We are seeking a committed and creative Outreach and Communications Officer who will be responsible for sharing our knowledge and expertise as widely as possible.
About The Role
The Unity Project (TUP) supports people who are facing poverty and homelessness because their immigration status allows them ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF). We believe NRPF should not exist and we are working to end it. Until then, we seek to minimise its impact by supporting people to make the ‘change of conditions’ (CoC) application to access public funds. However, as the number of people living under NRPF continues to grow, we know we will never be able to meet the need for CoCs. Ensuring that our knowledge and experience is shared - with advisors, support services, community groups and individuals who could make applications themselves - is vital. Raising awareness of our work also supports our income diversification strategy by building corporate partnerships and individual donations.
In this role, you will be leading The Unity Project’s outreach and communications work in order to increase awareness of the Change of Conditions process and the support The Unity Project can offer to individuals and organisations. Your first priorities will include mapping CoC provision across the country; working with the Director to design and implement a communications strategy to engage applicants, advice organisations, corporate partners and donors; and creating a suite of CoC resources to share online. As you develop in the role, you will deliver outreach and information sessions online and in the community. We hope that over time you will have the opportunity to grow, take on new responsibilities and help to shape how we do outreach and communications as we evolve.
About The Unity Project
Who we are
The Unity Project is a small charity that supports people with ‘Change of Conditions’ (CoC) applications required for access to public funds.
Why we exist
We want everyone living in the UK to have equal access to the welfare system. We exist to challenge the 'no recourse to public funds' (NRPF) policy in order to end it and, until then, minimise its impact.
Our values
We aim to be:
- Representative of and accountable to people who are navigating or have navigated the systems we want to change.
- Sustainable, so we can continue our work as long as it is needed.
- Trauma informed, recognising the impact of prior traumatic experiences and promoting an organisational culture which is safe, transparent, collaborative and responds empathically to each individual’s needs.
- Rooted in community, as we believe that strength comes from relationships of solidarity and mutual support.
- Equitable to all who give their time to the project.
- Tenacious, innovative, reflective and adaptable in our casework.
Our benefits
- Salary - £37,800 pro rata
- Flexibility - We all work together in person on Tuesdays. Beyond that we can be flexible about how you meet your hours.
- Annual leave - 35 days inclusive of bank holidays, plus a regular Christmas closure period (subject to board approval)
- Pension - 5% employee contribution, 8% employer contribution
- Clinical supervision - All staff have access to monthly clinical supervision
- Wellbeing - All staff have a personal wellbeing budget to spend as they need
- Professional development - We organise regular all-staff training sessions to address needs identified by the team, and every staff member has an individual training budget for their own professional development. We aim to support all staff to grow and shape their roles in line with their career aspirations.
- Immigration support - On a case by case basis, we may be able to offer legal assistance with the immigration applications necessary to sustain this employment in compliance with UK immigration law.
- Working environment - We are a small and friendly team of staff and volunteers. We believe that effective opposition to the hostile environment is rooted in our relationships with each other and our community.
Please submit your CV and cover letter (no more than two pages) via the Charity Job website by midday on Thursday 04/12/25. Please read the person specification thoroughly and address in your application all the points which are marked assessed at Application stage.
We use an anonymised recruitment process, so names and basic demographic information will be redacted from applications before shortlisting. Please do not include this information in the body of your cover letter.
We plan to hold interviews in the week beginning 08/12/25. We will discuss accessibility requirements in advance.
Our contact email is at the end of the person specification in case you have questions or issues using the Charity Job website.
We want everyone to have equal access to the welfare system. We challenge the ‘no recourse to public funds’ policy and work to minimise its impact.
