Chief Executive

Lead our work to protect the welfare and human rights of British citizens detained abroad as our new CEO. Prisoners Abroad is a UK-based charity providing humanitarian aid, advice and emotional support to people affected by overseas imprisonment. We assist British citizens during their imprisonment, when they return to the UK and need access to resettlement support, and we also help their family and friends navigate their way through this traumatic experience. Now in our 48th year, and a year into our latest strategy, we continue to evolve our vital welfare, health, human rights and resettlement services with insights from those supported on the frontline, while building our capacity through new statutory and voluntary funding and delivery partnerships. Our new CEO joins at this critical moment, where demand for our services is growing and our ambition remains high. You should bring strategic leadership experience from a service focused organisation as well as working knowledge of criminal justice, welfare or human rights focused work. You will be a compelling advocate for our work while supporting our team to secure innovative new partnerships and funding that build our capacity through smart collaboration.
