About Reprieve About Reprieve Reprieve is a leading international human rights organisation working to end the death penalty and abuses committed under the banner of national security. Founded in 1999, our mission remains critically relevant as governments worldwide increasingly adopt authoritarian tactics, expanding executive power at the expense of civil liberties. You can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins. Reprieve s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. We provide vital legal and investigative support to those facing execution and victims of rendition, torture, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killing, and citizenship stripping. Our work spans multiple jurisdictions, challenging states' most egregious human rights violations through strategic litigation, investigations, and advocacy. We support cases in courts worldwide while building the legal and political momentum necessary to consign these practices to history. Based in London with Fellows and partners globally, Reprieve operates at the intersection of law, policy, and human rights, working alongside governments, senior legal practitioners, and civil society to advance systemic change. We collaborate closely with our independent partner organisation Reprieve US. Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer, and we particularly welcome applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those with disabilities.

This is a senior management position that combines strategic vision with operational delivery. The Strategic Director will ensure Reprieve s work achieves maximum impact across multiple jurisdictions, while keeping our clients, their families, and their communities at the centre of our strategy. Reporting to the Deputy Chief Executive Officer, the Strategic Director manages the Deputy Directors and Heads of teams. They are responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of Reprieve s regional casework and thematic projects by providing the necessary resources, oversight, and strategic direction to senior staff. The Strategic Director leads the development and implementation of the organisation s strategy, manages the annual operational planning cycle, and oversees robust monitoring and evaluation processes. Working collaboratively across the senior management team, they help build Reprieve s case portfolio and support an international network of partners and fellows, ensuring the interests of clients, families, and communities remain at the heart of all activity. Key responsibilities include identifying cross-team strategic opportunities and challenges, maintaining high-level oversight of budgets, and ensuring all teams are sufficiently resourced and operate with rigorous processes for project and personnel management. As a member of the Senior Management Team, the post-holder will coordinate closely with Reprieve s Fundraising, Finance, and Operations teams to ensure casework is ethical, sustainable, well-resourced, and effectively communicated to funders and stakeholders. The Strategic Director will combine significant litigation, casework and advocacy experience with proven strategic leadership and a track record of achieving measurable impact and system change. As a small legal NGO, Reprieve punches above its weight, and this role is key to making that possible. About Reprieve About Reprieve Reprieve is a leading international human rights organisation working to end the death penalty and abuses committed under the banner of national security. Founded in 1999, our mission remains critically relevant as governments worldwide increasingly adopt authoritarian tactics, expanding executive power at the expense of civil liberties. You can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins. Reprieve s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. We provide vital legal and investigative support to those facing execution and victims of rendition, torture, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killing, and citizenship stripping. Our work spans multiple jurisdictions, challenging states' most egregious human rights violations through strategic litigation, investigations, and advocacy. We support cases in courts worldwide while building the legal and political momentum necessary to consign these practices to history. Based in London with Fellows and partners globally, Reprieve operates at the intersection of law, policy, and human rights, working alongside governments, senior legal practitioners, and civil society to advance systemic change. We collaborate closely with our independent partner organisation Reprieve US. Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer, and we particularly welcome applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those with disabilities. Reprieve is committed to fighting racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve. Terms The role is a full-time (five days per week) permanent position. The annual salary is £71,378 per annum less any required deductions for income tax and national insurance. This role is based in Reprieve s London office.

Collections Advisor Progress from collections into legal recoveries. Own cases. See outcomes. Most collections roles are volume driven. Calls, targets, next case. This isn't that. You'll manage real recovery matters inside a regulated law firm, handling cases from first contact through to legal enforcement. Instead of passing files on, you'll progress them. Instead of scripts, you'll make decisions. And you'll learn how formal recovery and litigation actually works in practice. The team is long-tenured, calm and professional. No dialler environment. No aggressive tactics. Conversations are considered, often commercial and mainly business to business. It suits someone who enjoys collections but wants to develop judgement, written communication and legal understanding rather than just increase call volume. What you'll be doing: You'll manage a caseload and work it through the full recovery journey. That includes speaking with debtors, understanding circumstances, negotiating repayment solutions and deciding when matters should escalate into legal action. You'll prepare correspondence on legal letterhead and progress files into steps such as CCJs, attachment of earnings and enforcement. Roughly half the role is phone based and half written or investigative work. Accuracy matters as much as persuasion. The environment: Small, experienced team with very low turnover Professional law firm setting, not a call centre Mixed inbound and outbound conversations B2B and professional debtor interaction Supportive leadership and structured processes Hybrid working after probation What they're looking for: Collections experience in an FCA regulated environment Comfortable speaking firmly but professionally Good written English and attention to detail Someone who wants responsibility rather than high-volume calling Legal recovery experience helps but isn't essential. They will train the right person on the legal stages. If you've done collections and feel like you're repeating the same conversations every day, this is the kind of role people move into to build a longer term career. The Curve Group is a dynamic Recruitment Services and Human Resources business with a mission to transform the working lives of the people and organisations we work with. We will retain your data for two years from the last point of contact, after which it will be securely deleted.
