We are seeking people with personal experience of hearing voices, or having experiences or beliefs that others do not, to co-facilitate a new Hearing Voices Group in Southwark. Working within the principles of the Hearing Voices Network Groups Charter, Co-Facilitators will help create a safe, inclusive and trauma-informed peer support space where participants can explore their experiences without judgement and on their own terms. Our intention is to recruit two sessional workers to support the groups on alternating weeks, and a third to cover occasional groups for leave.
Key responsibilities include facilitating group discussions, encouraging mutual respect and equal participation, supporting a non-pathologising approach to hearing voices and unusual experiences, and, where appropriate, drawing on lived experience to foster connection, hope and mutual support. Co-Facilitators will work collaboratively with fellow facilitators to ensure the group remains welcoming, supportive and responsive to participants' needs.
Experience facilitating groups is not essential as sessional workers will receive support and training. They will need to be available for three days of training by an expert facilitator, currently scheduled for 2nd, 9th and 23rd Oct.
The group is due to be weekly on Tuesday evenings at Walworth Living Room, starting from November.

Contract Type: Permanent
Prospectus are excited to partner with our client in their search for a Head of Campaigns – Planning and Infrastructure. As they enter an exciting new chapter, this newly created role will play a pivotal role in strengthening their campaigning capability and shaping some of the most important national debates about how we use our finite supply of land in joined up, sustainable ways.
Working closely with colleagues across the charity, the charity's England wide network, and external partners and allies, you'll help to drive the charity's ambitious campaigning agenda. This role will collaborate with the also newly created Head of Campaigns – Landscapes and Land Use. While each role leads a distinct portfolio, together they will deliver the charity's strategic goals for a more joined-up approach to land, ensuring decisions about housing, infrastructure, food production, nature, climate and landscapes are no longer made in isolation, through campaigns that connect people, influence policy and create lasting change.
This is not a traditional policy role. We're looking for a strategic campaigner who understands how to combine policy insight, public engagement and influential relationships to drive change. And for someone’s who’s interested in the bigger picture of how planning and infrastructure fit into wider land use debates.
Leading the charity's work on planning, infrastructure and development, you'll translate complex issues into compelling campaigns and policy stories that influence decision-makers and mobilise and grow the charity's supporter base, building momentum for change. You'll ensure the charity remains at the forefront of shaping conversations around the future and purpose of strategic and joined up planning and the opportunities it offers for people, nature restoration and adaptation to climate change.
You will bring significant experience of leading campaigns, policy communications, external affairs or influencing work, alongside a strong understanding of the planning and infrastructure landscape. You do not need to be a qualified planner, but you will have the credibility to engage confidently with policymakers, sector experts, partners and MPs, and the ability to turn that understanding into effective campaign strategies. You'll be an exceptional relationship builder, with experience bringing together coalitions, networks and stakeholders around shared goals. Most importantly, you'll understand how to connect policy issues to public concerns, creating campaigns that inspire people to get involved while delivering tangible policy impact.
We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience across planning, housing, infrastructure, transport, development, public affairs, environmental advocacy or related campaigning fields, who are passionate about building the partnerships and public support needed to create lasting change.
What you'll be doing
- Leading the charity's planning and infrastructure campaigning strategy and delivery at a national level.
- Working across the charity's network to develop impactful campaigns and projects that influence policy, public debate and grow supporter engagement.
- Building external relationships and partnerships with policymakers, politicians, campaign partners, and sector stakeholders to create opportunities for impact.
- Collaborating with fundraising colleagues to develop projects and funding opportunities that demonstrate solutions and strengthen campaigning objectives.
- Acting as a senior spokesperson for the charity in influential external forums, in the media and leading coalition work.
- Leading and developing team members and helping create a collaborative, high-performing culture.
To apply, please submit a CV and cover letter, which outlines your skills, experience and achievements that are relevant to the role.

We have an exciting opportunity for an emerging lawyer with exceptional writing and communication skills and a passion for fighting corruption and injustice, to join our small and growing team as a Legal Fellow.
This one-year fellowship offers a unique springboard for an aspiring barrister or solicitor through its combination of practical legal experience (encompassing commercial, public and criminal litigation) and specialist policy exposure in the fields of economic crime and corruption.
Who we are
Spotlight on Corruption is a UK-based charity, founded in September 2019, that shines a light on the UK’s role in corruption at home and abroad. We want to see a society with strong, transparent and accountable institutions which ensure corruption is not tolerated and democracy flourishes both in the UK and globally.
We track how the UK is implementing its anti-corruption laws and monitor the effectiveness of anti-corruption enforcement in the UK. We build the evidence base for reform through our unique court monitoring programme as well as investigative research and extensive engagement with experts and frontline practitioners. The successes of our legal work include intervening in a major Court of Appeal case to safeguard the UK’s anti-money laundering regime, supporting a challenge to reveal the identity of a major political donor in a dirty money case, and winning the right to publish the jury bundle in a high-profile trial about a corrupt arms deal.
Acting as policy entrepreneurs, we develop innovative and pragmatic solutions and disseminate our work through hard-hitting reports and briefings to inform decision-makers and the general public. We follow through with dogged advocacy, working in a highly collaborative manner to build consensus for reform.
What we are looking for
We are looking for a recent law graduate or early career professional with an outstanding eye for detail, strong analytical and research skills, and demonstrable experience in writing and communicating persuasively.

Working closely with the Deputy Director, you will also engage with a range of lawyers who advise Spotlight on strategic litigation opportunities. In the course of this work, you will help build our relationships with the legal sector as well as strengthen our relationships with law enforcement agencies, civil servants, journalists, and civil society partners, particularly in the Global South.
Drawing on your close monitoring of court cases and engagement with law enforcement agencies, legal practitioners and other experts, you will contribute evidence-based research, briefings, blogs and commentary on core areas of our work. This will require forensic attention to detail, strong quantitative and qualitative research skills, and a flair for communicating complex issues in a compelling and accessible way.
You will be confident working with complex legal materials and following court proceedings while showing enthusiastic, creative and strategic engagement with the broader policy issues arising from our casework. You will feel comfortable drafting briefings to inform parliamentarians and influence decision-makers as well as contributing blogs and rapid-response social media commentary on key developments to advance Spotlight’s key messages.
The successful applicant must be London based in order to attend court hearings and regular team meetings.
