Our Pay Structure

We are proud to have an open and transparent pay structure. It is governed by a 3:1 pay ratio between the highest-paid member of staff and the lowest-paid member of staff. The precise current ratio between highest and lowest paid is 2.68:1.

This system exists not only with a view to upholding equality within Reprieve but also as part of our commitment to holding the money we raise in trust for those we represent. In 2022, for every £1 we raised in income, 89.2p was spent on our charitable activities. Our services come at no cost to the individuals we assist, who are often denied the justice they deserve as a direct consequence of their limited financial means.

We are proud of the diversity of our staff and we particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups.
