London, United Kingdom Liberty Human Rights Full time

In 2020, Liberty launched an exciting new project using the tools of investigative journalism to expose and challenge abuses of power and violations of human rights: Liberty Investigates. You can find the investigative unit’s work - mostly focused on our two key current topics of migrants’ rights and policing - at libertyinvestigates.org.uk.

We believe rigorously pursued, collaborative investigative journalism can be instrumental in challenging abuses of power, and we believe it is a time when it’s needed more than ever. The team undertakes investigations designed to hold power accountable, change narratives and spark positive change in human rights.

Our small team has worked with publishing partners including _The Times, the Guardian, the Observer, Independent, Channel 4 News, ITV News_, and local press. We have been shortlisted for the Private Eye Paul Foot Award, and made finalists two years running for the Orwell Prize for Exposing Britain’s Social Evils.

Best of all, we have seen real-world impact from the stories, such as when a judge ordered the Home Secretary to bring back to the UK an asylum seeker she had deported to France - off the back of our story about charter flight Esparto 11.

We are looking for an investigations editor with the investigative, strategic and management skills to lead this exciting project into the future.
