We are looking for someone both to deliver our immigration casework and to manage and develop our immigration advice services, including recruitment, line management & supervision of relevant staff and volunteers. The post holder will provide one-to-one legal immigration advice, casework and practical support to migrant and refugee clients in Brighton & Hove and Sussex in the areas of out-of-scope immigration and occasionally asylum work (up to OISC L2). You will also provide supervision for L1 and trainee staff and volunteer advisors as required. You will share the management of our broader advice & casework team, including generalist and resettlement casework, with our current generalist and resettlement managers.
You will be accredited to provide immigration advice at minimum OISC Level 2 and expected to carry a caseload of cases largely out of the scope of legal aid. For cases within scope you will make active referrals or signpost to legal aid providers wherever possible and practical.
Along with other managers you will lead on the development of our casework management system, AdvicePro, to ensure that agreed advice and organisational outcomes are embedded from the outset, and that staff and volunteers are trained and equipped to understand and provide these. You will be required to monitor and report against projects as needed by both funders and internally for e.g. the director and trustees.
You will be expected to participate in local networks and to participate and lead on conversations to develop immigration advice capacity in the city and region and to influence change and find solutions to the critical lack of immigration advice on the south coast.
You will have an awareness of clients’ holistic needs and be able to signpost and refer both internally and externally as appropriate to address needs including destitution; asylum support; children’s, family and adult social care; welfare benefits; housing & homelessness; access to mainstream and voluntary sector services including ESOL and employability, health and mental health care; and referrals into activities and services that can respond to people’s strengths and skills as well as their needs, including our own support groups and volunteering opportunities.
You will contribute to the senior management team of Voices, working closely with the Director, Head of Services, Generalist Advice Manager and Resettlement Manager to share oversight and reflections and planning of current operational needs and strategic planning.
You will be expected to contribute to broader learning and planning around developing our strategic plan and theory of change, including developing our work on the role of those with lived experience in our organisation.
We are currently the only free, L2-accredited, year-round provider of out-of-scope immigration advice on the South Coast, and increasing local immigration capacity is critical to address growing demand and changing demographics in the region. We are also seeing and will continue to see new arrivals and needs in the region over the next year and onwards including Hong Kong BNO nationals, Afghans resettled under the ARAP and ACRS schemes, EEA nationals who still have not registered for status, people required to transition to digital eVisas by 31st December 2024, and an increasing number of both newly arrived and established asylum seekers placed in emergency (‘contingency’) and dispersal Home Office accommodation.
Regular supervisions will be provided by the Director, as well as access to external training on specific issues where needed. However you will need to be ready to step immediately into a busy advice environment with the necessary confidence, skills and knowledge both to deliver a complex caseload and to manage a new team through an important moment in the growth of our advice and caseworker service.
Postholders will need to have the right to work in the UK.

What the job involves
Join our dynamic People and Culture team as Head of People - Learning, Engagement, and Experience! In this strategic role, you'll provide leadership across Prostate Cancer UK, focusing on people and volunteer experience with a people-centred approach. You'll help develop and deliver inclusive, dynamic people development and culture strategies to drive employee engagement, upskill our people, and manage internal and volunteer communications, ensuring our continued growth.
You'll lead teams specialising in learning, engagement, and volunteer experience. You'll develop and ensure the successful implementation of a learning and development strategy that aligns with the strategic and operational capability needs of the charity. You'll design and deliver a series of interventions that develop our senior leaders, colleagues, and volunteers, enhancing our capability to deliver our strategy. You'll continuously review and evaluate People Experience and Culture activities to ensure they remain relevant to changing organisational needs and are aligned with other support functions and operational strategies.
Directing the development and implementation of a strategic internal communications plan, you’ll ensure all colleagues and volunteers are connected to our work, reinforcing our values and culture. You'll own the cycle of gaining feedback from colleagues and volunteers and drive the action planning process to ensure that progress and improvements are achieved.
Working across Directorates, you'll ensure a consistent people and volunteer experience. You'll guide the design and management of systems and processes that deliver a great experience, ensuring all interventions are measured and evaluated effectively, building learning into subsequent activities.
You'll coach and develop your team to achieve fantastic results and progress their skills and capabilities. Additionally, you'll build strong collaborative working relationships across our senior leadership team and work with an in-depth network of external suppliers and partners to support the delivery of our work.
What we want from you
An experienced people leader, you’ll have a proven track record of developing and delivering impactful People Experience and Culture strategies, including learning and leadership development interventions, ideally within the charity or not-for-profit sector. You're both a strategic and operational thinker and leader, able to articulate clear aims and rationale to shape longer-term plans and see them through to operational delivery.
With experience in leading strategic internal communications, you're attuned to the changing world around us and understand how this could enhance or derail our People strategies. Passionate about organisational development, you’ll have a solid understanding of the employee lifecycle and can demonstrate your contribution to developing culture and improving people experience as well as volunteer experience interventions.
Your exceptional interpersonal and communication skills allow you to operate and manage comfortably in a multicultural and multistakeholder organisation. As a natural relationship builder, you’ll work collaboratively, balancing operational and strategic responsibilities. You're also at ease presenting to the Leadership Team or the Board. You're someone who easily connects with people from a range of backgrounds, putting our people at the heart of everything you and your team do.
Ideally, you hold a recognised qualification in organisational development, learning and development, or human resources (CIPD), or an Internal Communications accreditation (IoIC accredited Diploma or CIPR diploma), or equivalent work experience.
These are the skills and types of experience you’ll need for this role – but we know skills and experience can be developed. If you think you can do most of this, and are excited by our work, we want to hear from you.
Why work with us?

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support.
