Vacancies at Protect

Protect is the UK’s whistleblowing charity. We aim to stop harm by encouraging safe whistleblowing. Our free, confidential Advice Line supports thousands of whistleblowers each year who have seen malpractice, risk or wrongdoing in the workplace.

We also work with organisations supporting, advising and training teams on improving their speak up arrangements. Our work is cross sector, but we do a lot of work financial services and the health care sector. Protect also conducts research, informs public policy and campaigns for better legal protection of whistleblowers.

Protect was the first whistleblowing charity in the UK to help whistleblowers. Since 1993, when we formed, we have handled 50,000 cases, and our Advice Line supports more than 3,000 whistleblowers each year.
