If you are pro-choice, highly organised, excited by big challenges and committed to helping people access safe, legal abortions, then the new role of Operations and New Service Coordinator at Abortion Support Network (ASN) could be the next step for you. 

ASN is a small but mighty UK-registered charity supporting people who are forced to travel to access safe, legal abortions from places where they are unable to access the healthcare they deserve. Since 2009 ASN has been contacted by over 5,000 people from Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Malta and Gibraltar. It’s an exciting time for ASN since the Irish referendum on repeal in 2018 brought change to Ireland, the Isle of Man also introduced abortion provision, and even in Northern Ireland the legislation changed in October this year. 

We’ve not hung up our helpline and we have no intention of doing so any time soon, while there are women and pregnant people close to home who need abortions. We’re committed to supporting the growth of the abortion funds movement, and to making sure that, until there is safe, legal, local abortion everywhere, activists like us are able to help people who need us. 

This new hire will join our existing staff team of c.90 active volunteers, CEO (0.8 FTE), Service & Volunteer Manager (FT) and our Bookkeeper (0.2 FTE). As Operations & New Service Coordinator you will play a crucial part in delivering ASN's existing services and supporting our brilliant volunteers. It's also an exciting opportunity to work closely with our existing staff to develop a new service that will provide support to even more people who cannot access the abortions they need at home. ASN is a small and dynamic organisation punching well above its weight - we have strong relationships with partners and collaborators, dedicated supporters and donors, and we're changing the lives of people who need abortions around Europe, and building the abortion funds movement. 

If you are interested in the role please read the job description and person specification below and submit your CV and a covering letter detailing how you would suit the role (each no more than two pages) before 9pm on Friday 6 December.
