We have a long and proud history of providing immigration advice to the Latin American community and has extensive experience with the varied and complex needs that arise from the UK's ever-changing immigration system. Our Immigration Advice Programme is designed to meet these needs through the provision of specialist one-to-one advice and casework services, delivered in Spanish and Portuguese, as well as identifying and addressing policy changes and how they impact our community.
Our service is accredited by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) and the Advice Quality Standard (AQS). In a sector where immigration advice is becoming increasingly inaccessible, IRMO maintains its commitment to providing trusted, expert advice and representation to our service users and helping them build skills to navigate the system wherever possible.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced immigration adviser to lead our dynamic immigration advice team and help shape the future of the programme as part of the senior management team at a fast-growing charity in London. As IRMO's Immigration Advice Programme Manager, you will bring your expertise and experience together to organise, implement and improve our range of immigration services to offer the maximum benefit for our community, in both the short and long term. You will also play an important role in the development and implementation of organisation-wide processes, as well as managing our Sponsorship Management System.
Your responsibilities will include implementing and progressing the programme's overarching strategy; the ongoing development and training of team members; representing IRMO across broader advice networks; and advising on organisational responsibilities related to immigration. You will also have the chance to develop new, cross-over skills beyond advice provision.
The ideal candidate will be up-to-date on all relevant policy changes and be able to proactively apply the available resources to ensure that our community has access to the information and services they require. They will have the skills to nurture existing partnerships while developing new strategic connections that contribute to the success of the programme and organisation. This will include working closely with law centres and other legal stakeholders to maximise benefits for our service users. They will also bring an ability to support and motivate team members to work to their full potential, an excellent understanding of the needs of Latin Americans living in the UK, and a genuine passion for progressing the rights and welfare of migrants and refugees.
Key Experience and Qualifications for the Role
We are seeking a highly qualified Registered Immigration Adviser at OISC Level 2 or 3 with at least two years of recent and continuous relevant experience in immigration and asylum casework. The ideal candidate will also have a minimum of three years of experience managing programmes or projects, particularly in advice and community support services.
The role requires a proven track record in delivering against targets and demonstrated experience in line managing people in a variety of roles, supporting staff to work to their full potential. The candidate should have experience in liaising with partner organisations and other stakeholders. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Spanish and/or Portuguese are essential, along with strong interpersonal skills to build rapport, inspire self-confidence, and draw out people's strengths.

About YSS
We are a charity that helps people to help themselves, and we’ve been doing so for more than thirty years. There are thousands of people in our communities who struggle with life and face what seem to be insurmountable barriers - they are why we exist. We provide a wide variety of community-based support for people and are often described as the ‘glue’ between those at risk of social isolation and the wider mainstream society.
We run a diverse range of services working with 7- to 70-year-olds but our aim is always the same – to help people to break through barriers and to achieve their potential. Our website contains further information about YSS and all our projects and services.
Background to the role
The MORSE Youth service is a new pilot project between YSS and West Mercia Youth Offending Service (WMYJS). The service will provide 1-1 support for children and young people under the age of 18 who have committed driving offences across West Mercia. Children will be referred to a 12-week behaviour change programme and will receive weekly holistic support focused on improving their resilience to peer pressure, strengthening positive relationships and developing a future action plan. This innovative pilot service aims to reduce the number of driving offences committed by under 18s and in turn reduce the number of collisions, injuries and fatalities.
Role Details
Your role will principally work with children and young people under the age of 18 who are committing driving offences and have been referred from the Youth Justice team. You will provide 12-weeks support per service user, offering a combination of face to face and remote support. You will deliver support across the whole of Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin or Worcestershire and Hereforeshire and your primary base will be determined by the area closest to where you reside. There will be an expectation to work from Youth Justice Offices at agreed intervals. Mileage costs will be paid from your base to other offices. There is an expectation for the team to also support delivery in other areas, within our service, according to need.
Key Responsibilities
• Manage a caseload of individuals offering practical and emotional support and delivering direct planned work with children/young people on a one-to-one basis, using a variety of interventions to achieve better outcomes and reduce re-offending behaviour.
• Accept referrals; undertake relevant assessments and develop tailor made outcome focused support plans including the delivery of the Young Driver Safety Programme.
• Work in a motivational and inspirational way to engage with children/young people to reduce impulsive behaviours, increase long term planning and develop positive future outcomes.
• Actively engage with service users to obtain feedback around decisions that affect them. • Commit to working in partnership with WMYJS and other agencies/organisations.
• Attend internal/external meetings as required and act as a lead professional where appropriate.
• Ensure children/young people are actively involved in decision making.
• Attend local stakeholder meetings, as well as local multiagency events to promote YSS and raise the profile of the MORSE Youth service.
• Undertake project self-administration including maintaining database records, recording and monitoring performance targets and assisting in providing data for monthly and quarterly reports
• Participate constructively in team meetings and supervision with the line manager as well as undertaking appropriate training as required and appropriate.
• Risk assess and take the necessary actions in respect of any activities/engagement undertaken with service users including personal safety, lone-working and safeguarding.
• Understand professional boundaries and ensure that your role and remit is made clear to all service users you engage with.
• Meet individual performance targets and contribute towards meeting team performance targets in respect of the service. • Deliver a trauma informed service that ensures the needs of the service user is at the heart of “everything we do”. Embed the principles of restorative practice and motivational interviewing techniques into all aspects of service delivery.
• Uphold the vision, values, and profile of YSS both internally and externally.
• Collate data in accordance with GDPR to improve systems and services beyond the life of the project.
• Develop effective working relationships with colleagues within YSS and throughout Worcestershire and Herefordshire to provide an integrated inter-agency response to children and young people.
Notes
• It is expected that weekend and evening work will be a feature of the role from time to time and be a requirement of the post holder.
• There will be regular travel across Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin or Worcestershire & Herefordshire and therefore access to a car or the ability to travel independently across the regions is essential.
• YSS value people as individuals with diverse opinions, cultures, lifestyles and circumstances. We are committed to building a culturally diverse team and therefore encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates to help us reflect our world and the communities we work alongside.
• Our organisation follows Safer Recruitment principles and guidelines for all posts where contact with children and/or adults at risk is possible – this includes a full application process, interviewing candidates, taking up and verifying two satisfactory references, verifying qualifications, identify checks and an enhanced (Disclosure and Barring Service) DBS check.
• You must have the right to live and work in the UK to be considered for this role.
