Activism and Engagement Manager - Lived Experience (Maternity Cover)
This is an exciting opportunity to join ATLEU, a leading anti-trafficking and human rights charity. We are looking for an inclusive, creative, talented facilitator, with exceptional leadership and interpersonal skills to provide maternity cover for 12 months in the role of Activism and Engagement Manager (Lived Experience).
The project is in its early stages. A small pilot group was formed in early 2023 to ensure the project has been co produced with survivors from the earliest point. The focus of the group has been developing an initial identity and group values. They have trained as peer researchers and led interviews on an ongoing survivor-led research project and are presenting at the ATLEU 10 Year Event on their priorities for change in the current trafficking system.
The Activism and Engagement Manager (Lived Experience) will facilitate survivors of trafficking to use their experiences to support the development of ATLEU’s work and services and to improve policy and practice across the anti-trafficking and legal advice sectors. Working with new and current group members, this individual will be responsible for supporting the expansion of the group and remit of the work in Spring 2024 as the existing projects come to a close, ensuring new members are inducted and supported to engage and lead in future projects. The overall aim of the activism and engagement work is to integrate survivors at all levels within ATLEU, as well as creating a project that offers different levels of engagement, depending on the interests and capacity of individual group members.
