Role Summary:  

We are building something bold: a collective of women and organisations working side by side to end the unjust, unsafe and unfair use of remand against women in the UK.

This role is the backbone of the project. You’ll hold the threads that connect our members, supporting and championing women with lived experience of the criminal justice system, and ensure our collective voice is strong, united, and impactful.
