ALT Purpose of the post The Howard League for Penal Reform is the world’s oldest penal reform charity, with a proven record of delivering change. Our successful campaigns have contributed to the abolition of capital punishment, an end to the ban on sending books to prisoners and a massive reduction in arrests of children. Our legal team provides expert advice and support to children and young people in prison. We want to do even more, so we are looking for a Policy Manager who can help us achieve our goals of less crime, safer communities and fewer people in prison. The Policy Manager will have legal policy expertise, as the role will involve influencing a range of stakeholders on sentencing policy and working and lobbying on draft legislation. The role will also involve developing an expertise in prisons policy and practice across a broad range of activity, and line managing a policy officer, currently working on a project on racial disparities in youth justice.
