Duty Scheme Support Officer

The Duty Scheme Support Officer performs a vital role supporting the smooth running of ASAP’s duty scheme. Our scheme offers free legal representation for people in the asylum system who need food and shelter, but have been refused it, or are about to be evicted. Your work will help to ensure people are not left homeless when they are entitled to support.

You will work closely with the duty scheme team, especially the Duty Scheme Co-ordinator (DSC), to provide efficient and time-sensitive administrative support to the scheme. You will be a key first point of contact for our duty scheme, having daily direct contact with people seeking assistance, referring agencies, the AST court admin team, ASAP staff, duty scheme advocates (DSAs) and the Home Office.

We are looking for an efficient administrator, with good communication skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to asylum, human rights or social justice. 

Please see our job description and person specification on our website for more information.

Interviews for shortlisting applicants will be on 14th October in London.
