About the role:
Hours: Permanent, part time, 21 hours
Salary: £20,916 (£34,860 FTE)
At the Cardinal Hume Centre, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a full life, but we know that homelessness and poverty can wreck that potential. Too often homelessness at a young age is repeated and compounded in later years. Our renewed vision is to increase our focus on young people, children and their families. To value every individual, nurture their potential and help people thrive.
We are looking to recruit an OISC Level 1 Advisor to provide tailor-made advice to individual clients with regard to child citizenship applications. This is an exciting role in our Immigration team that will Act as a point of contact within the Centre for all queries and questions relating to immigration advice. You will develop your own caseload in partnership with the service manager, assess referrals, apply for fee waivers and provide casework support for other team members. You will work to Office of Immigration Services Commission (OISC), Specialist Quality Mark (SQM) and Immigration and Asylum Accreditation (IAAS) standards and keep up to date with changes in law and policy relating to refugees, asylum seekers and migrants.
Please refer to the job description for further information.
In your cv and cover letter, please outline how you meet the requirements of the role and why you would like to work for us. You must account for any gaps in your employment history.
The Centre is an equal opportunities employer. We are always looking for talented people from all backgrounds to join us and help improve the lives of homeless young people, insecurely housed families and their children. We particularly want to encourage people from under-represented groups in the not-for-profit sector to step forward and apply to work with us. We require our staff to recognise the valuable role that volunteers play in the work of the Centre and to welcome and support volunteers with whom they work.
