Birthrights is the leading authority on the fundamental human rights of women and birthing people during pregnancy and birth and our work has never been more urgent.
We need a strong team-player and self-starter who can respond to all enquiries coming into the advice service and who knows when to seek further support, guidance, or information from the rest of the team.
Our advice and information manager, who works 3 days a week, will retain overall responsibility for the advice service provision, bringing the intelligence themes from the advice service to the wider training and advocacy work of Birthrights. You will be supported by the manager to respond and to confidentially record advice enquiries on two days a week, working directly with the advice and information manager and our Legal Lead on any more challenging enquiries that require a response beyond giving individual advice. For example, Birthrights might write directly to a Trust or raise themes from our advice work with the NMC or the Royal Colleges. You will coordinate your schedule with the existing Advice and Information Officer and Manager to ensure that two team members are available throughout the week, with overlap in working days for collaborative working and team meetings.
You will be an integral part of our team. We have a weekly advice team meeting and monthly team meetings. We use Microsoft Teams messaging and calls to support one another and to communicate throughout the day.
Birthrights is a small but mighty charity, and our reputation will be in your hands. We pride ourselves on our expertise in human rights law, and how it applies to maternity care, and on our empathetic and supportive service. We provide legal information, rather than counselling or legal advice, and we make practical suggestions on how and where to advocate to bring about a swift resolution of a rights-based problem. We signpost to other organisations when enquiries go beyond our core areas of knowledge.
As we continue to build capacity within the team, we are focused not only on meeting current demand, but also on looking ahead — identifying the evolving needs of those who may seek our support, and ensuring our approach remains responsive, impactful, and grounded in rights-based care.
We are committed to supporting women and birthing people to access care that respects their rights. Our support includes advocating when those rights are at risk and providing clear pathways for escalation when human rights are breached.
At the same time, we view our advice service as a vital driver of wider systemic change — both within individual NHS trusts and across the maternity system as a whole. Through this work, we aim to highlight patterns, push for accountability, and contribute to building a more just and equitable maternity system.
As the service continues to grow and evolve, we may be able to offer additional hours in the future — and we would welcome your interest in being part of that journey.
It's an exciting time to join us. In 2023 we celebrated 10 years as a small charity, keeping the lived experience of women and birthing people at the heart of everything we do. We continue to champion a human rights framework in maternity care and for human rights law to underpin the regulation of maternity care. You will be one of several new staff, working under a strong board, a new 10 year strategy and a new Chief Executive.
