- You think British criminal justice is broken

- You want to raise the profile of miscarriages of justice

- You love campaigning and persuasively changing minds

- You have a passion for using stories to engage decision-makers and influence better policy

- You understand the complex needs of people with involvement in the criminal justice system

Sound like you?

We’re looking for an exceptional and highly motivated communications and policy professional. If you want to have a direct impact on raising the profile of miscarriages of justice and fixing our broken criminal justice system, then we want to hear from you. In this role you’ll manage strategic communications projects, engaging key audiences and seeking platforms for our staff, our prisoner clients and their families.

We’re looking for someone who’s led impactful communications campaigns aimed at a broad range of audiences. You’ll have proven experience of delivering timely and effective communications and engagement strategies that have enabled organisations to achieve their aims. You’ll have a passion for storytelling and an ability to work alongside those with lived experience of the cirminal justice system. You’ll understand the complex needs of people with involvement in the justice system, and with experiences of trauma or poverty. You’ll have worked in a complex organisation and understand how to deliver excellent content against audience needs. You’ll also demonstrate exceptional judgement and excellent stakeholder management.

Who are we?

APPEAL is a law charity that fights miscarriages of justice and demands reform. Our small team of lawyers, advocates and investigators take on criminal appeals on behalf of prisoners who cannot afford legal representation.

1. We investigate: battling for access to records and exhibits, arranging new forensic testing, conducting street-level investigation, and systematically analysing case documentation, digging deep to find the fresh evidence that proves a conviction is unsafe or a sentence is unfair.
2. We litigate: bringing cases to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the Administrative Court and the Court of Appeal.
3. We advocate: working with former prisoners, campaigners, students, legal professionals, policy makers and other stakeholders to ensure our justice system learns from its mistakes.

We are committed to winning justice for individuals and their families, but also usingcases as impact litigation to push for systemic change to make our criminal justice system more accurate, fair and accountable. This involves not just legal work, but also implementation of a robust communications and policy strategy, as the reforms needed must come from parliamentary and policy interventions as well as from judicial precedent.

Work Specification

• You will lead APPEAL’s justice policy reform efforts and manage the day to day operation of our communications strategy.
• You will leverage APPEAL’s casework, research and campaigning around our Initiative to end the use of imprisonment for debt, that falls under the work of the Women’s Justice Initiative (WJI). The WJI primarily aims to use criminal appeals as impact litigation for imprisoned women who have experienced severe and multiple disadvantage.
• You will lead on policy reform efforts around APPEAL’s Open Justice goals, including advocating for better access to police and prosecution material, reform of the disclosure system, access to trial transcripts and improving the effectiveness of the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
• You will manage APPEAL’s external communications, including drafting press releases, liaising with journalists, managing the website and APPEAL’s social media accounts and writing our annual impact report.
• You will also support our Bound by Injustice group, working with the family members of our imprisoned clients and clients themselves to empower them as advocates for reform.
• The job may expand to include managing the day-to-day operation of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Miscarriages of Justice for which APPEAL is currently the secretariat.

Summary

We are looking for a talented Content Producer to play a vital role in our mission to support more people with and at risk of diabetes to live better and more confidently.

Your focus will be to produce audience-first content across multiple touchpoints to support people affected by diabetes to be physically active. As a key member of the Live Well, Move More cross-charity project group, you will use audience insights to plan, produce and evaluate high-quality content for our digital platforms, in print, and across our social media channels. You won't just be writing excellent copy - you'll be involved in video, photography, graphic and audio content too. This content will form the basis of social, email and paid ad content, signposting those audiences to more detailed website content and a print toolkit. An expert in content marketing, you'll know how to increase the reach and engagement of your content, and how to build excellent customer journeys to drive conversions.

This role will harness the power of great storytelling with great content design, helping the user to understand the role physical activity plays in a healthy lifestyle. You will ensure that all content created is reflective of our brand essence, and always embodies our tone of voice characteristics: authentic, inspiring, frank, confident and human.

You will expertly leverage the use of Search Engine Optimisation, Google Analytics and other analytic tools to make informed and timely decisions. And you will have experience with content management systems and offer support on best practice to devolved web editors across the organisation.
