Jobs in Greater London

East London Students' Union is a progressive charity that supports around 24,000 students that study at the University of East London. We are based in one of the most diverse boroughs in Europe and our membership proudly reflects the communities where we are based.

Our purpose is to support and empower our students by representing their views and providing a range of supportive services, events and activities to make university life the amazing experience it should be. Our Docklands offices were fully refurbished last year. We're currently refurbishing our common rooms and reception area. Earlier this year in Stratford, we launched an excellent new space with sitting around areas, reception, performance rooms and meetings room.

We're now working to build a students' union that champions their aspirations and can deliver what's needed to make a difference. We're excited about this and have invested in several new posts to give us the expertise needed.

If you are excited by the opportunity to help us do things differently, empower others and build a students' union that can better support our students, then we could have a role for you. If you can operate in environments where change is continual, challenges multi-faceted and where solutions require innovative thinking, you'll thrive here. You'll also need to be self-driven, able to operate with autonomy and be able to balance competing priorities.

As our advice manager, you will be responsible for managing advice provision and providing impartial advice on academic matters to students. You will be required to identify trends and produce reports using data emerging from our provision. You will use that to inform effective delivery of campaigns by student officers, other student representatives and staff. Some of these campaigns will be preventive work directed towards students, while others will be about effecting change in the University.

Diversity is one of the defining features of life at UEL, with over 180 nationalities represented in our student body. Within Newham, where we are based, over 74% of residents are from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. As we grow our staff team, we are passionate about making our teams representative of the students we support and the communities we operate in. We therefore especially welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates and other candidates typically underrepresented in leadership.

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

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.
