About the role
We are seeking an experienced and qualified immigration advisor to oversee the strategic direction of our casework and systemic work for the coming year.
The Unity Project (TUP) supports people who are facing poverty and homelessness because their immigration status allows them ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF). We believe NRPF should not exist and we are working to end it. Until then, we seek to minimise its impact by supporting people to make the ‘change of conditions’ (CoC) application to access public funds. As part of this work, we continually develop new casework approaches to make CoCs more accessible to more people. By taking a strategic approach to our casework, we have opened up new routes for people to move through the process, and achieved greater recognition of groups with particular needs. We have also supported numerous strategic legal challenges which have prompted significant changes to the immigration rules and guidance related to CoCs.
In this cover role, you will lead The Unity Project’s strategic work to improve the accessibility of the CoC process. You will be responsive to changes in the external context and identify strategic priorities to focus on in our casework. You will hold our strategic external relationships, in particular with law firms, advice agencies and Home Office representatives, and you will oversee our strategic litigation support. You will share our expertise with the sector through second-tier advice, training workshops and peer support forums. Our strategic work is rooted in direct casework, and so this will also be part of your role. You will be responsible for TUP’s casework provision for applicants who submit their own CoC applications independently, and you will support with other strategically significant cases as required.
About The Unity Project
Who we are
The Unity Project is a small charity that supports people with ‘Change of Conditions’ (CoC) applications required for access to public funds.
Why we exist
We want everyone living in the UK to have equal access to the welfare system. We exist to challenge the 'no recourse to public funds' (NRPF) policy in order to end it and, until then, minimise its impact.
Our values
We aim to be:
- Representative of and accountable to people who are navigating or have navigated the systems we want to change.
- Sustainable, so we can continue our work as long as it is needed.
- Trauma informed, recognising the impact of prior traumatic experiences and promoting an organisational culture which is safe, transparent, collaborative and responds empathically to each individual’s needs.
- Rooted in community, as we believe that strength comes from relationships of solidarity and mutual support.
- Equitable to all who give their time to the project.
- Tenacious, innovative, reflective and adaptable in our casework.
Benefits
- Salary - £46,849 pro rata
- Flexibility - We work together in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Beyond that we can be flexible about how you meet your hours.
- Annual leave - 35 days inclusive of bank holidays, plus a regular Christmas closure period (subject to board approval)
- Pension - 5% employee contribution, 8% employer contribution
- Clinical supervision - All staff have access to monthly clinical supervision
- Wellbeing - All staff have a personal wellbeing budget to spend as they need
- Professional development - We organise regular all-staff training sessions to address needs identified by the team, and every staff member has an individual training budget for their own professional development. We aim to support all staff to grow and shape their roles in line with their career aspirations.
- Immigration support - On a case by case basis, we may be able to offer legal assistance with the immigration applications necessary to sustain this employment in compliance with UK immigration law.
- Working environment - We are a small and friendly team of staff and volunteers. We believe that effective opposition to the hostile environment is rooted in our relationships with each other and our community.

CamRARE is on a mission to make life with a rare condition easier through connection, collaboration and community.
Applications close: 9 a.m. Monday 9th March 2026
Location: Hybrid (with in person meetings in Cambridge and across the UK)
Who we are
CamRARE are a well-established, well-respected charity with a strong track record of impact over the past decade. We exist, as there are over 10,000 rare conditions that affect 400 million people globally. Receiving a diagnosis can take years. Most rare diseases have no treatment and often poorly coordinated care.
Our goal is to have a strong collective voice in improving services and influencing policy so that families affected by rare conditions can access good healthcare, find a diagnosis, reach the right treatment or support.
We are now at a pivotal point of growth. We are investing in the next phase of our development, supported by a strong budget and a healthy level of unrestricted reserves. This growth brings opportunity, but also responsibility.
We need a Chief Executive who can lead our fundraising strategy, build a sustainable business plan and grow our reach and visibility so that more families can access support.
A distinctive feature of our work is that we connect two pillars that are often kept separate: community and research. Through our unique in-person community, we bring families together in a way that is rare in this field. In parallel, we are building an ambitious research focus, including an emerging platform designed to connect patients and researchers, support new ideas, and strengthen patient-led research. We believe families and researchers achieve more when they work together, and we are proud to be a trusted connector with a broad network.
Leading CamRARE
As Chief Executive, you will provide strategic leadership for the charity, oversee governance and operations, develop and execute the strategy set by the Board of Trustees, and build key external partnerships. This role leads fundraising efforts and develops high-level external stakeholder relationships with Government bodies, including healthcare organisations/departments, Industry, patient and charity organisations, and Research Institutions involved in rare disease.
This is a key role to build, strengthen and nurture the charity's connection with the rare disease community, empowering them and fostering an inclusive and supportive network.
We are looking for someone who can:
- Lead the next chapter of our strategy with the Board, translating ambition into clear priorities and a deliverable plan
- Develop and drive a compelling fundraising and income generation strategy, including exploring novel and commercial routes where appropriate
- Be the public face and voice of the charity, with the ability to listen deeply to families and communicate their needs with clarity and credibility
- Sustain, enhance and grow community support, including improving reach into underserved areas and strengthening what we offer across key life stages
- Strengthen and stabilise funding for our research work, including the next phase of our research network platform and services that can generate income from research partners
- Build confident, values-led leadership across the staff team, with strong emotional intelligence and a people-first approach
About you
We are open-minded about background, but we expect you to bring:
- A strong track record of revenue generation, fundraising, and building sustainable income
- Strategic leadership capability, with the creativity and judgement to stay focused and avoid diluting impact
- Confidence in representing an organisation externally, including public speaking and partnership-building
- High emotional intelligence and a leadership style that puts people first
- Comfort working in a flexible pattern, with regular in-person presence at events in Cambridge, London and across the UK (and occasionally Europe)
Working pattern and accessibility
The role is flexible, with an expectation of roughly 60% remote working and 40% in person, including travel for events and meetings.
We are also open to discussing options such as compressed hours or an 0.8 FTE arrangement, depending on the candidate and what will set the role up for success.
We are committed to inclusion and accessibility and can offer adjustments throughout the process. We also have experience supporting colleagues through Access to Work.
Why this opportunity?
This is a CEO role with genuine scope to shape the next five years. You will inherit a strong foundation, a committed Board, and a team that cares deeply about families and impact. If you are motivated by growth, visibility, and meaningful change, you will find huge purpose here.
