About Refugee Action

Refugee Action exists to work with refugees and people seeking asylum who've survived some of the world's worst regimes. We are a national charity with more than 40 years' experience of empowering people who've survived some of the world's worst regimes to secure the protection and support that they need to live with dignity and respect and build a new life in the UK. We do this by providing expert advice and casework, building the capacity of partner organisations and campaigning on the policies that affect them.

Requirements

• Commitment to removing barriers to power for people with lived experience, and commitment to anti racist practices.
• Understanding of how the UK's hostile refugee protection and asylum system impacts those affected by it.
• Strong knowledge, understanding, and experience of those communities affected by the Windrush scandal particularly in Greater London.
• Advancing anti racist practices, with a deep understanding of the racialisation of UK immigration policies and their impact on communities.
• Excellent management and leadership skills.
• Strong facilitation and partnership skills, to build effective networks and engage with new and emerging communities.
• Established coproduction and participatory research skills, including experience of developing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) frameworks that capture impact.
• Understanding of the legal advice needs and experiences of asylum seekers, refugees and migrants, including knowledge of when advice requires regulation, the Immigration Advice Authority's (IAA) regulatory scheme and the experiences of organisations registering with the IAA.
• Excellent project and event management skills, including experience of facilitating sessions related to themes such as anti racism, shifting removing barriers to power, access to immigration advice and/or involving experts by experience.
• Experience of either applying for/issuing, grants/funding, managing small grants (either as grant holder or a grant maker) and ensuring grant monitoring and evaluation is submitted to meet the grant conditions.
• Excellent communication skills, demonstrating the ability to create accurate and compelling verbal and written content. This includes experience of creating impactful blogs, social media posts, presentations and reports in English, adapting to different audiences, including people with lived experience and funders.
• Plan and manage own workload, as well as an open and reflective attitude to own work and experience.
• Confident in Information Technology to the required standard and willingness to learn new technology.
