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.
Role Overview:
This is a new and pivotal role at RMJ, created to build our individual giving programme from the ground up. You’ll take a small but committed base of supporter donors and grow it into a thriving, sustainable income stream. If you enjoy working in a small, collaborative team within a fast-moving organisation that’s ready to scale its impact, this role offers the chance to shape something truly meaningful.
As our Individual Giving Fundraiser, you will lead on digital and direct marketing appeals, engagement campaigns, and supporter journeys that inspire people to take action - whether that’s making a gift, leaving a legacy, taking on a fundraising challenge, or becoming a long-term advocate for our work.
We’re looking for someone with at least three years’ fundraising experience within a campaigning organisation, charity, membership body, or political party. You’ll bring the creativity and drive needed to start a programme almost from scratch, alongside practical experience delivering fundraising across both digital and print channels. You’ll know how to engage different audiences, motivate them to give, and build strong relationships over time.
You’ll also be someone who loves working with data - using it to understand donor behaviour, analyse performance, spot trends, and make smart, evidence-based decisions. By combining data, strong storytelling, and supporter insight, you’ll help us deepen donor engagement and increase income to fuel RMJ’s mission.
For further information and application process, please refer to the job description.
We will only be shortlisting candidates who have submitted a CV and a cover letter explaining their reasons for applying and how they meet the person specification.

About Sophie Hayes Foundation
Sophie Hayes Foundation is a small but mighty charity supporting women survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking as they rebuild their independent lives, free from re exploitation for the long-term.
We provide an employability programme which enables survivors to rediscover their skills, build their confidence and sense of purpose, develop workplace skills, and open up opportunities for work placements or volunteering. We also offer a conversational English course, a digital skills programme, and run a survivor network CREW (Creative Resilient Empowered Women).
We do all we can to meet survivors where they are in a complex system, flexing and adapting to need as it arises. We also do not accept a system which fails survivors, leaving them at risk of re-exploitation, and engage in policy and advocacy campaigns based on our lived and learnt experience.

About the Role

You will build a lead small, effective and positive fundraising and communications team.
You will develop deep and meaningful relationships with the individuals and organisations while support SHF’s work – and new supporters we have not met yet.
You will be hands on, getting stuck into grant applications, prospecting, communicating, and developing new engagement programmes.
We know small charity fundraising is no mean feat – you will get all the support and engagement you need from the SHF team and Board to do you very best work, in a hugely meaningful context.
You will have the opportunity to get involved in any and all parts of the organisation’s work, including policy advocacy, lived and learnt experience co-design, research and service delivery.
