Policy Officer

Challenge the systemic barriers, stigma and discrimination faced by people with criminal records.

We have an exciting opportunity for an exceptional individual with proven experience and potential to join our policy and advocacy team. Working across a number of different policy strands, you will play an important role in challenging the systemic barriers, stigma and discrimination faced by people with criminal records.

The role includes

  • Developing Unlock’s policy positions and voice
  • Ensuring that we are listening and responding to the challenges facing people with criminal records
  • Developing a strong evidence-base for our recommendations for change

Working at Unlock is more than just a job. We’re a small but ambitious team of passionate and committed people, dedicated to improving the lives of people with criminal records.

We warmly welcome applications from all suitably skilled people regardless of background. Applications from candidates who are from racialised communities, have a disability or who are from a less privileged background, are particularly encouraged.

We are especially keen to appoint people who have themselves met with and overcome the disadvantages of having a criminal record. A criminal record is not a requirement for this role, nor is it a bar.
