Are you as determined as we are to reduce the harm caused by immigration detention and to ultimately end it?
You will be joining an organisation that is making a life-changing difference to hundreds of vulnerable clients in detention each year, as well working to reduce the harm caused by the toxic detention regime with its near-routine levels of inhuman and degrading treatment.
As Head of Advocacy, you will lead the development and delivery of Medical Justice’s advocacy programme, drawing on our evidence of the harm caused by immigration detention, to secure lasting change through combinations of research, policy, parliamentary, and media work, as well as contribute to strategic litigation.
Reporting directly to the Director, you will lead our experienced advocacy team, help develop our strategic objectives and shape our emerging Senior Management Team.
Medical Justice has an organisational commitment to improving the representation of people with lived experience at all levels of organisation, especially leadership roles. We are keen to look beyond the traditional review of your qualifications and work experience to what relevant knowledge and skills you may have acquired through your life experience. Medical Justice is a member of the Experts by Experience Employment Network so candidates with lived experience can receive its support for our jobs.
Salary : £38,162 per annum
Working hours : Full time.
Responsible for : Line-management of the Parliamentary & Research Analyst and the Researcher
Location : Based at the Medical Justice office in London, with flexibility to work at home up to 3 days a week
