We are pleased to be able to offer the opportunity for a barrister interested in capital sentencing and criminal justice development to join Evolve’s work on a six month grant-supported placement in Kampala, Uganda.
This position would involve overseeing the progression of several of Evolve’s projects in-country, and managing Evolve’s Senior and Junior Project Coordinators on the ground. The placement provides an opportunity to gain hands-on experience of international criminal justice development, NGO project management, and grant management.

Successful candidates will be legally qualified with an established interest in criminal law and/or capital punishment and human rights, and will be able to demonstrate extra-curricular experience of working within, for, and in furtherance of charitable entities. The role will involve maintaining relationships with senior members of the Ugandan criminal justice system and judiciary, a high degree of organisation and initiative, management skills, and an ability to work to a high standard autonomously.
The kinds of projects which will be overseen include research into sentencing trends; technical legal support in capital appeals; and advocacy and engagement for policy change in a variety of criminal legal areas.
The grant amount currently contemplated is £7500 subject to finalisation. This will be intended to cover flights (if from the UK) accommodation and subsistence. In-country work related travel and reasonable work-related expenses such as photocopying and printing will be provided/reimbursed separately.
We ask prospective candidates to email Evolve a copy of a CV to contact@evolvefila.org and a covering letter addressed to the Management Committee, explaining why they would be suited to the role.
