Hours: Up to 15 hours a week with the potential for more. Core hours: 10am-8pm, must be available evenings and occasional weekends

Who are we?

The Outrunners are a running charity based in Hackney, on a mission to empower young people through movement. Backed by an incredible crew of volunteers and partner brands like Nike and Moju, we help young people in East London to build confidence, wellbeing, health and leadership skills.

We deliver free, fun, sociable, youth‑led running and movement sessions for 8–18 year olds every week - during term time and holidays. But we’re about more than just running. We also create spaces for young people to explore creativity and culture, go on exciting trips, access wraparound wellbeing support, and develop the skills and opportunities they need to shape the futures they want.

Over the past five years, we’ve supported thousands of young people and helped push greater diversity within the running world.

Last year we launched an exciting partnership with Nike’s Social and Community Impact team. As a Youth Practitioner, you’ll deliver our programmes across schools in East London, aiming to engage more young people in movement and running.

What do we want?

We are looking for a new sessional Youth Practitioner to work alongside the Youth Programme team to develop and deliver our Nike-funded schools programme across East London.

You need to be passionate about getting young people moving, in particular girls and young women, and believe in the power of excellent youth work. You'll have a good understanding of the barriers and challenges faced by young people living in East London.

What you’ll be working on:

Supporting our movement programmes

You’ll deliver fun and engaging sessions in schools to young people aged 11-18, alongside teachers and other coaches.
You’ll work with the Youth Programme Lead and other Youth Practitioners to design movement programmes, with a focus on running and movement whilst also bringing other sports, games and wellness activities.
You’ll support the development of our programmes targeted at 8-18 year olds outside of schools.
You’ll undertake administration tasks such as planning sessions, ensuring evaluation forms are completed and uploading data to our database.
You’ll complete any other business required by management and pitch in to help with other tasks at busy times during the year.

Working with young people and their families

You’ll develop and maintain relationships with young people and parents.
You’ll support young people's attendance at approximately 5 races per year (weekends)
You’ll work with the Youth Programme Team to plan and deliver activities over half-term and summer holidays.
You’ll ensure safeguarding procedures are upheld for all young people.

Does this sound like you?

A positive attitude, with lots of energy and enthusiasm and a passion for working with young people
Someone who enjoys movement/running and sees the importance of encouraging young people out of their comfort zone
A natural people-person with a high level of empathy, able to make people feel valued, respected and heard

This job is for you if:

You have experience of working with young people and their families
You have experience delivering youth programmes targeted at young people with proven successful outputs
You have relevant youth work experience/a relevant youth work qualification
You have a working understanding of safeguarding children and young people and how to maintain appropriate professional boundaries
You have a commitment to, and working understanding of, equality and diversity, with the ability to work in culturally diverse communities, as well as a readiness to challenge discriminatory behaviour
You have excellent communication, time management and organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and multitask

Desirable:

Experience working with young people in sports and fitness

Job description

REDRESS is looking to appoint an Advocacy Officer to deliver our work on policy advocacy with a focus on the United Kingdom, including on Magnitsky Sanctions, and work with survivors and survivor communities on our policy advocacy campaigns. We are seeking applications from intermediate professionals with some previous experience in human rights advocacy to contribute to this work.

We are committed to amplifying the voice of survivors of torture or ill-treatment within REDRESS and the wider sector and working to ensure that people with lived experience are partners in bringing the change needed. We strongly encourage applications from candidates with lived experience, which may mean that they or their families are survivors of torture, or that they have escaped persecution.

REDRESS has a diverse team from different backgrounds and with different experiences, including those with lived experience of torture. Under our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, we encourage 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.

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. Our approach to legal claims is strategic, so that as well as representing an individual we target the policy reasons that enabled the torture to take place, by building campaigns that uses advocacy, survivor participation, and communications to influence change.

Our 2030 Strategy sets out our priorities for 2026–2030 in response to the challenges facing the anti-torture movement and our areas of expertise.

You can find information about the organisation in the latest Trustees Annual Report. We continue to strengthen our processes to further enhance our diversity, build our survivor-centred approach, and ensure people with lived experience are part of REDRESS.
