About Migrateful

Migrateful is an award-winning, innovative social enterprise and registered charity founded in 2017. Migrateful’s mission is to provide training, employment, and a supportive community for refugees and migrants (‘our chefs’) facing multiple challenges in the UK.

Our chefs, often referred to us due to the struggles they face in adapting to UK society, come from diverse backgrounds shaped by experiences of modern-day slavery, gender-based violence, and fleeing war-torn countries.

We work holistically with our chefs, offering training to enable them to teach their own cookery classes and supporting them to find employment. After completing our training programme to become a Migrateful cookery class teacher, our chefs go on to lead cookery classes with members of the public and corporate groups.

The cookery classes not only provide ideal conditions for learning English and building confidence but also encourage interaction with the wider community and help dispel misconceptions about migrants. Our goal is to promote integration by enabling refugees and asylum seekers to become economically independent and engage meaningfully with their community.

Since it started in 2017, Migrateful has supported 110 migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to teach over 5,000 cookery classes attended by more than 55,000 participants. This amounts to 30,000 hours of meaningful work experience provided to our chefs.

Migrateful in Bristol

Migrateful’s founder, Jess Thompson, grew up in Bristol. The first Migrateful class with paying participants took place in 2017 at Bakesmiths on Whiteladies Road.

Jess’s Argentinian friend, José, who was struggling with his immigration status at the time, taught the class, which was a great success. Jess then continued to develop the Migrateful model in London and was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List and British Entrepreneur of the Year Award in recognition of her achievement in starting Migrateful.

In 2020, Migrateful partnered with Coexist Community Kitchen in Easton to deliver our chef training programme in Bristol, and Migrateful classes have been running in Bristol ever since. This is an especially exciting time to join the team and lead our Bristol branch as we enter the next stage of growth, with plans to open our very own cookery school in September. We are currently running an average of two cookery classes per week in Bristol, and when we open our cookery school in September, we plan to increase this to four cookery classes per week.

Role Overview

As the Business Development and Operations Manager (Bristol), you will spearhead the growth and day-to-day operations of Migrateful in the region. This entrepreneurial, multi-faceted role is ideal for a self-starter who thrives on strategic thinking, project management, and leading diverse teams.

You will be instrumental in delivering our theory of change and ensuring the financial sustainability and impact of our Bristol branch. This is a unique opportunity to expand Migrateful’s impact in Bristol—and enjoy some delicious food along the way!

With initiatives like this more vital than ever—especially after last summer’s unrest—this is your chance to use your skills to support refugees and asylum seekers and promote peaceful community relations in Bristol.

JOB OVERVIEW

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a real difference, every day, to people from all walks of life? This is an exciting opportunity for someone working in the volunteering or community sector to join the Brent Irish Advisory Service (BIAS) as Volunteer Manager and help take our successful volunteer project to the next level.

BIAS’s volunteer project, funded through a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, provides meaningful opportunities for people to get involved in BIAS’s work in a number of different ways. Volunteers can help out at our active ageing clubs, or work on administrative projects and other office-based tasks to help them build up their professional skills. In 2023 we also launched a successful ‘Be-A-Friend’ scheme, which aims to connect volunteers with older people who live on their own. Volunteers will drop in regularly for a cup of tea and a chat, providing friendship and companionship to those experiencing loneliness and isolation. BIAS’s volunteer project is currently based in Brent, but it will potentially be rolled out into Haringey in future years.

We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic and empathetic person to take the lead on managing and growing our volunteer project. You will be responsible for all aspects of the project, including volunteer recruitment and induction, service-user relations, safeguarding and partnership development. You will also work with the Operations Manager on forward planning, delivery monitoring, promotion and reporting.

You will need to have strong people skills and the ability to build good working relationships with colleagues, volunteers, service users and partners, along with excellent organisational skills and the ability to work independently and take initiative. Previous experience of working with volunteers or running community projects would be an asset. If you work in a related field and are looking for a new challenge, please consider applying as we are willing to consider appointing the right candidate as a training and development role.

KEY WORK AREAS AND MAIN DUTIES

• Working with the Operations Manager to develop and deliver BIAS’s volunteer project.
• Line-managing the Befriending Coordinator and supervising the successful delivery and expansion of the Be-A-Friend scheme.
• Managing volunteer recruitment, interviewing candidates and matching them with appropriate roles.
• Supporting, developing and retaining our current team of volunteers.
• Managing volunteer training needs, ensuring that all necessary safeguarding, health-and-safety and data-protection requirements are met.
• Working closely with colleagues and external organisations to develop working partnerships and explore collaboration opportunities, e.g. intergenerational volunteering projects.
• Organising twice-yearly volunteer social events.
• Promoting and raising public awareness of both BIAS’s volunteering opportunities and the wider importance of volunteering.
• Evaluating and improving the volunteering process and experience.
• Maintaining clear records of volunteer work in BIAS’s client management system.
• Drafting reports and case studies to demonstrate the project’s progress and value.
• Maintaining an awareness of policy changes and best practices in volunteering.

These are the basic duties required of the Volunteer Manager. However, it is necessary for all staff to be flexible and you may be required from time to time to perform other reasonable duties which are required for the efficient running of the organisation. We will also offer training opportunities to support your career development.

Candidates must be eligible to work in the UK. This role will be based primarily in our offices in Willesden (Brent), with travel throughout the borough and potentially some future outreach work in Haringey borough. There may be some options for flexible working following probation (one to two days per week).
