About Birthrights:
Birthrights was founded in 2013 with the understanding that at the heart of the poor experiences and outcomes of maternity care for so many people in the UK, is a consistent failure to listen to the voices of women and birthing people and a complete disregard for their fundamental human rights. We champion the rights of women and birthing people through information and advice, training, campaigns, research and legal action. You can read our new ten-year strategic framework here Strategy - Birthrights
About the role:
This is a maternity cover opportunity for a valued role in our Senior Leadership Team. This position is critical to our work in training healthcare professionals to understand how the law applies to practice.

You will balance overseeing some exciting new projects whilst ensuring quality delivery of our training to meet our income targets.
About You:
We are looking for someone who has the ability to manage an income-generating service, meet the strategic goals of the service, and identify advocacy opportunities towards our ambition for long term and systemic change.
You will be a collaborative and empathetic leader, with experience managing an operational service or team and generating income or managing budgets. You will have experience developing or delivering training and have some understanding of human rights law or the challenges faced by too many women and birthing people in maternity care in the UK.
