Reprieve is a licensed visa sponsor, but we are not in a position to sponsor visas (including charity worker visas) for the majority of roles. If we can accept applications from applicants who require a visa for a specific role this will be clearly stated on this page and in the job description.
We are proud to have an open and transparent pay structure. We strongly welcome applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Other Opportunities
There are many ways to become involved in Reprieve’s work. You can support our campaigns, make a donation, carry out a placement through a sponsoring institution, or work for Reprieve. Whatever you choose to do, your contribution is valued by us.
We are proud of our diversity and we want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to contribute to our work. With that goal in mind, we do not have unpaid volunteer roles because we recognise that not everyone is in a position to give their time for free. Instead, we are very lucky to have the support of universities who fund placements and 12-month fellowships, law firms and corporate partners who offer their staff on secondments, and charitable trusts who fund internships both in the UK and abroad.
Seasonal Placements
We are pleased to accept applications for seasonal fellowships from those funded by their university or other public interest bodies, with funding disbursed directly to the fellow. We accept applications for placements on academic credit within the school year, and not over the summer when applicants must be externally funded. We cannot consider applicants who wish to self-fund their placements.
Applicants should be available to work full-time for Reprieve for at least 8 weeks. We are pleased to accept applications for the summer of 2025.
Those interested in applying should carefully read our advert and applicant information. Applications can be submitted to [email protected] following the process outlined in the advert. Please note that we are unable to consider applications from those who do not meet the requirements outlined above and provide the information requested. For any questions please email [email protected]
