REDRESS is recruiting a Communications Assistant to support on a range of communications activities. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of an international human rights organisation. We are seeking applications from individuals with an interest in the issues that we work on, excellent organisational skills and strong writing skills.
REDRESS has a diverse team from different backgrounds and with different experiences. Under our Equality Policy, we welcome applications from people of colour, LGBTQI+ people, and disabled people, who are currently under-represented. We will use positive action under the Equality Act 2010 to appoint from these groups if two candidates are equally qualified. We are also trying to recruit globally where UK immigration law permits it.
Who we are
REDRESS is an international human rights organisation based in London and The Hague that pursues legal claims on behalf of survivors of torture in the UK and around the world to obtain justice and reparation for violations against their human rights. We represent survivors to access justice through human rights cases against governments, civil cases against individuals, instances when we call for human rights sanctions and advocate for law enforcement bodies to prosecute perpetrators under the principle of universal jurisdiction.
Our approach is strategic, so that as well as representing an individual we target the policy reasons that enabled the torture to take place, by building a campaign that uses advocacy, community engagement and communications to influence change.
Our 2025 Strategy identifies torture related to dissent and discriminatory torture as our two thematic priorities. We also support the anti-torture movement through our solidarity programme.
REDRESS has undertaken a process of growth and modernisation over the last few years. You can find information about the organisation in the latest Trustees Annual Report.

Successful applicants will need to be passionate, creative and talented, with an interest in being on the cutting edge of innovation and delivery in the student movement. You must be an effective communicator to develop and maintain strong working relationships with our members and stakeholders. It would be beneficial to have previous experience in student services / student representation / Students’ Unionism.

As an organisation, we have an agile working programme which supports staff working from home. However, regular working each week is required onsite (minimum 3 days per week) and flexibility to meet additional business need is required, for example at certain times of the year on campus delivery may be required every day during busy student events (Welcome / Graduation etc). There may be some infrequent weekend and evening working for which time off in lieu will be given.
We have a flexible approach and are open to applications from candidates that may require some variation to the contracted hours or hybrid arrangements (although this is not a fully remote role and a minimum of 30 hours / 4 days is required). If you would like to apply on a reduced hours basis it would be helpful to include this information in your application questions however selection / shortlisting will not be influenced by this information.
Salary Details
