We are not currently recruiting for any roles. New vacancies will be posted here so please check back soon.
We are proud to have an open and transparent pay structure. It is governed by a principle that the highest-paid member of staff will be paid no more than double the lowest-paid member of staff. We strongly welcome applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Other opportunities
There are many ways to become involved in our work. You can support our campaigns, make a donation, carry out a paid internship through a sponsoring institution, or work for Reprieve US 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 no longer have unpaid volunteer roles because we recognize 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 summer internships 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.
Postgraduate Fellowships
Reprieve US is pleased to offer 12 month fellowships based in Washington DC to graduating students who are able to secure external funding. Fellows typically source funding through sponsorship, law school-funds, corporate foundations and other public interest fellowships.
