Our recruitment principles

Birthrights prides itself on respectful and inclusive recruitment practices, and it is important that we follow these practices in recruitment to all positions at Birthrights. These include:

  • Always letting candidates know the outcome of their application, even if they are unsuccessful.
  • Sharing information about the role and organisation in different formats (e.g. recruitment packs, videos, drop-in sessions).
  • Encouraging applications in formats that enable candidates to shine (e.g. written, video, audio).
  • Giving candidates at least a week’s notice ahead of interview.
  • Sharing interview questions with candidates in advance.
  • Providing feedback to all candidates who have been offered an interview.

We welcome applications from individuals from communities who have experienced and continue to experience multiple forms of oppression, including those from racially minoritised, LGBTQI+, Deaf and disabled, migrant and neurodiverse communities.


Associate Trainers

Our training sessions are run by two trainers – one with in-depth knowledge of human rights law and how it applies to maternity care and one who is a midwife or doctor with practical experience of delivering human rights-centred care. If you are interested in becoming a Birthrights Associate Trainer, please contact us.
