Liberty is an independent campaigning organisation. At Liberty, we challenge injustice, defend freedom and campaign to make sure everyone in the UK is treated fairly. In 2020, Liberty launched an exciting new project using the tools of investigative journalism to expose and challenge abuses of power and violations of human rights: Liberty Investigates.

We believe rigorously pursued, collaborative investigative journalism can be instrumental in challenging abuses of power, and we believe it’s needed now more than ever. The team, currently made up of the Investigations Editor and two Investigative Journalists, undertakes work designed to have real-world impact – by holding power accountable, changing narratives and sparking positive change in human rights.

Our small team has worked with publishing partners including the Times, the Guardian, the Observer, Independent, Sky News, Channel 4 News, and local press. We’ve been shortlisted for the Private Eye Paul Foot Award twice, were finalists two years running for the Orwell Prize for Exposing Britain’s Social Evils, and were recently shortlisted for the European Press Prize.

Funding has allowed us to recruit another reporter on a 12-month fixed-term contract, and we are looking for an ambitious Investigative Journalist to help us deliver more impactful work in 2026.

You will need to understand the power of telling stories and the role that journalism plays in mobilising action in the public interest. You will need a passion for upholding high factual and ethical standards. You will be excited about working in a multi-disciplinary campaigning organisation, and you will have excellent newsgathering, writing and contact-building skills.

At Liberty we are striving to build a team that is truly inclusive – we understand that as an organisation we can only work at our best when we have a diverse workforce sharing a wealth of ideas and experiences. We therefore encourage applications from marginalised groups, particularly people of colour, trans and non-binary people and disabled people. Liberty supports hybrid working, with a minimum of two days per week in the Westminster office.

The deadline for applications is 9am Monday 12 January 2026

Applications received after this deadline will not be considered.
