Until then, we seek to minimise its impact by supporting people to make the ‘change of conditions’ (CoC) application to access public funds.

TUP is a small organisation that has achieved systemic impact through the clear strategic focus of our casework. As the number of people affected by NRPF continues to grow, we are looking to take our casework service to the next level so that we can support more individual applicants and strengthen our strategic impact.

You will supervise our dedicated team in London, overseeing their professional development and personal wellbeing.  You will also focus on the strategic impact of our project, working closely with our Strategic Casework Lead and external partners to achieve systems change through litigation and other channels.
