Our approach to hybrid working
We recognise the importance of coming together regularly, in-person, as a team, so we can share learnings and spend social time with each other. We also recognise that people need flexibility, and that homeworking enables focused work and can fit well in people’s lives.
We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space. We also might ask you to meet in-person with members of your team from time to time, or to be available for face-to-face meetings with clients and partners where this enhances the work.
We assume that this would usually not amount to more than one day per fortnight for people who work full time.
We are happy to discuss how this sits in your life. This can be agreed by your line manager.
Equality and inclusion
As reflected in our Equality Action Plan, we are committed to being a truly diverse organisation. We want to ensure that our trustees, staff members, lived experience partners and volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences. We want to ensure that everyone feels heard and is fully able to participate and thrive.
We are committed to diversifying our team in order to broaden the insight and experiences we can draw on, and to do our work more credibly. So we strongly encourage people from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background, and people who live with health conditions or disability to apply. Our offices are fully accessible and we are an LGBT+ friendly employer. Men are currently underrepresented in our team so we would welcome applications from men and non-binary people.
We welcome applications from people who have been in contact with the criminal justice system. For some roles, you may be asked to undergo a basic or enhanced DBS check, but you will only be deemed ineligible for roles which relate to any offences on your criminal record.
We have a range of benefits in place to ensure everyone can thrive, for example:
- We are a Disability Confident employer
- We offer enhanced parental and sickness leave
- We offer flexible working wherever possible
- We provide our employees with an annual wellbeing allowance
- And much more

Casework & Training Lead Officer
Full-time (35 hours); initial one-year contract; £28-35K dependent on experience, immediate start
Deadline for applications: 25th May 2025
Amicus provides representation for those facing the death penalty in the US. We believe capital punishment is imposed disproportionately on the most vulnerable in society, violating their right to due process and to equal justice before the law. Our aims are to provide better access to justice and to raise awareness of potential abuses of defendants' rights.
We are not primarily a campaigning organisation; rather, we believe we can make the greatest difference through frontline work, including via our extensive network of casework teams working on a variety of projects.
We’re seeking a Lead Officer to play a central role in the busy Amicus team, with the position’s focus being on casework and on training. The role offers a great deal of variety: coordinating our busy casework programme of projects, including supporting caseworkers and teams; and leading in the delivery of training and educational events, especially those aimed at our casework teams.
You will be part of a small team, which means we all pitch in to help each other when necessary. Workload will be demanding at times, an ability to work across multiple tasks and to prioritise will be essential. Given the critical and highly sensitive nature of our work, attention to detail, meeting deadlines and quality of work all are a high priority. You will be interacting with law firms and volunteers all around the world, making communication skills essential for the role.
This is a hybrid role; there will be a requirement to be in our central London office, generally Thursday and Fridays, as well as for casework briefings at law firms as required within the working day, alongside some remote working. Office hours are Monday to Friday 10am to 6pm with an hour lunch break. We run two major training events each year that would require weekend working. We would consider part-time/job-share working for the right person/people.
This is a wonderful opportunity to join our Amicus family and to help make a difference to the lives of under-represented individuals, through practical action. If you’re passionate about human rights or social justice and believe in proactive action, then we can offer you a supportive environment where both your career and your passion can thrive.
Application process:
Please submit your application via email to:
- Allan (please see application method)
by providing your CV and a (maximum one-page) covering letter, highlighting how your skills and your experience meet the role’s needs. Applications must be received by 6pm on 25th May 2025.
