Liberty is a high-profile campaigning organisation that has been fighting for human rights for over eighty years. Liberty works on a diverse array of human rights issues, including migrants’ rights, technology and digital rights, privacy, anti-discrimination, protest, free speech, policing, counter-terrorism, criminalisation of poverty, rule of law and constitutional issues, and access to justice. We are a uniquely multi-disciplinary team, working to achieve change through a powerful combination of lobbying, strategic litigation, public campaigning, journalism and member activism. Liberty has been standing up for people and holding the powerful to account since 1934, and it is needed now more than ever.

Your potential to learn and grow in the role is important to us, so even if you don’t have all of what we are asking for, we want to hear from you. We also welcome applications from people who are interested in job-sharing or other flexible working arrangements.
