ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for two Experts by Experience Board Advisors to join the Helen Bamber Foundation Board of Trustees, who have lived experience of seeking asylum, being granted refugee status or another form of protection in the UK and lived experience of extreme human rights abuses.

Liberty Investigates is the editorially independent investigative journalism unit at Liberty, the UK’s oldest human rights organisation.

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 a variety of publishing partners including the Times, the Guardian, The Telegraph, Sky News, Channel 4 News, Dazed, Al Jazeera English, 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 last year were shortlisted for the European Press Prize.

Funding has allowed us to recruit another reporter on a 12-month fixed-term contract as we deliver on Liberty’s exciting new three-year strategy. We are looking for an ambitious Investigative Journalist to help us deliver more impactful work on the role of AI technology in UK public authorities, particularly policing.

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, and all socio-economic sections of society. Liberty supports hybrid working, with a minimum of two days per week in the Westminster office.

The deadline for applications is 9am, Monday 6 July 2026

Applications received after this deadline will not be considered.

Please be aware that we do not accept CVs for this role. All applicants must complete the application form to apply.
