership fees and charitable fundraising.
Our small friendly staff team comprises our CEO Karen, Head of Comms Debs, Marketing Officer Emily, Project Coordinator Sarah and Admin Manager Katie, supported by our freelance Finance Manager Steph. We work a flexible hybrid model, with office space in Work.Life, close to London Bridge and Borough Market.
In terms of our values, we’re open, inclusive and easy to engage with, and we’re
ambitious for ourselves and for the global PVD community.
About the Role
The aim of this role is to help the charity run smoother, faster, cheaper and better. The Ops Manager will identify areas for operational efficiency, design and implement new systems and processes, manage digital systems, streamline workflows, and help ensure compliance with charitable and regulatory requirements. They will lead on impact measurement, support the journal, and work with the wider team to deliver successful events and other organisational goals.
Our ideal candidate will bring energy, enthusiasm, and expertise in managing projects, people and infrastructure.
We offer flexible working, a positive learning culture and opportunities for you to learn and grow in your role, including opportunities for international travel.
We celebrate diversity, and we’re committed to equality and inclusion in our recruitment practices and in our ways of working. If you’re excited about our mission, and can bring talent and enthusiasm to our cause, we’d love to hear from you.
