Born in the aftermath of World War II, our frontline services support over 14,000 refugees each year to find safety, get to know their neighbours, and enter education, training or work. We share our evidence and expertise with policymakers to help build integrated communities where everyone can contribute.

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.

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
