This is an opportunity to work with a small, dynamic and forward thinking organisation that is not afraid of change or challenge!

We are particularly interested to hear from you if you are experienced in Human Resources, Financial Management or IT however, even if you aren’t a specialist in any of these areas, but have the energy and passion to get involved, we still want to hear from you.

We’re Footsteps Counselling & Care.  We are a charitable organisation offering free, professional counselling to anyone in Gloucestershire affected by pregnancy-related issues or the loss of a baby. We’ve only been operating for six years but have really made a difference for many people who needed help that wasn’t there before.  Footsteps Counselling & Care does not receive any government or NHS funding and we rely on our charity shop and our own fundraising to continue providing services for those that need it.  And we know that need is great, and we want to be able to grow to meet that need. Do you know that a quarter of women will suffer a miscarriage during their lifetime?

We’re proud of what we have done so far but we know with a stronger team of trustees we could achieve even more.

At RightsInfo, we use the values of human rights to heal our divided society. We educate and inspire people using video, online news and social media. We use real people’s stories and real cases to inspire and provoke. People have picked sides, minds are closed. We’re here to try and change that, to inspire people to think again about human rights; to open their minds to another point of view, switch them on to something new, or remember what human rights really stand for.

We do it because underneath all the division, the tension and the disagreement we believe that there is more that connects us than divides us. And we know that it’s exactly this sentiment that underpins the principles of human rights laws.

Since RightsInfo was established four years ago, we have built an audience of hundreds of thousands through ground-breaking online resources and storytelling. We have produced multi-award-winning animations, infographics and documentaries. We run the UK’s only dedicated human rights news service.

We have a fantastic team of six, led by CEO Alex Feis Bryce, and an experienced Board of Trustees, chaired by human rights barrister and RightsInfo founder, Adam Wagner.
