Summary
REDRESS is looking to appoint a Survivor Participation Officer to support our work designing, delivering, co-ordinating, and co-producing our policy advocacy with survivors of torture based in the UK and internationally. We are seeking applications from candidates with experience of working with survivors, grassroots organising, or policy advocacy.
We are committed to amplifying the voice of survivors of torture or ill-treatment within REDRESS and the wider sector and working to ensure that people with lived experience are partners in bringing the change needed. We strongly encourage applications from candidates with lived experience, which may mean that they or their families are survivors of torture, or that they have escaped persecution.
The Survivor Participation Officer will work with individual survivors and survivor networks to facilitate co-designed advocacy campaigns aimed at the UK government and international stakeholders on key issues, deepen relationships with key stakeholders within the anti-torture movement, develop referral pathways for survivors and make referrals as necessary.
Role responsibilities: Please see our website for information on the role and requirements: https://redress.org/survivor-participation-officer-maternity-leave-cover-12-months/
First round Interviews will take place on a rolling basis and will be on-line.
Final round interview will take place on 17 December 2025 and will be in-person at our office in London.

A cover letter of no more than one page explaining (a) why you would like to work for REDRESS, (b) how you fulfil the personal specification for the role, and (c) how you will contribute to the diversity of REDRESS, and

We keep the conclusions of the analysis for our records, and the underlying data is destroyed three months after the recruitment closes.
