About this role

We are very excited to be recruiting for a new community organiser to help us deliver a range of organising projects across Custom House. You will be joining a passionate and dedicated team of experienced organisers to who are committed to supporting PEACH’s members, all of whom are local residents, to achieve long-lasting, positive social change in the area.  We are looking for someone who cares deeply about social justice, who can make sense of and communicate complex information quickly and clearly, and who feels confident building strong, action-oriented relationships in a diverse community. 

About PEACH

PEACH: People’s Empowerment Alliance for Custom House, was founded in April 2013 and is also a ‘Big Local’ area in receipt of Big Lottery funding until 2026. Over the last 7 years, we have built a people’s organisation led by formidable community leaders who have achieved real change that previously seemed unthinkable in our area. From mothers organising to win a £300k rent cut from their temporary landlord, to local leaders setting up a successful workers’ co-operative cleaning business, to hundreds of residents democratising large scale regeneration schemes, we have been at the forefront of community empowerment.  Through our work, we have built up a treasure chest of grounded expertise and knowledge: our work has been researched and documented and we are now consistently asked to advise/teach educational, governmental and third sector bodies about co-production, community engagement and organising strategy.

PEACH is part of the Big Local Scheme, which has seen 150 areas across England receive £1million worth of funding over 10 years to improve their areas. In order to receive the money, we had to set up a decision-making body (where most members are residents of the area) and submit a Big Local Plan which said what we are aiming to achieve and how we were going to get there.

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.

Due to limited capacity and plentiful opportunities, we are looking for an experienced Trust and Foundation fundraiser to join our team on an interim six-month basis.

This role will sit within the Development and Outreach team and will be responsible for writing high quality, engaging funder reports, applications, award nominations and communications and for helping to further develop, refine and put plans in place for a pipeline of prospective funders, with a focus on UK and US organisations.

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser with a track-record of successful applications to charitable trusts, foundations, and statutory bodies, and someone with the professionalism, energy, creativity and drive to make a success of an interim role.

The Development and Outreach Team is small so you will need to be a self-starter and comfortable getting stuck-in. But you will receive all the support you need to learn about Reprieve’s areas of work and be a member of a close-knit, supportive team. 

You will be comfortable in communicating and collaborating with people across Reprieve, from caseworkers, to the finance team and operations, as well as local partners and fellows. You will be an excellent communicator with a passion for Reprieve, and the willingness to muck in on all tasks big or small in order to ensure that Reprieve is in the best position possible to keep delivering justice and saving lives.  

Given current restrictions as a result of the coronavirus, we remain working from home rather than our London-office. As government advice changes, the office will reopen.

Applicants must have the current right  to work in the UK. Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer and we particularly welcome applicants who are significantly underrepresented in our sector, such as members of the LGBTQI community, those with disabilities, and individuals from Black and minority ethnic communities.

If you don’t have all of these experiences, we’d encourage you to apply anyway - we want to find someone passionate about email, digital mobilisation, and using data to inform decision-making, with a strong aptitude for learning.
