Who We Are 

Migrateful runs cookery classes led by refugees, asylum seekers and migrants struggling to integrate and access employment. The cookery classes provide ideal conditions not just for learning English and building confidence, but also for promoting contact and cultural exchange with the wider community.

Our Mission

Due to legal, linguistic and social barriers, finding work can be extremely difficult for many migrants. Being unable to provide for themselves and their families has significant negative effects on self-esteem and mental health. Migrateful’s mission is to empower and celebrate refugees and vulnerable migrants on their journey to integration, by supporting them to run their own cookery classes.

Why Work for Us?

Migrateful is a young, award-winning, innovative social enterprise and registered charity. Set up in 2017 by the founder and CEO, Jess Thompson (featured on the Forbes 30 under 30 list), in five years it has grown into an organisation with 84 chefs, 13 staff and 150 volunteers. Our main operation is in London with pilot operations currently in Bristol, Kent & Brighton. Working with us you would be part of a friendly and supportive team, with drive and energy to develop the Migrateful model further, replicate it in other parts of the country and create a fairer, more integrated society.

Why now?

It’s an exciting time to join Migrateful.  We have recently conducted a piece of research to understand how successfully Migrateful classes meet the criteria for ‘contact theory’ which underpins our model. We are also in the process of publishing our first impact report. Our model has now been honed and tested and proven to work, not only in terms of the benefits it brings to vulnerable migrants but also in terms of providing an enjoyable experience for class participants. Our classes foster kinder attitudes towards migrants in the UK, and we want to maximise our impact by implementing it at scale across the country and beyond. In this role you would be in the exciting and crucial position of delivering on this strategic aim in the Bristol area.

Essential 

• Demonstrable commitment to Migrateful’s mission.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to deal with, and have empathy for, a diverse range of people including vulnerable groups.

• Excellent organisation and leadership skills.

• Ability to take initiative, be flexible and think creatively.

• Enthusiasm, energy and a positive attitude.

• Demonstrable attention to detail

• Previous experience of at least two years in an operations and/or business development role

• Strong and varied network across the Bristol community.

• Strong stakeholder management  skills.

• Strong project management skills.

• Passion for social change and keen interest in how to scale impact.

• Experience of working in a social enterprise.

• Experience of working within the food industry.

• Refugee or Migrant background.

• Experience in an events management role.

• Experience onboarding and managing volunteers.

• Links to Bristol refugee charities

We welcome applications from underrepresented groups, whether these be of ethnicity, gender identity, religion, physical ability, sexual orientation or other.

Responsibilities:

• Overseeing strategic aims and financial budgets in Bristol

• Partnership building with venues and the media 

• Coordinating volunteers, facilitators, chefs and venues in order to schedule and publish our cookery classes

The Prince's Trust is a youth charity that helps young people aged 11 to 30 get into jobs, education and training.

The Trust has an ambitious strategy to be there for young people and maximise our impact, strengthen our support network, build a better future for young people, and become one of the most diverse and inclusive organisations serving young people.

To achieve our strategic goals, it is critical that we communicate effectively both internally and externally with a range of stakeholders, which ultimately means we can be there for young people. This includes the communities we want to reach, funders, volunteers, and colleagues. The Director of Communications post is vital in ensuring we maximise our impact on young people by ensuring that the strength of the reputation of The Trust is developed and protected to ensure we have the funds and support available to benefit our communities.

As an active member of the Executive Leadership Team, the Director of Communications leads all aspects of The Trust’s communications, developing and delivering a compelling series of campaigns to enhance awareness and understanding, while being a strong custodian of a positive reputation. The role will also lead on coordination with Clarence House on matters relating to corporate positioning, media relations and key events involving HRH The Prince of Wales.

This role would suit an experienced communications professional with a passion for supporting young people and addressing issues of social mobility. Experience of UK media and campaigns would be very helpful, as would an understanding of how to operate in complex environments. You do not need to have been a Director before, and we’d also welcome applications from candidates outside of the charity sector.

The Prince’s Trust is committed to building a workforce that is as diverse as the young people that represent modern day Britain, and we are ultimately here to support. As part of our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy we are wanting to build a management and leadership team that has greater representation of the diverse communities across England and particularly welcome candidates with lived experiences from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds. To that end, we welcome applications from all candidates, including those from under represented groups.

Closing date: 9 a.m. Friday 26th August 2022
