Job description

The Unity Project (TUP) supports people who are facing poverty and homelessness because their immigration status allows them ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF). We believe NRPF should not exist and we are working to end it. 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.

We are seeking an experienced and qualified immigration advisor to manage our legal casework. You will develop our specialist casework service - promoting its effectiveness and ensuring we provide compassionate support to applicants while meeting all regulatory requirements. 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.
