It has been a testing year for everyone, including charity leaders, many of whom are facing increased demand with reduced resources in a tough influencing environment. We are looking for a head of advocacy who can think boldly and creatively to address these challenges.

ACEVO is the network for social sector CEOs, here to inspire and support our members throughout their careers, to help them create the biggest possible difference. We want someone whose advocacy and communications work is built on values of inclusion, collaboration and mobilisation.

ACEVO’s vision for its advocacy work is to help shape the agenda on issues that matter to our members, and ensure their voices are heard by those who have the power to effect change.

You will help us:

• Support and enable our members to lead strong, sustainable organisations that meet the needs of their beneficiaries.
• Celebrate the dedication, professionalism and expertise of civil society leaders.
• Represent the experiences and needs of our membership to those with the ability to make positive changes for the sector.
• Stimulate debate that guides the improvement of sector standards and stronger leadership.
• Work with partner organisations to drive collective cross-sector change.
• Mobilise our members to work alongside us to achieve ambitious changes to policies that negatively impact civil society.
• Achieve political change by pursuing reforms which are both aspirational and practical.

You will head up ACEVO’s small but impactful advocacy team and set our advocacy, policy and external comms priorities in line with our organisational strategic objectives. You will oversee our output of policy positions, research, briefings, press statements and reports. You will work with the chief executive to set the tone and agree the messaging for our external communications.

You will be a key part of the senior management team, contributing to both the development of our strategy and effective delivery of our strategic objectives.

We welcome applications from people seeking flexible working. The current post-holder works 28 hours a week, but we welcome applications from those seeking a five-day week, or from job-share applicants. You will be home based but with frequent visits to London to meet up with the team and attend events (one to three times a week when Covid regulations allow).

We’re offering a salary of £50k (FTE), 28 days holiday a year (plus bank holidays) and good pension benefits. In our most recent staff survey, 100% of our team said they enjoy their job and would recommend ACEVO as a great place to work.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a Zoom-based interview between 10-12 May, with second interviews for finalists being held on 17-19 May.

Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.

The US Death Penalty Project Manager is responsible for coordinating the US death penalty area at Reprieve.  You will be an integral member of the US Death Penalty Team, and will work closely with Reprieve’s Joint Executive Directors, Directors, Deputy Directors, Head of US Death Penalty Casework, and alongside Reprieve US staff, including its Deputy Director.

In this role, you will be responsible for managing a team [and] implementing strategies to achieve Reprieve’s goals in relation to the US death penalty. The work you will be managing will include: advocacy, investigation, strategic litigation, corporate engagement and public education focused around preventing the misuse of medicines in lethal injections and debunking the myth of the ‘humane’ execution, and casework management in support of Reprieve’s individual US death penalty cases.

UNISON is the UK’s leading public services trade union, with over 1.3 million members working in the public sector, private, voluntary and community sectors and in the energy services. We employ approximately 1,200 staff, with around 370 at our national centre in Euston in central London and the remainder in our 12 regions across the UK, including Northern Ireland.

UNISON is looking for a new Director of Communications to lead our in-house team and develop our communications and engagement with our 1.3 million members, our network of activists, potential members and the wider public.

We’ve always had great stories to tell, but never more so than now – can you help us develop our narrative, amplify our members’ voices and develop powerful communications with and about our members?

UNISON members have been at the heart of the UK’s response to the pandemic – caring for patients, supporting people in care homes, and keeping our communities and key services going. And the union has been right by their side, organising, campaigning and providing support, advice and practical help.

Public support for key workers is high. Yet our members’ experience has also been of years of underfunding, job cuts and the endless reorganisation and fragmentation of public services. Not to mention a decade that has seen pay kept low and a real-terms drop in income.

If the lessons of the pandemic are to be learned, it’s never been more vital to make the case for investing in quality public services, creating a national care service and properly rewarding our key workers.

There’s a lot to do and a million stories to tell. We need a consummate communications professional with excellent leadership and people management skills, combined with a passion for social justice and a sharp political mind. If you’re inspired by the amazing work our members do, come and help make their voices heard.

Applications must be received by no later than Monday 10 May 2021 at 12pm.

Interviews will be held on Thursday 27/Friday 28 May 2021.

UNISON is a dynamic, progressive union, committed to equality. We encourage men and women of all ages, Black and minority ethnic groups, disabled people, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to work with us.
