About us
Refugee and Migrant Justice (RMJ) is one of the UK’s largest charities providing immigration and asylum advice, dedicated to supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants to access justice and rebuild their lives.
As an IAA Level 3 accredited organisation, we represent clients at every stage of the immigration and asylum process, including appeals up to the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber. Our work also extends beyond legal advice: we support individuals facing destitution to access housing, financial assistance, and other essential services to which they are entitled.
At RMJ, we are not only committed to delivering high-quality legal support—we are also working to change the system. Our team actively campaigns for a fairer and more humane immigration system. This means our caseworkers have opportunities to contribute to strategic litigation, policy engagement, and wider advocacy work that drives meaningful change.
We are proud to have recently been recognised as a Great Place to Work, reflecting our commitment to building a positive, inclusive, and supportive workplace where our staff can thrive while making a real difference.
We particularly welcome and encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals, and those who are migrants or refugees, and who have lived experience of the impact of UK immigration policy and/or of rough sleeping. This includes individuals with direct experience or experience gained through supporting family members with the challenges posed by immigration and asylum practices- those who have been or could have been clients of RMJ.
We guarantee an interview to refugees, stateless people and others with lived experience of forced migration, as long as they meet at least 50% of the essential criteria.
If you are passionate about justice, human rights, and supporting some of the most vulnerable people in society, we would love to hear from you.

-
Build and manage engagement with British Muslim graduates/vocationally skilled job seekers in target sectors; journalism, law, arts, public policy, and tech/AI
-
Ensure our CRM system is maintained to track all external and internal communication for your area of work with graduates/job seekers
-
Convene and support development sessions for job seekers
-
Engage with the existing alumni network of Aziz Scholars and Interns
-
Collaborate with internal colleagues to support alignment of graduate skills with employer needs
-
Collaborate with the Communications function to ensure internal and external promotion of opportunities

1. Experience
Essential
- Minimum five years’ professional experience in a related role
- Experience in recruitment, career development, or graduate programme management
