Legal Casework Manager
Using Anonymous Recruitment
This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Submit your application as normal and our system will anonymise it for you. Your personal information will be hidden until the recruiter contacts you.
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 are seeking an experienced and qualified immigration advisor to manage our specialist casework service.
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. We are a small organisation which has achieved national systemic change 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 deepen our impact.
As Legal Casework Manager, you will oversee the casework process from start to finish, prioritising compassionate and effective support to applicants and ensuring we meet all regulatory requirements, while also holding a limited personal caseload. 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, identifying opportunities for improvement internally, and working closely with our Strategic Casework Lead and external partners to achieve systems change through litigation and other channels.
