About BID

At BID, we’ve been at the forefront of the fight against immigration detention since 1998. We're a small but dedicated charity that offers free legal advice and representation to individuals held in detention across the UK.

With just 13 staff and over 45 active volunteers, our impact is far reaching. We provide legal casework, deliver frontline advice services, support systemic advocacy, and engage in strategic litigation – all to end arbitrary detention.

We’re proud to be accredited by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) and recognised as a leading voice in immigration legal support.

As Legal Manager, you’ll play a central role in delivering high-quality, trauma informed legal services to people in immigration detention.

You’ll supervise and support our brilliant Legal Volunteers, manage your own caseload, oversee BID’s advice line and legal surgeries, and contribute to training and mentoring volunteers starting their legal careers. You’ll also support our policy and advocacy team by identifying systemic issues from our legal work that require wider change.

Whether it's preparing bail applications, reviewing legal submissions, training volunteers, or providing urgent advice on our helpline, you’ll be working directly at the intersection of law and justice.

This is a new senior leadership role created through Inclusion North’s restructure. It is central to how we rebuild our strategic presence in Yorkshire and Humber while ensuring strong, joined-up working across the Northeast.

You will lead high-level engagement across both regions, with a particular focus on Yorkshire and Humber. In this region, you will help Inclusion North reconnect, build strategic partnerships, and become a visible and valued voice in system-level spaces.

You will take a lead in representing Inclusion North across a range of regional spaces, including Communities of Practice, local authority-led forums, and, where appropriate, ICB-related groups. This means helping shape change, influence commissioning, and ensure that the voices of people with a learning disability, autistic people, and family carers are heard where decisions are made. You will also be expected to challenge constructively when systems fall short of inclusion, equity, or lived experience leadership.

You will line manage the Innovation and Impact Manager and the Good Life Collaborative Programme Lead. This includes overseeing how our delivery connects to system priorities, responds to emerging opportunities, and contributes to our financial sustainability. You will also provide strategic insight to support planning, funding, and future direction.

This is a leadership role for someone who can build trust, speak with credibility, and stand firm in their values. You will need the insight to understand how systems work, and the confidence to push for change when they do not work for the people they are meant to serve.

The Cross-regional Strategic Lead holds senior responsibility for regional engagement, system influence, and delivery oversight at a strategic level.

The role is anchored in Yorkshire and Humber, where you will need to be well-connected and regularly present. You will also work across the Northeast as part of a joined-up, cross-regional team.

DO NOT send your CV. We will only consider applicants who have submitted an application form.
