BACKGROUND
Magic Breakfast’s mission is to end child morning hunger in the UK now and for good. The latest research suggests that 2.7 million children are at risk of hunger, meaning one in five children don’t have enough to eat. When a child is too hungry to learn, they struggle to concentrate, absorb information, and manage their emotions, causing them to fall behind in their studies.
Magic Breakfast provides a nutritious breakfast to over 350,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target children most in need without barrier or stigma.

About us
International Care Network (ICN) is a Christian charity walking alongside refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants as they rebuild their lives here in the UK. Every day, we see hope restored, confidence grow, and futures rebuilt - and you could be part of that story.
About the role
We’re looking for a compassionate, skilled Immigration Adviser to join our warm, dedicated team in Bournemouth. Our preference is for someone accredited at IAA Level 2 (or Level 3) in Immigration, as this will allow you to take on Level 2 immigration work from the outset.
We are also open to candidates with IAA asylum accreditation and experience, and depending on the successful candidate, we may explore developing elements of asylum work that can be undertaken without a legal aid contract. This would be shaped collaboratively with the person we recruit.
Solicitors or barristers with strong immigration experience are also welcome to apply.
What you’ll do
In this role, you’ll offer high‑quality immigration advice to people who are often navigating incredibly challenging moments in their lives. You will manage your own caseload of Level 2 immigration matters, supporting clients with clarity, care and professionalism.
Where appropriate, and depending on your accreditation and experience, you may also contribute to limited areas of asylum work that fall outside the legal aid contract, ensuring we manage demand responsibly and sustainably.
A big part of the role involves building trusting, compassionate relationships with the people you support, helping them understand their options and feel confident in their next steps. You’ll work closely with colleagues, partners and statutory agencies to move cases forward, contribute to our weekly drop‑in, and ensure that safeguarding, data protection and professional standards are always upheld.
You’ll keep your IAA registration, knowledge and CPD fully up to date, and play an important part in helping us grow and develop ICN’s immigration service, shaping how we support our community into the future.
Every day, your work will make a real and tangible difference.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
· Are IAA accredited at Level 2 or 3 in Immigration (preferred) and/or Asylum, or are a solicitor/barrister with relevant immigration experience
· Have at least 12 months’ experience delivering immigration advice
· Are confident managing your own caseload
· Communicate clearly and sensitively, both verbally and in writing
· Build rapport easily with people from diverse backgrounds
· Are organised, detail‑driven and able to work to deadlines
· Work well independently and collaboratively
· Are empathetic, respectful and committed to fairness
· Are comfortable working within and being supportive of ICN’s Christian ethos
If you don’t tick every box but feel drawn to this work, please still apply. We’d love to hear your story.
What we offer
· Salary: £31,500 pro rata
· 25 days’ annual leave + 8 bank holidays (pro rata)
· Company pension scheme
· Mileage paid at 45p/mile for work‑related travel
· Staff wellbeing support, socials, and access to clinical supervision
· Flexibility within contracted hours
· Ongoing training and development
· A genuinely supportive and friendly team who care about each other
ICN is committed to being an inclusive and welcoming employer. As a Disability Confident employer, we encourage applications from people with disabilities and will make reasonable adjustments where needed. We value diversity and ensure all current and potential employees are given equal opportunities. No one will ever be disadvantaged or discriminated against because of gender, age, marital or civil partnership status, race, nationality or ethnic origin, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy or maternity, trade union membership or political beliefs. Only requirements that can be clearly justified are applied.
