Equal Opportunities
Beyond Equality strives to be an inclusive employer. We want to provide a working environment, and a recruitment and hiring process, that is welcoming, accessible and supportive for everybody - including and especially those who are marginalised in society. With this in mind, we’ve worked to create an application and recruitment process that is as straightforward and transparent as possible.
We welcome applicants with non-traditional educational backgrounds. If you are not sure whether you are qualified or experienced enough for a role, but you think you meet the person specification, we encourage you to apply anyway.
We particularly welcome applications from people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, women, new or expectant parents/carers and disabled people.
If there is anything else we can do to make the application and/or interview process more accessible for you, we want to hear about it, and will do our best to meet your requirements.
We are a diverse organisation and we appreciate the value of lived experience. When our team members want to draw on their own lived experience to inform aspects of their work, we do our best to support them - but we’ll never expect or require you to draw on your own experiences if you don’t want to, or to do extra work on the basis of any aspect of your identity.
Safeguarding
Beyond Equality is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. Employment offers are subject to pre-employment checks including DBS, references, online checks and right to work.

Project Coordinator (0.6 FTE)
Salary: £25,000–£30,000 per year, pro rata (dependent on experience)
Contract: 6-month fixed-term contract, with a high likelihood of renewal subject to funding and performance
Hours: 22.5 hours per week (0.6 FTE), worked to a set weekly schedule agreed with the successful candidate
Location: Remote (UK-based), with occasional UK travel
Start date: February / March 2026 (flexible)
Please note: we are unable to offer visa sponsorship. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.
White Ribbon Alliance UK is recruiting a Project Coordinator to provide hands-on coordination and delivery support as the organisation enters a period of growth.
Several major pieces of work are starting at the same time, and this role exists to bring consistency, follow-through, and organisation to day-to-day activity. The focus is practical coordination rather than strategy or senior decision-making.
About the role
This is a deliberately focused, delivery-enabling role. You will help keep work moving by managing inboxes and calendars, tracking project actions and deadlines, supporting training and events, drafting internal documents and reports, and providing coordination with volunteers.
You will also support governance processes in a practical way (for example, scheduling reviews and updating documents based on agreed inputs), without owning governance decisions.
Not all areas of responsibility will be active every week. Priorities will be agreed and reviewed regularly to ensure the role remains manageable within part-time hours.
This role does not involve strategy, line management, system design, or ownership of organisational decisions.
Working pattern
Hours will be worked to a set, predictable weekly schedule, agreed with the successful candidate. We are open to different working patterns (for example, three days per week, or a mix of full and half days), provided hours are agreed in advance.
About you
You’ll be organised, reliable, and comfortable handling multiple threads at once. You’ll be confident turning meetings, notes, or recordings into clear written outputs, and trusted to handle sensitive information appropriately, including personal data.
You don’t need to have worked in this sector before, but you do need strong coordination skills, good judgement, and a calm, follow-through approach.
Why work with us
White Ribbon Alliance UK is a small, high-impact organisation working to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights, with a particular focus on maternity and perinatal care. You’ll be trusted, supported, and given space to do your job well. Subject to performance and funding, there is potential for the role to continue beyond the initial contract period.
How to apply
Please read the full job description and person specification and follow the application instructions on CharityJob.
Alongside your CV, please submit a short personal statement (no more than 1–2 pages).
This statement should not repeat your CV or restate the job description. Instead, we are interested in hearing about you.
In particular, please tell us:
Why you want to work with White Ribbon Alliance UK.
What draws you to human rights and social justice work, and how this shows up in your values or experience.
What diversity means to you, and how you approach working in inclusive and equitable ways.
Why this role, at this point, is a good fit for you.
We are less interested in polished language and more interested in clarity, honesty, and reflection. There is no single “right” answer — we want to understand your perspective and motivations.
