Reprieve is pleased to advertise for two Trustees to join our Board and provide the highest level of Governance. The Board meets four times a year (normally April, July, October and December).
About Reprieve
Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.
Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.
Reprieve’s main office is in 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 roles
Our new Trustees will be passionate about our vision and mission and will be able to bring inclusive and knowledgeable insight to the Board and the Executive Directors. They will have a passion for seeking justice for the victims of extreme human rights abuses. They will support our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion at Reprieve and share our commitment to fighting against racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve.
Trustee
We are seeking a new trustee with direct or indirect lived experience of some of the conditions and difficulties faced by beneficiaries of Reprieve’s work or other victims of human rights abuses. This could include long term or arbitrary detention or other human rights abuses, whether or not Reprieve would have been able to have been involved.
For full details please see the role description.
Trustee and Chair of the Development Committee
We are seeking a new trustee who would look to take on the Chair of our Development Committee when the current Chair retires in April 2025. You will be someone who has experience as a senior fundraising volunteer or who is well networked and happy to connect us with your contacts and make asks on behalf of Reprieve. Reprieve has a highly diverse funding base, built up over many years, and you would help support this by working with our Philanthropy and Events team to maximise support from individuals.
