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.

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.
