About the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association
The Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA) is a professional association and registered charity, the majority of whose members are barristers, solicitors, advocates and IAA regulated advisers practising in all aspects of immigration, asylum and nationality law. ILPA currently has approximately 4500 individual member contacts.
Founded in 1984 by leading practitioners in the field, and 42 years on, stronger than ever, ILPA exists to promote and improve advice and representation in immigration, asylum and nationality law, through an extensive programme of training and disseminating information and by providing research and opinion that draw on the experiences of members.
Our vision is a fair and effective immigration system that respects human rights and the rule of law. We realise this by empowering members to provide the best possible advice and support for migrants and collaboratively working to improve law, policy and practice.
ILPA is represented on numerous Government, official and non-Governmental advisory groups and regularly provides high-level evidence to Parliamentary and official enquiries. ILPA is at the forefront of engagement with the Home Office, NGOs and other Government departments.
To our members, ILPA is a community where they come to share knowledge, keep up to date with changes and receive high-quality training to enable them to practise effectively. Members also rely on ILPA to be their voice in seeking change for the better to immigration, asylum and nationality law and practice. This we do through the work of our expert legal team, engaging with policymakers and stakeholders, and drawing on the experiences and expertise of our members.
ILPA is an equal opportunities employer. We acknowledge that the legal and charitable sector can be less accessible to people from minoritised or racialised communities and lower socio-economic backgrounds, and we are committed to unsettling the status quo. In this role you will wear many hats and we recognise that the successful candidate may not have all the skills and experience listed in the personal specification. We welcome applications from you if you can see yourself in this role and have an appetite to gain new skills, knowledge and experience. We particularly welcome applications from individuals who have lived experience of the UK immigration system

Thank you!
We're looking for an exceptional content creator who understands the Ocean and knows how to make people care about it.
This is a hands-on individual contributor role with significant ownership. You will own content planning and community management across social media, web and newsletters. You'll be responsible for Ocean Generation's digital content and engagement, from deciding what stories we tell and how we tell them, through to creating, publishing, engaging with our community of 170,000+, analysing performance and improving what we do next.
We're a small, ambitious team on a mission to make Ocean Literacy accessible to millions of people. So, you'll need to be comfortable transforming Ocean science and educational programme outputs into compelling storytelling across social media, newsletters, and our website, taking the whole process from spotting an opportunity and developing the idea through to creating, publishing and owning the result.
We're particularly interested in people who already understand the Ocean or marine sector and have a proven track record of creating compelling social content.
You don't need to be a marine scientist, but you do need to understand the Ocean well enough to tell its stories accurately, ensuring Ocean Generation remains a trusted, empowering, and recognisable voice for Ocean Literacy.
About Ocean Generation
Ocean Generation is a UNESCO-endorsed Ocean education charity turning Science into Storytelling. We make Ocean Literacy accessible through film, pop-culture, and education programmes that empower practical action.
Most people grow up unaware that the Ocean is keeping us all alive: Ocean Generation exists to change that.
Established in 2009 by film producer Jo Ruxton MBE, our award-winning documentary ‘A Plastic Ocean’ was named by Sir David Attenborough as “one of the most important films of our time” and ignited mass public awareness about the impact of plastic pollution.
Today, we address a full range of human-made threats impacting the Ocean, with a particular focus on programmes for young people across the world.
Our Ocean Intelligence approach – how we translate complex Ocean science into engaging content through Science and Storytelling – has been endorsed by the Intergovernmental Oceanic Commission of UNESCO as a project under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
- Our vision is a world where society understands, values, and acts for the Ocean.
- Our mission is to improve Ocean Literacy by translating complex science into engaging content, programmes, and practical actions.
The Role

Content Creation & Community Management
- Set and own the content strategy, with accountability for content direction, performance, and day-to-day delivery within agreed organisational objectives.
- Create and distribute platform-native content across Instagram, TikTok, Threads, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X; adapting stories, formats, and tone for different audiences and platforms.
- Leverage your storytelling skills to translate complex Ocean science and programme outputs into creative short-form video and static social content that educates and empowers our community.
- Identify opportunities for reactive, culturally relevant and trend-led content.
- Develop ideas independently and take them from concept to publication.
- Maintain Ocean Generation’s tone of voice, visual identity, and editorial standards.
- Manage community engagement for an audience of 170,000+, responding to comments and DMs with care, accuracy and positivity.
- Identify underperforming content and experiment with new formats, narratives and approaches.
- Nurture our global community of Ocean lovers and advocates by prompting conversation and engagement online.
- Own the editorial calendar, working with our Science and Ocean Literacy teams to ensure a cohesive content strategy across all platforms.
- Bring engagement and education programmes to life through case studies, visuals, and event coverage.
