- You think British criminal justice is broken

- You want to raise the profile of miscarriages of justice

- You love campaigning and persuasively changing minds

- You have a passion for using stories to engage decision-makers and influence better policy

- You understand the complex needs of people with involvement in the criminal justice system

Sound like you?

We’re looking for an exceptional and highly motivated communications and policy professional. If you want to have a direct impact on raising the profile of miscarriages of justice and fixing our broken criminal justice system, then we want to hear from you. In this role you’ll manage strategic communications projects, engaging key audiences and seeking platforms for our staff, our prisoner clients and their families.

We’re looking for someone who’s led impactful communications campaigns aimed at a broad range of audiences. You’ll have proven experience of delivering timely and effective communications and engagement strategies that have enabled organisations to achieve their aims. You’ll have a passion for storytelling and an ability to work alongside those with lived experience of the cirminal justice system. You’ll understand the complex needs of people with involvement in the justice system, and with experiences of trauma or poverty. You’ll have worked in a complex organisation and understand how to deliver excellent content against audience needs. You’ll also demonstrate exceptional judgement and excellent stakeholder management.

Who are we?

APPEAL is a law charity that fights miscarriages of justice and demands reform. Our small team of lawyers, advocates and investigators take on criminal appeals on behalf of prisoners who cannot afford legal representation.

1. We investigate: battling for access to records and exhibits, arranging new forensic testing, conducting street-level investigation, and systematically analysing case documentation, digging deep to find the fresh evidence that proves a conviction is unsafe or a sentence is unfair.
2. We litigate: bringing cases to the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the Administrative Court and the Court of Appeal.
3. We advocate: working with former prisoners, campaigners, students, legal professionals, policy makers and other stakeholders to ensure our justice system learns from its mistakes.

We are committed to winning justice for individuals and their families, but also usingcases as impact litigation to push for systemic change to make our criminal justice system more accurate, fair and accountable. This involves not just legal work, but also implementation of a robust communications and policy strategy, as the reforms needed must come from parliamentary and policy interventions as well as from judicial precedent.

Work Specification

• You will lead APPEAL’s justice policy reform efforts and manage the day to day operation of our communications strategy.
• You will leverage APPEAL’s casework, research and campaigning around our Initiative to end the use of imprisonment for debt, that falls under the work of the Women’s Justice Initiative (WJI). The WJI primarily aims to use criminal appeals as impact litigation for imprisoned women who have experienced severe and multiple disadvantage.
• You will lead on policy reform efforts around APPEAL’s Open Justice goals, including advocating for better access to police and prosecution material, reform of the disclosure system, access to trial transcripts and improving the effectiveness of the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
• You will manage APPEAL’s external communications, including drafting press releases, liaising with journalists, managing the website and APPEAL’s social media accounts and writing our annual impact report.
• You will also support our Bound by Injustice group, working with the family members of our imprisoned clients and clients themselves to empower them as advocates for reform.
• The job may expand to include managing the day-to-day operation of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Miscarriages of Justice for which APPEAL is currently the secretariat.

We’re looking for an experienced and inclusive problem-solver, with lots of experience of product design, to lead our Product Design community at Citizens Advice. You’ll lead a multi-level team of Product Designers working across the organisation, collectively delivering a sustainable, user-led approach to advice. The team is at the heart of the organisation’s ambition to deliver our vision for 2022.

We’re growing fast, and today, we have 7 multidisciplinary product teams in our London office, split across four areas: public advice, adviser-facing services, platforms, and funded programmes.

What we mean when we say ‘Product Design’

In Customer Journey we often design digital products, but we’re not limited to digital. Our Product Designers designs products, touchpoints, and services. We break Product Design down to 4 aspects of design:

• User Experience (UX) Design — how a thing feels
• Interaction Design — how a thing behaves
• User Interface Design — how a thing looks
• Information Architecture — how a thing is structured

You’ll lead the practice of product design across all of these areas, solving difficult design problems and working on things that really matter. You’ll bring your team onboard with ideas, and coordinate design activities across multiple products to enable a clear and unified user experience. 

You’ll be responsible for ensuring the right conditions for designers to work effectively. You’ll set design direction, assure the quality of design delivery across teams, and make sure we design with all users in mind. You’ll be an ally and mentor to other designers who will learn from your skills and experience.

You’ll provide leadership and coaching to the Product Design community, ensuring the team work collaboratively and consistently across all products and platforms. You will help us meet our mission by discovering new ways of approaching (and solving) complex problems and concepts, across the full breadth of product design.

Everyone is welcome at Citizens Advice. We care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work flexibly, or part-time, we’ll facilitate this — whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance. Several of our leadership team work 4 days a week, and we all work from home regularly.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from, LGB and Trans and non binary candidates.

We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in role profiles.

The Customer Journey team is at the heart of the organisation’s ambition to deliver our vision for 2022. We’re growing fast, and today, we have 7 multidisciplinary product teams (digital products for the public and advisers) and 6 service teams (end-to-end multi-channel services).

You’ll come at an exciting time where you can make a huge impact and tackle the challenge of designing services that work across multiple channels, devices, browsers, and platforms. Our team have been integral to our organisation’s response to COVID-19. Local Citizens Advice and operations colleagues are doing amazing work to keep services running, and increase phone and digital provision. The customer journey team and colleagues are creating new and updated content on coronavirus and related issues, for the public and advisers.

The seamless customer journey lead will lead a multi-disciplinary team to create change across our service, so we provide a seamless customer experience for our clients, whatever channel or part of the service they use. We are looking for someone with lots of experience of service design or service transformation, who has experience of making services more user-centred, and leading change through others. We’re looking for someone who leads in an inclusive way. 

The role will involve directly managing a small team of designers and researchers, and directing the work of colleagues across the organisation and network. It requires extensive stakeholder management and relationship building, including with colleagues who are new to user-centred design.

You won’t be starting from scratch. The team has already carried out a discovery phase looking across all our services. The team and colleagues across our service are implementing ideas from this through our COVID-19 response work, to move us closer to a seamless customer journey. In this financial year we are focusing on one exemplar service to create a seamless customer journey — our consumer service. A discovery phase into that service is underway now.

Since 2001 we have reached over 24,000 children and young people and have ambitious plans to positively impact the lives of many more.
