Hope for Justice exists to bring an end to modern slavery by preventing exploitation, rescuing victims, restoring lives and reforming society. Around the world, we are growing a movement of abolitionists who believe freedom is worth the fight. Our team works from more than 30 locations across five continents. If you’re looking to make a difference, this is the place for the you.

Hope for Justice is committed to the principles of diversity, equality and inclusion. If you feel that your skills and experience fit one of our roles then we would welcome your application regardless of your background.

There are over 40 million people living in slavery in the world today.

You can help change that.

Last year we launched our 10x strategy with the aim of delivering ten times the impact in our fight against modern slavery and human trafficking around the world.

We believe our people are the key to achieving that and the newly-created Talent Development Specialist role will be pivotal in empowering our talented and passionate employees around the world.

As Talent Development Specialist you will be instrumental in identifying the learning and development needs of our global workforce at all levels. You will bring your skills and experience as an L&D professional to develop our employee talent strategy, ensuring that everyone at Hope for Justice is prepared for their role, from onboarding to leadership development.

To be successful, you’ll need experience of developing and delivering innovative internal learning and talent development strategy whilst being able to translate this into successful operational delivery. You will have experience of working across a global organisation, with a proven track record of leading Talent Development and/or Learning and Development initiatives or functions. With this being a new role, you will need to have innovation and creativity whilst being able to lead others through change to bring them along with the new vision and strategy.

We believe we can end modern slavery in our lifetime.
