This is an exciting opportunity to lead ASSIST Sheffield’s experienced and diverse volunteer teams and staff in delivering high-quality support to people who are experiencing destitution as a result of being refused asylum in the UK.  The post holder will join a small leadership team, collectively holding responsibility for the work of the organisation. 

You will be experienced in managing or delivering support and advocacy services.
