Join Public Law Project as our interim CEO and lead us as we enter our new strategic phase, championing justice, fairness in state decision-making and upholding the rule of law.
About us
Public law is fundamental to a fair and inclusive society. At its best, it enables the state to confront and navigate challenging contexts and make well thought through decisions for us all. Where public bodies make decisions that are unlawful, irrational, unfair or contrary to human rights, public law is there to enable people to challenge those decisions and hold the state to account.
For over 30 years, PLP has been at the forefront of public law in the UK to advance fairness in society. We have delivered impact through strategic litigation, ground-breaking research, and training for legal professionals, NGOs and public bodies. Our work includes challenging the government’s Rwanda immigration policy, contributing to the prorogation of Parliament case, supporting Windrush survivors, and scrutinising the use of automated decision-making and AI in public decision-making. We are values-led and highly collaborative, working in alliance with individuals and communities facing discrimination.
In the face of existential issues facing society, we have recently agreed a bolder strategic direction with a more aspirational vision than before. It is our intention that no matter the challenges in the years ahead, PLP will advance fairness in society through public law with determination, with authority and with others. This role will be essential to that journey.
About the role
Public Law Project (PLP) seeks an inspiring and experienced interim CEO - parental leave cover - to lead us through an exciting and pivotal period. With our new strategy launching in July 2025, we are looking for a collaborative and values-driven leader to turn vision into action, build our external profile, support a developing team, and drive sustainable funding growth. This is a critical 12-month appointment, offering the opportunity to lead one of the UK’s most respected legal charities through a period of dynamic transition.
You will guide PLP through a vital year of strategic delivery and internal consolidation. You’ll lead the rollout of our new strategy, embedding agility, accountability and purpose across the organisation, while strengthening our external profile through increased visibility and thought leadership. You’ll support a capable and committed senior team, many of them recently appointed, fostering cohesion, a strong team ethos and an inclusive, positive culture. You will also play a key role in fundraising, stewarding existing funders and identifying new opportunities to diversify and grow income.
Working closely with the Chair and Board, you’ll help ensure strong governance and deliver the stability and impact our mission requires. You’ll be supported by a values-led team and a forward-thinking board, united in their commitment to accountability, equity and justice.
What we are looking for
We’re seeking a senior leader with a proven record of translating strategic plans into operational delivery and measurable impact, leading and supporting teams through organisational growth or transition, and building strong external partnerships and raising organisational profile. You will have experience in supporting income generation and funder engagement, and of effectively working with trustees and senior stakeholders to ensure good governance and risk oversight.
A background in law or public law is not essential, but you must bring a clear appreciation of the issues and landscape in which we operate. Most importantly, you’ll bring a collaborative and empowering leadership style, a deep alignment with our values, and the ability to get the best from people during times of change.

WMUK is looking for a passionate and experienced nurse to bring their specialist haematology expertise to our small but ambitious charity team.
You’ll have a background in caring for people living with blood cancer, and ideally, experience or knowledge of supporting those with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinaemia (WM).
As the only UK charity who solely focus on WM, we have big plans to expand and evolve our support services. Reporting to our Chief Nursing Officer, and working closely with our Community Support Navigator, you will play a central role in evolving and delivering a support programme that meets the clinical and holistic needs of WM patients, their families, and friends.
A key part to this role will be managing the UK’s only dedicated support line for people affected by WM. You’ll provide guidance, emotional support, and practical help to the 4,000 people living with WM and their loved ones – helping them understand their diagnosis, prepare for appointments, and ultimately feel empowered to live well with their condition.
You will also be leading the development and launch of The WMUK Support centre, an innovative new online service, bringing WM specialists together to offer tailored, holistic support across the UK.
This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to apply your clinical expertise in a broader context, and really make the role your own. You’ll play a central part in shaping the patient experience and advancing the charity’s vision that everyone affected by WM can live longer, better-quality lives, supported every step of the way by WMUK.
As a small team, finding the right person is crucial — especially as the patient experience is at the heart of everything we do. We’re open to flexible working hours to help make that possible so please do get in touch if you would like to discuss this further.
Please provide us with a copy of your CV, and a covering letter that explains why you feel you are the best fit for this role.

About Us
The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 944,000 members, over 38,000 volunteers, 3,600 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work.
Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities.
