Asylum Justice is the only charity in Wales - and one of very few in the UK - providing free legal advice and representation to people seeking asylum, refugees, and other migrants who are excluded from legal aid. Every day, we help people navigate a hostile system, challenge injustice, and secure safety for themselves and their families.

Demand for our services is higher than ever. In the past year alone, our caseload increased by nearly 50%, and we've taken on more complex, urgent cases - including supporting unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and people at immediate risk of destitution or deportation.

We’re now looking for a Funding Officer to join our small, committed team and help secure the resources we need to sustain and grow our work. This is a chance to make a tangible difference - not just in helping us meet income targets, but in strengthening access to justice for some of the most marginalised people in Wales.

The role is hybrid working (Cardiff office and remote working) but fully remote working may also be considered. We are open to compressed hours or part-time working (minimum 28 hours) for the right candidate. We also welcome applications from people interested in a job share arrangement.

About the role

This is a hands-on, varied role that combines fundraising, relationship management, and impact storytelling. You’ll work closely with our Legal Director and wider team to:

• Research and identify funding opportunities from trusts, foundations, and statutory sources
• Write compelling funding bids and reports that reflect our impact and values
• Maintain excellent relationships with funders and support project coordination with delivery partners
• Coordinate grant reporting and keep accurate records of income, spend, and deadlines
• Support internal monitoring and evaluation to strengthen our evidence base
• Help develop our approach to individual giving, fundraising events, and donor communications

We’re looking for someone who shares our commitment to justice and anti-racism, and who brings strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach.

Who we’re looking for

We don’t expect you to know everything from day one - we’re open to candidates with transferable skills from across the charity, campaigning, or community sectors. You might have experience as a fundraiser, grant writer, project officer, or in a policy/impact role where writing and relationship-building are key.

What matters most is that you're passionate about what we do, committed to equity and inclusion, and eager to learn and contribute.

What we offer

• A supportive, mission-driven team working in solidarity with people seeking asylum
• Flexibility around working days, location, and hours
• An organisational culture that prioritises wellbeing and psychological safety
• The chance to shape an ambitious and growing organisation at a pivotal time

ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We work with our partners and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want

Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies? 

creative innovator who is motivated by pushing the boundaries?

Then we'd love to hear from you!

At ActionAid, we are driven by a powerful mission: to work for a world where women and girls are valued, heard and safe. The Events & Community Fundraising team plays a vital role in bringing people closer to that mission — through unforgettable experiences, empowering campaigns and opportunities for individuals to take action. We’re now looking for a creative, strategic and energised Marketing & Product Executive to join us and shape the next generation of supporter engagement.

In this role, you’ll lead the planning, development and delivery of exciting multi-channel marketing campaigns that inspire supporters to take on fundraising challenges such as the London Marathon, community initiatives, self-led challenges and ActionAid-run events. You’ll be hands-on and imaginative — creating bold, compelling content, particularly video for social platforms like TikTok and Meta, while championing an insight-led approach to storytelling and supporter recruitment (existing & potential). This role is also a driver in product development, maximizing opportunities to explore new events and community fundraising streams.

You’ll bring real innovation to our programme, identifying new ideas and fundraising propositions that resonate with our audiences. You’ll take these ideas from concept to launch — researching needs, testing assumptions, refining messaging and making sure every offer feels fresh, inclusive and meaningful. You’ll stay close to digital trends, experiment enthusiastically and evaluate campaign performance thoughtfully, using learning to fuel continuous improvement. Working alongside passionate colleagues across our Events & Community Engagement team, you’ll also help ensure every fundraiser feels valued and supported throughout their journey. You’ll collaborate with supporter administration and contact teams to ensure seamless communication touchpoints, and you’ll contribute to planning, forecasting and reporting to support confident decision-making.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a creative environment, manages multiple projects with confidence and takes pride in producing content that genuinely connects with people. You’ll bring experience in social-first video production and editing tools such as CapCut, VN or Adobe Premiere Pro, alongside a strong understanding of marketing tools, insights and analytics. You’ll be enthusiastic, collaborative and full of ideas, with a natural ability to communicate clearly and compellingly.

We are looking for someone who believes in feminist values, who is committed to anti-racist and decolonising practice, and who is motivated by working for global justice. ActionAid is a community built on solidarity, courage and care — and we would love to welcome your voice, creativity and expertise to our work. Please note that occasional evening or weekend attendance at UK events will be part of this role.
 

Interviews likely to be held W/C 22 January 2026
