PILA Bulletin: 24 February 2021
Participation and the Practice of Rights (PPR) is recruiting a Director.
About PPR
PPR is an NGO at the centre of one of the most dynamic social movements across Ireland. Since 2006 they have supported marginalised communities to use human rights to achieve practical change across a range of social and economic rights issues: housing and accommodation, mental health, education, income and those experiencing digital inequality. Their approach has inspired other movements across Britain and Europe and they are part of a growing international activist network.
PPR promotes the realisation of human rights by building power and challenging systems that perpetuate inequality through disempowerment and exclusion. They harness their organising, policy and communications expertise - and their growing activist network - to support communities who have been marginalised by laws, policies, public authorities or private interests. They fight to win.
PPR’s highly adaptive approach to organisational development enabled them to respond strategically to COVID-19– respecting lockdown and social distancing while developing new and effective digital strategies which have strengthened their grassroots campaigns.
About the Role
They are seeking a Director to build on these strong foundations.
The Director will lead PPR’s Senior Management Team (SMT) in providing strategic leadership to drive organisational development, funding strategies and governance while ensuring adherence to the mission, vision and values of the organisation at all times.
The Director will fulfil responsibilities required to steward PPR; proactively safeguarding their internal culture of flexibility, openness and learning by doing while ensuring that the marginalised communities they organise with are effectively supported by their highly skilled, experienced and valued staff team.
