Liberty and its supporters have been a force for fairness, dignity and respect in our society for more than 90 years. Now, at this crucial turning point in British political history, we’re looking for an experienced and motivated Individual Giving Officer to play a key role in growing Liberty’s supporter base and delivering an excellent supporter experience, to ensure that, together, we are strong enough to face the challenges ahead.

Joining our Communications and Engagement Team, you’ll be part of a passionate team that raises around £1 million annually from individual donations and membership contributions – income that drives Liberty’s public campaigning, legal work and investigative journalism.

This is an exciting moment to join us as we embed a new individual giving strategy and explore new and existing channels to strengthen our fundraising. You’ll support the recruitment of new supporters (particularly through digital channels), develop data‑driven supporter journeys, and ensure our members and donors feel informed, valued and connected to Liberty’s impact. You will also lead on producing supporter materials, work closely with colleagues across the organisation, and act as the main point of contact for our supporters.

If you’re a collaborative fundraiser with excellent communication skills, confident using fundraising databases and systems, and passionate about human rights, we would love you to help shape the next chapter of Liberty’s individual giving programme.

Liberty offers flexible working and is committed to employee development. We aim to encourage people from all backgrounds to work with us and are particularly interested in hearing from people from minority backgrounds and all socio-economic sections of society. Liberty supports hybrid working, with a minimum office attendance two days per week in the Westminster office.

Liberty is looking for a skilled manager with strong political instincts to step into the exciting role of Interim Head of Policy & Campaigns for a period of twelve months. We will be implementing a bold new strategy in a rapidly changing external environment, where existential threats to human rights and civil liberties give our work a renewed sense of urgency. This is an opportunity to help deliver high-impact campaigns that seek to influence policy at national level. You will be well supported by a highly skilled peer group and senior leadership and will lead a team of four Policy & Campaigns Officers to deliver innovative, politically insightful campaigns.

The Interim Head of Policy & Campaigns will play a key role in successfully implementing parts of Liberty’s new strategy. The role will oversee the development and implementation of Liberty’s policy and campaigning priorities: undertaking high quality research, influencing decision makers, building coalitions, producing policy and campaign materials, providing policy input to strategic litigation, and building public and political support for Liberty’s work.

We are seeking someone with strong political influencing experience who holds Liberty’s values and ambitions close to their heart, as we work to ensure everyone in the United Kingdom is treated fairly, with dignity and respect. This is a key role in securing the long-term policy change needed to protect the human rights and civil liberties of everyone who lives in the UK.

We are looking for a strategic leader who brings a collaborative approach to their work. You will have policy and research experience in human rights, or a related field such as the equality sector or social welfare sector. You will have a strong understanding of how to secure policy change in challenging political environments.

You will have a strong commitment to Liberty’s anti-oppression values and strategy.

Liberty fully embraces flexible working and is committed to employee development. We aim to encourage people from all backgrounds to work with us and are particularly interested in hearing from people from minority backgrounds and all socio-economic sections of society. Liberty supports hybrid working, with a minimum of two days per week in the Westminster office.

APPLICATION FORM GUIDANCE

  • You will score higher, if you are able to refer to as many of the essential and desirable criteria as possible. A tip for doing this is to use the criteria as headings in your personal statement.
  • Give strong examples – you can see how applications are scored at the bottom of the application form.
    Using the STAR method can help when evidencing competencies and giving examples:
    Situation: the situation you had to deal with
    Task: the task you were given to do
    Action: the action you took
    Result: what happened as a result of your action and what you learned from the experience.
  • For your application to standout, spend time researching Liberty and the work we do  (our website is a great place to start). Draw meaningful connections with your own motivations, work experience and personal experience.
  • Be concise, keep your answers clear and to the point and avoid long sentences. Bullet points can sometimes work well.
  • Try to use the full word count (but do not exceed it).
  • Ensure your application is proofread for errors and set out neatly.
  • Present your application clearly and logically. Follow the Example Application Form for layout tips.

 

 

POSITIVE ACTION INTERVIEW SCHEME

Liberty are committed to pursuing a diverse and inclusive workforce and are trialling a Positive Action approach to our recruitment and selection process. Positive Action allows employers to take action to minimise disadvantages that groups with particular protected characteristics face in the workforce.

The Positive Action Interview Scheme will expand on our commitments as a Disability Confident Employer to offer an interview to an applicant who declares they have a disability and meets the minimum requirement.

Liberty’s Scheme is applicable to individuals who identify as either:

  •  Disabled
  • A member of the Global Majority (people from Black, Asian, Mixed, and other ethnic groups who often racialised as ‘ethnic minorities’)
  • A member of the LGBTQ+ community

&

  • Scores above the median score for the role

You can take part in the Positive Action Interview Scheme by selecting that you are a member of one of these communities on your application and agreeing to participate.

This means that if you complete your application, and have opted into the interview scheme and your application scores above the median score for that role, you will still be considered for an interview even if you were not in the pool of top scoring candidates that would otherwise go forward.

The information you share by participating in the scheme is not shared with Hiring Managers at the shortlisting stage, and details of the group(s) in which candidates identify will not be shared;however applicants are made aware that is it not possible to prevent those involved in the shortlisting process from being able to identify candidates who have been offered an interview specifically under the scheme.

If we receive over 25 applications for the role, we reserve the right to limit the number of interview spaces available to those who take part in the scheme.

The scheme will not affect how we shortlist for the original interview spaces which is based on the highest scores in the pool. The extra interview space offered as part of the Positive Action Interview Scheme will be in addition and so will not put any other applicant outside of the scheme at a disadvantage.
