About Us 

CleanupUK is a national charity that supports communities in tackling the problem of litter and strengthening community connections. We work directly with people in areas of need to help them clean up and care for their local environment through the creation and support of litter-picking hubs. 

Why Join Us? 

This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference for communities and the environment nationwide. You’ll be joining a friendly, flexible and supportive team that values your creativity and initiative at an exciting time, as we continue to grow our national reach and impact. 

Who We’re Looking For 

We’re seeking an experienced and creative Communications and Marketing Manager to join us on a fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave. You’ll be passionate about driving positive change in communities and the environment, with strong skills in storytelling and creating engaging content across social media, web and campaigns. You’ll know how to bring a national charity’s voice to life in a way that connects with local communities. 

You’ll be both strategic and hands-on, able to manage multiple projects and deadlines while adapting quickly to new opportunities and priorities. Organised and proactive, you’ll thrive working with diverse partners and stakeholders. Above all, you’ll share our commitment to community engagement, tackling inequality, and protecting the environment, using your skills to inspire and amplify voices. 

About the Role 

You’ll lead our communications and engagement efforts, helping to shape and deliver key campaigns and partnerships that sit at the heart of our work.

About the role 

This is an exciting opportunity to join ATLEU, a leading anti-trafficking and human rights charity. We are looking for an inclusive, creative, talented facilitator, with exceptional leadership and interpersonal skills to be our Participation Manager.

The Participation Manager will facilitate survivors of trafficking to use their experiences to support the development of ATLEU’s work and services and to improve policy and practice across the anti-trafficking and legal advice sectors. Working with group members, this individual will be responsible for supporting the expansion of the group  (The Changemakers) and the remit of ATLEU’s participation work from January 2026 when the current projects come to a close, ensuring new members are inducted and supported to engage and lead in future projects. The overall aim of the participation and activism work is to integrate survivors at all levels within ATLEU, as well as creating a project that offers different levels of engagement, depending on the interests and capacity of individual group members.

The Participation Manager is a key member of the Rise and Lead project team, which is a groundbreaking new employment pathways project in partnership with Southeast and East Asian Centre (SEEAC) and Voice of Domestic Workers for those with experience of human trafficking and migration. 

The successful candidate will have direct experience of working with vulnerable individuals, ideally survivors of trafficking, a strong understanding of the challenges survivors face and be committed to shifting power to people with lived experience. They will have a flexible approach and understand what empowerment means in its truest sense, allowing the structure of the work to be led by the needs of the group rather than with a predetermined or fixed idea of what this will look like.
 

About ATLEU

Our vision is a just world where no one is enslaved or exploited. 

Our mission is to secure safety, rights and justice for survivors of human trafficking by using and challenging the law.

Our strategic priorities are: 

1. To provide a model of high quality holistic legal support to survivors of human trafficking and exploitation

2. To tackle systemic injustice through strategic litigation and pursuing policy change

3. To build survivor leadership and influence within ATLEU and across the sector

4. To strengthen the capacity of advice, frontline and community organisations to meet the needs of survivors

5. To invest in and support our people to ensure we are effective and sustainable

Our values are:

There is always another way

We are persistent, resourceful and creative in our approach.  We do the hard work to make justice accessible.  We don’t give up in the fight for fairness and freedom.

We make the time. We listen. We hear

We take the time to really listen to our clients and colleagues. We want to restore autonomy and agency from where it was stolen.  We give advice, not tell you what to do. If you fight, we fight.  Our clients’ needs come first.

Knowledge is for sharing.

We lead the way in our knowledge and expertise of reforming the law. The strength of our team comes from our willingness to collaborate and share.  We put our work before pride and always ask for help. Power of our knowledge comes through sharing it with others to secure justice and reform the law.

Although just a small team, ATLEU’s work has led to significant changes in law and policy. Since we were established in 2013, we have led the way in ensuring that survivors of trafficking have access to free, independent legal advice by enabling access to legal aid, across the range of issues survivors experience. For example, our litigation against the Legal Aid Agency led to their concession that legal aid provision was insufficient for victims of trafficking and an increase in the number of trafficking compensation cases that legal aid providers were contractually able to assist with each year (from 5 up to 100). Following litigation on behalf of our client LL, the Legal Aid Agency agreed that victims of trafficking were legally entitled to free immigration advice on applying for leave to remain in the UK on the basis of their trafficking experiences and publicised this entitlement.
