Background
People and communities around the world have the solutions to social injustice, authoritarianism, and the climate crisis. But repressive governments, corrupt corporations, and armed groups use violence and oppression to try and silence them.
By building resistance and resilience among those challenging unaccountable power, Open Briefing supports a shared vision for a world where communities and ecosystems can thrive.
As a mission-driven nonprofit, we join forces with grassroots activists, community groups, and social movements at risk. Working together, we strengthen their physical safety, digital resilience, and collective wellbeing.

This dual approach allows us to work at every level of civil society, from the grassroots to the global.
We have scaled to meet a 66% surge in demand for our support over the past two years, with our international team now responding to 11 new cases every week. Last year, we:
- Answered 575 calls for assistance across 100 countries.
- Delivered over 6,000 hours of mentoring and accompaniment.
- Trained over 1,000 activists in 112 holistic security workshops.
Across all our work, the same approach guides us. We come with questions, not just answers. We listen to the knowledge and experiences of the people we support before sharing our own. Then we act, together.
We are expanding our diverse, inspired, and purpose-driven team. Will you join us as our new director of digital and information security?

Are you someone who enjoys hands-on work and wants to make a meaningful difference every day? At Age UK Bromley & Greenwich, we’re looking for a practical, compassionate individual to join our team as a Handyperson. This is a vital role supporting older people and those with long-term health conditions as they return home from hospital.
You’ll be part of a fast-moving, highly valued service that helps people stay safe, independent and confident in their own homes. From installing grab rails and key safes to putting up curtain rails or fixing minor plumbing issues, the work you do will directly improve lives and reduce the risk of accidents and readmissions.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety and problem-solving, as no two days are the same. You’ll work closely with occupational therapists, respond to referrals (often on the same day), and be trusted to manage your own tasks with care and professionalism. You’ll also support our paid-for service offering, where your practical help continues to give people the reassurance they need to live independently.
We’re looking for someone with a solid set of DIY skills, a proactive attitude and a full UK driving licence. In return, you’ll join a warm, committed charity that has been supporting the local community for over 50 years. You’ll be part of a team that genuinely cares about the people we serve.
If you're ready to bring your practical skills into a role with real purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
We're a local charity working in the community to support older people, their families and carers. We want everyone to be able to love later life.
