This is an exciting opportunity to join a small but ambitious grassroots charity run by and for women seeking asylum. WAST has a proud track record of providing a safe space for women to come together in solidarity and campaign for justice in an increasingly hostile environment.

We are looking for the right person to work alongside WAST’s management group of women seeking asylum to successfully take forward WAST’s development priorities – supporting women through the asylum system, campaigning on the issues affecting them and supporting wellbeing through a trauma informed approach. You will work to maintain and develop WAST’s infrastructure and resources to ensure its continued strength and stability.

You will need to have relevant experience in charity or public sector management and fundraising, with a positive participatory leadership style. You will have excellent interpersonal and partnership building skills with a commitment to supporting women seeking asylum and to WAST’s values of compassion, respect, inclusion and empowerment.

WAST has recently restructured and expanded its staffing team. As Manager, you will be assisted by two part-time coordinators: the Engagement and Programme Coordinator (an established member of staff) and a new Coordinator role, which you will be expected to help define and recruit.

This is an exciting time for WAST as we look to develop with the growing needs of our organisation.

Background Information

WAST is run by and for women seeking asylum and currently has around 170 members. It was started in 2005 by WAST’s current Chair whilst fighting her own anti-deportation campaign and became a constituted charity in 2014. Its purpose remains to provide a safe space for women coming together in solidarity to offer support, share information and help each other to survive and to get their leave to remain in the UK. Women are at the sharp end of the ‘hostile environment’ with punitive government immigration policies and practice. WAST enables a process of empowerment through which women gain the confidence and strength to voice their experience and campaign for justice.

WAST is a place of hope and belonging with its core values of compassion, respect, inclusion and empowerment and its continuous development of its trauma informed peer support approach.

WAST is proud of its pioneering work giving a voice to women seeking asylum and inspiring other women around the country to set up similar groups. WAST has been at the forefront of national campaigning against detention, has published three books and created two plays, giving voice to women’s experiences.

Activities are led by the WAST Management Group elected by the membership and supported by WAST staff, currently a part-time Engagement and Programme Coordinator (and we will soon be recruiting for a second part-time coordinator role).

Application information

The post is based at the WAST office in central Manchester with some opportunity for remote working. The post is for 28 hours a week.

We welcome applications from all sections of the community. As an organisation led by and for women seeking asylum, we particularly encourage women with lived experience as a refugee or migrant.

There may be scope for the appointment to include a development phase for the right candidate. This could include the provision of some training and support to enable the post holder to fully meet all requirements of the role.

• Maintain governance and management practices across Nacro

About Our Client

At Nacro we believe passionately that everybody has a right to a second chance, where everyone can fulfill their potential.

Our core belief is that a good education, a decent job and a safe place to live are what everyone in our society deserves. For those who end up in prison, it's the start of new chance, not a road to nowhere.

We all know that having somewhere to live, a job, good health and connections mean someone is much less likely to commit a crime. Sadly, a growing number of people who enter prison are homeless; thousands have mental health problems, drug addictions, are unemployed and/or have bad experiences of the education system. For far too many this stays the same when they're released. This isn't inevitable.

As a society we believe that there should be consequences for those who break the law, but we also believe that those who end up in contact with the criminal justice system should be given the support they need to be able to turn their lives around after serving their sentence.

Nacro sees that by removing the barriers and giving the right support, thousands of people have the chance to rebuild their lives and their families, and to contribute to our communities.

We believe that everyone should have the best chance at a second chance.

In the next year, Nacro is likely to reach a turnover of c£100m. This is a growth of over one third in three years. In order to prepare the organisation for the challenges of delivering the new strategy we have created two new roles (this role and a Director of Technology and Data).

Make a Difference with The Makhad Trust!

Position: Project/Operations Manager (Part-time)

Location: UK-based with travel to South Sinai, Egypt

About Us: The Makhad Trust is a UK registered charity dedicated to sustaining the environment and natural heritage of the Bedouin tribes in the Sinai Mountains and Desert in Egypt. Our focus on supporting them is by renewing access to water and supporting traditional lifestyles. The Bedouin are a marginalised community, who are barred from many forms of employment yet receive little or no help from Egyptian authorities. A 15+ year drought dried up wells, then collapse of the tourism industry in 2013 bought unemployment, and huge floods have filled in wells. Access to drinking water is difficult. The Trust gives support through restoration of wells for drinking and growing food, and building small dams, and small projects such as beekeeping training, herb growing and carpentry training. Restored wells provide drinking water and ability to grow crops for eating, promoting health and well being, and for income.

About the Role: This unique UK based dual role combines fundraising and administration in the UK with practical project initiatives in Sinai, Egypt. You will be instrumental in transforming lives by ensuring access to clean water and supporting sustainable livelihoods in a unique way by both supporting Sinai Trust in office operationally and directly in the field. The successful candidate will be travelling to Sinai for 2 weeks 4 times per year and will involve visiting ongoing well restorations, assessing new wells for restoration, cataloguing the costs by the well owner, and paying the well owner for the work done. Some of these will be easier to access, given their proximity to nearby roads compared to others which require a 3 hour walk into the high mountains to reach with steep mountainside journeys with no visible paths so the successful candidate will need to be mountain fit. Through these journeys you will be accompanied by our Sinai manager who is a Bedouin from the local town and will act as a guide and provide local knowledge. 

Key Responsibilities:

Office-Based Impact:

• • Apply for funding and liaise with funders.

• • Write reports, keep records, and track income and expenditure.

• • Update spreadsheets and plan journeys.

• • Engage with stakeholders to communicate the impact of our projects.

Field-Based Impact:

• • Travel to Sinai four times a year for two-week periods.

• • Visit ongoing well restorations and assess new wells for restoration.

• • Catalogue costs and pay well owners for completed work. Log information about restoration at well sites and enter data into spreadsheets.

• • Navigate rugged landscapes, including high mountains and steep paths, to reach remote wells.

• • Visit and support various small projects facilitated by the Trust.

About You:

• Proficient with Numbers/Excel spreadsheets and able to write reports, funding applications, and newsletters.
• Good at planning, risk management, and practical tasks.
• Numerate, self-directed, and comfortable working and traveling alone.
• Understanding of different cultural norms and not risk-averse.
• Mountain fit, experienced in trekking and camping, and sure-footed.
• A team player with good leadership skills, self-reliant, adaptable, and able to replan on the go.
• Trustworthy, honest, tactful, and diplomatic.
• Curious, eager to learn, and knows when to seek advice.
• Able to work in the summer heat of Egypt.
• Equipped with a laptop for record-keeping and preferably an iPad for field reports.

How to Apply: Send your CV with two references (one work reference and one character reference) Via Quick apply. Possible candidates will be called for an interview in the New Year. Confirmation of the selected candidate will be made after participation in a Sinai Journey in the Spring if the application is approved.
