About us
Jigsaw exists to build rigorous evidence for lasting change in education. We engage in applied research, evaluation, strategy and technical assistance.
Our work focuses on high-impact areas which can strengthen quality education in low- and middle-income countries. This includes specific technical focus on: education technology; education in emergencies and protracted crises; education, climate and environment; and education for girls.
Our values
We focus on the end game - this means you can expect us to focus on things like contextualisation, sustainability and scalability.
We play to our strengths - this means we only say yes to a few things, invest in building our technical expertise, and aim to be exceptional at what we do.
We ask important questions - life is too short to go with the flow, so we challenge ourselves and those we work with to think critically and constructively about big problems.
We treat people with dignity - power dynamics are real, respect is important, and our values are lived out through every interaction we have with each other and our research participants.
We are committed to learning - we do this collaboratively and rigorously, we believe in understanding complex systems, validating our assumptions and applying lean and adaptive principles to all our work.
We prioritise local contexts - and believe that our work is most effective when communities are centrally involved in decision-making.
We listen deeply - everyone has a story and this matters, so we prioritise participatory and child-friendly methods and build strong relationships with local research organisations.
We believe change is possible - but making it happen is complex and takes a long time, so we focus our energy on ensuring our work gets read, listened to, and has a positive impact on decision-making.
Our work
Our work is about building evidence that both strengthens and disrupts the education sector. We focus on areas of the sector which we believe to have the highest potential to improve education for those most in need.
The majority of our current engagements focus on the following four areas: education technology; education in emergencies and protracted crises; education, climate and environment; and education for girls – although these are often overlapping and interconnected with a range of other critical issues. We embrace the complexity of education by wrestling with these intersections. This is where our work has the greatest impact.
On our website you can read more about why we focus on these things, our case studies, and the organisations we work with.
Why this role
There is a crisis in education quality in low-income countries. All of Jigsaw’s work is focused on helping to tackle this through applied research, evaluation, strategy and technical assistance. We exist to build rigorous evidence for education. Our mission is clear and our team is growing.

JRF works to speed up and support the transition to a more equitable and just future, free from poverty, in which people and planet can flourish. We are a UK-wide foundation, with a focus on all four nations.
From 2025, we are embarking on an exciting new strategy aimed at securing bold, stretching policy goals across six key areas: housing, energy/climate, social security, communities & place, work and families & care.
We are looking for two talented, energetic and passionate campaigners to lead our influencing work in support of these goals, playing an instrumental role in JRF’s success.
About the role
Our Senior Campaigns and Public Affairs Managers play three important roles. Firstly, they collaborate closely with their equivalents in our policy and analytical teams to ensure that our major policy ideas are designed from the outset to attract the highest possible levels of public and political support.
Second, they are responsible for identifying the best fit influencing strategies and tactics (ranging from insider approaches to more overt campaigning) for securing tangible progress towards these policy objectives and developing powerful narratives to build support from key stakeholders.
Thirdly, they are responsible for securing (on an ongoing basis) the resources the strategies need, mobilising colleagues, partner organisations and external contractors to put them into effect, growing a powerful network of influential external supporters and ensuring that plans respond effectively to the ever-evolving external context.
About you
As our Senior Campaigns & Public Affairs Manager, we’d like you to have an in-depth understanding of the ways in which UK public policies are formed and reformed, of the challenges associated with delivering policy in the real world and of how civil society organisations like JRF can successfully influence policy change.
You will have an understanding of the structural nature of poverty and how policy may alleviate structural harms and substantial experience of working at progressively senior levels at the intersection of policy development, politics and strategic communications/ campaigns.
You’ll have substantial experience of working in multidisciplinary teams using a range of insider and outsider tactics and compelling examples of developing and implementing influencing strategies that have demonstrably affected the climate of opinion around an issue and ideally, achieved concrete change.
With a proven track record of successfully building relationships with decision makers and influencing their thinking, you’ll have clear examples of writing effectively for a wide range of audiences and of commissioning, understanding and using public attitudinal insights to inform your influencing strategies and/or narrative development.
How to apply
If you share our passion and this role sounds like you, then we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
Please submit your CV and supporting information via our online application platform.

About Reprieve
Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again.
In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.
Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing.
We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues.
Reprieve’s main office is in Aldgate, London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.
Reprieve works in close partnership with its independent sibling organisation Reprieve US. This collaboration is mutually beneficial to both Reprieve and Reprieve US as it enables each organisation to work more effectively and take advantage of the strategic locations to increase the impact of our work.
Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer and we particularly welcome applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those with disabilities. Reprieve is committed to fighting racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve.
About the Role
The Legal Officer will be an integral part of the UK Litigation team and will work closely with external legal teams to advance our cases and ensure coordination of legal actions in line with Reprieve’s strategic goals. They will be responsible for administration and maintenance of casefiles and key case management documents and assume certain day-to-day file management responsibilities. They will feed into case strategy discussions and will support the team by conducting and overseeing legal and factual research, drafting documents for litigation and advocacy purposes, and producing and maintaining core internal documents and records. The Legal Officer will also help advance investigations on selected cases, coordinating record collection, feeding into investigation plans and supporting other investigative work.
In addition to working on UK legal cases, the role will encompass work on Reprieve’s cross-cutting strategic United Nations engagement and international litigation. This will involve monitoring for relevant opportunities to shape international law and working on international legal submissions, particularly before international human rights complaints mechanisms and international tribunals.
There may also be opportunities to contribute to other areas of Reprieve’s work.
The Legal Officer will be responsible for overseeing and line managing trainees seconded from partner law firms.
