Jobs in Greater London

Haringey Migrant Support Centre (HMSC) is a community-based organisation, with over a decade of experience supporting migrants in Haringey and across Greater London. We provide free and professional advice, advocacy, referrals and signposting on issues relating to immigration, housing and welfare to over 500 people a year. Our in-depth casework model supports individuals to regularise their immigration status and deal with other interconnecting problems including housing, homelessness, destitution, welfare and health issues.

Alongside our advice work, HMSC organises a regular community space, which offers activities, information workshops, food and a chance to connect with others in a warm place. HMSC is part of a wider movement for change in the housing and immigration systems and we undertake policy and partnerships work contributing to this. 

About the Role

HMSC is launching a new project to support asylum seekers in Haringey. We will be working closely with the council’s Resettlement Team to improve asylum seekers’ access to the information and advice that they need to move forward with their asylum case, access suitable accommodation and receive appropriate support.

Alongside this we will also work closely with the resettlement team to equip key council staff with knowledge and information on the asylum process and related support through second-tier advice and training to ensure the council can holistically support asylum seekers in the borough through its own systems.

HMSC is seeking a Project & Casework Coordinator to launch and deliver this project, working alongside colleagues in the Resettlement Team. You will work across HMSC’s office, Resettlement Team locations (including Welcome hubs and hotels) and in the community. You will be instrumental in strengthening practice in the way asylum seekers are supported in the borough, while working closely with asylum seekers on their cases, providing second-tier advice and delivering training and information sessions.

Who we are looking for

The role would suit someone with excellent organisational and communication skills, a demonstrably strong interest in access to justice for migrants, and with a desire to build a career in the asylum advice / casework sector. The ideal candidate will feel enthused by the challenge of being part of establishing a new project, working collaboratively in a committed and friendly team.

You should be experienced in working closely with migrants. As this is a new project, the postholder will play a key role in the structuring, planning, initial delivery and review of the project against objectives and will hold and maintain the relationship with the project partner. A background in project management and/or partnership working would therefore be beneficial. 

If you do not have IAA (formerly OISC) Level 1 Asylum and Protection, you must be willing to obtain this (with support) immediately upon commencing work. You must also work towards IAA Level 2 (with support) within 12 months.

Working for HMSC

HMSC places a high value on staff wellbeing, including offering clinical supervision to frontline staff and supportive line management arrangements which encourage staff to maintain a healthy work life balance. Staff terms and conditions include a supportive probationary period, contractual sick pay scheme, Pension scheme, and generous leave of absence allowances. Please contact us for any more specific details on terms and conditions that you would like to know in advance of applying.

We’re seeking a Head of Finance to join our fantastic Finance team! 

This is an exciting role to help us continue the transformation of our finance function and financial understanding across the charity. 

You will be elevating our financial reporting and business planning to ensure we’re proactive and forward-looking in our approach.

• You will have a continuous improvement mindset, with the drive to make a difference, and a proven track record of bringing people on a finance transformation journey.  
• You are also a strong technical accountant, who is solution focused and sufficiently self-motivated to learn and improve systems and processes. 

If this sounds like you – we’d love to hear from you!

About working for us 

This is a fast-paced and growing organisation that is really committed to making a difference. Being a part of our team is being part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact.

We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance, and you will feel that your contribution is valued and matters. 

About us  

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values: 

• Courageous
• Collaborative 
• Compassion

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values. 

At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices. 

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector. 

Safeguarding

PCUK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support and serve. We make sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective, and compassionate care.
