We are looking for an exceptional, value-driven candidate who can hit the ground running as our Legal Education Officer, working closely with the Director and the rest of our small and dynamic Right to Remain team.
The person must be someone who understands the Right to Remain ethos and is prepared to bring their whole self to our organisation. Needless to say, the role requires an impeccable grasp of the asylum and immigration system and its operation on the ground, including how it impacts our community of people seeking asylum, refugees, migrants, their families, friends and allies. It requires an ability to help and guide our community to navigate the complex and hostile asylum and immigration system.
You will be working closely with the Director and the rest of our small and dynamic Right to Remain staff team: another Legal Education Officer based in Leeds (generally) covering the North, the Organiser based in Manchester leading our mighty These Walls Must Fall, and the Engagement Officer based in London. In particular, the post holder will be closely coordinating their work with another Legal Education Officer in Leeds. The post holder is also expected to be already embedded in the local and regional asylum and migration field, familiar with its dynamics and able to tap into their existing relationships and connections with local groups and actors.
We are proud of Right to Remain’s unique and bold approach that really believes in collective power. We are focused on building knowledge, radical solidarity and the power of our community. We show up authentically at work and for our community, always giving our 100%. We are determined and calm amidst the crisis and chaos of the world. We know that now is not a ‘business as usual’ time, and we need to meet the moment as the anchor organisation for the migration justice movement. That comes with a lot of responsibility but we also carry it with lightness. We want our new team members to be similarly passionate, ambitious and compassionate.
With the rest of the team, you will be responsible for maintaining, developing, and increasing usage of our highly popular and accessible resources about the asylum and immigration system, most notably the Right to Remain Toolkit. You will deliver interactive workshops on the legal system for people navigating that system as well as professionals and volunteers. You will engage with our network of community groups to ensure that we are apprised of developments on the ground and we are communicating important changes to these support groups. You will also work with the Director and other colleagues to develop and deliver specific public legal education projects, when necessary. You must have outstanding communication skills and the ability to engage with a wide range of audiences, in a manner that reflects Right to Remain’s mission and values.
Right to Remain is a national migration justice organisation, creating a world where everyone can exercise their right to remain where they need to be

Role summary
UK Community Foundations is looking for a part-time Project Manager to support the team on an interim fixed-term basis of 3 months (commencing as soon as possible).
The main purpose of this role is to lead on our Revitalising Trusts Programme which we run in partnership with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The Revitalising Trusts Programme aims to ensure that inactive charitable trusts are either revitalised, or their assets are transferred to another charity (in the cases we manage, this is typically to a community foundation).
You will be highly organised, proactive and have excellent attention to detail – a completer-finisher who takes pride in seeing projects through to the end. The ability to build strong relationships with member community foundations and the team at the Charity Commission is crucial to the programme’s success. Legal and charity governance experience is not essential but would be an asset to the role.
The successful Project Manager will be asked to provide support to the wider team on other strategic projects as needed, so we welcome an open and flexible mindset.
The role is very flexible. We are largely a fully remote team (with some desk space available in central London, if preferred). We are open to requests for flexible working patterns, e.g. 2 or 3 days per week, or a few hours each day. This is advertised as a 3-month fixed-term contract but there may be scope to extend the role.
At UK Community Foundations, we value inclusivity, relationships and ambition. We offer generous holiday and benefits, including 30 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays (pro-rated), enhanced pension contributions and flexible working patterns.

- Ensure clear communications about the programme with all stakeholders as required
- Provide support to trustees in transferring active and inactive trusts to the network, or another charity when more appropriate
Dormant charity accounts
- Liaise with the Charity Commission and relevant banks to progress caseloads, ensuring account transfers happen swiftly and legally
- Lead on distribution of investments to participating community foundations
Wider project management (<10% of the time)
- Provide light-touch support for colleagues leading on other strategic priorities, including an ongoing digital transformation programme
About you
Skills and experience
- Experience of working with trusts and good knowledge of charity governance
- Strong finance skills and an understanding of charity endowments would be desirable
- A track record of influencing stakeholders, key opinion formers and decision makers
- Excellent organisational and project management skills with the ability to work to tight deadlines and prioritise conflicting tasks
- Legal experience is not essential but would be an asset to the role
- Experience of working with the Charity Commission is not essential but would also be an asset to the role
Personal qualities
- Mature, empathetic, engaging, diplomatic and influential, with the ability to engage with people at all levels, including senior policy/decision makers
- Fast paced, committed, solution focused
- A completer-finisher who takes pride in seeing projects through to the end
- Someone who enjoys complex problem solving
