Business Support Executive

• Employment: Permanent
• Location: Hybrid, with the expectation of 2 days per week in our office (Bethnal Green, London).
• Salary: £30,000 (to be pro-rata’d depending on number of days)

We are searching for a Business Support Executive who is enthusiastic to work within our small but driven team. The Business Support team plays a key role in the charity, as our work with employers, helping them improve their frameworks and cultures, also creates safer work environments for whistleblowers, and supports our whole operation financially.

The role is varied and will help you enhance your negotiation, persuasion, organisation and creative skills. The vacancy would suit individuals who have some sales experience, and want to develop and enhance this, applying this for a charity that has a societal impact. Crucially, we are looking for self-starters who use their initiative to contribute great ideas and succeed with their sales.

You will generate income for the charity by identifying and securing new business, and maintain strong relationships with existing members and clients in order to explore further business opportunities with them.

The role will be selling Protect’s training, consultancy and membership services to employers who want to strive towards positive speak-up cultures.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, driven, public-spirited qualified and experienced solicitor or barrister to join our expert Whistleblowing Advice Line team.

If you are keen to use your legal training for the benefit of the public interest in a part time role, we want to hear from you.  We are keen to hear applications from an experienced lawyer looking for a new and exciting area of work. Protect is a specialist organisation providing  expert advice on whistleblowing law. We are looking for an individual to help supervise our team of legal advisers and we’re looking for someone with experience in employment law, and ideally some knowledge of whistleblowing.

Protect is the UK’s leading whistleblowing charity with nearly 30 years’ subject matter expertise.  We are unique in that we are the only free, confidential legal advice line for whistleblowers. The Charity is regularly involved in the biggest legal cases concerning whistleblowing, and in recent years has intervened in most of the key Court of Appeal and Supreme Court whistleblowing cases. We also support organisations from FTSE250 to SMEs, across multiple sectors, in enhancing their whistleblowing arrangements, and we campaign for legal reform to better protect whistleblowing.

Our Advice Line delivers whistleblowing advice by phone, currently advising on more than 3,000 cases a year with a small team of 8-10 advisers. We do not litigate but we advise on a wide variety of cases, many of which are complex and involve ongoing work with callers to help them escalate their concerns and respond to possible retaliation at work. As a senior legal adviser, you will be helping individuals with practical and strategic advice, as well as advice on their individual rights, as they go through a stressful time. You will be contributing to holding organisations to account and protecting the public.
