Job description

About Care4Calais

Care4Calais is a volunteer-based charity providing essential aid and support for refugees in France and the UK. 

In the UK, we collect and distribute clothing, shoes, mobile phones, and other essential items, alongside offering social support and access to legal, medical, and educational services. In northern France, we operate year-round from Calais, working alongside local communities in Calais and Dunkirk to provide warm clothing, bedding, and services to displaced refugees living in challenging and dangerous conditions.

All of Care4Calais' operations are supported by a small, dedicated staff team, who supervise large volunteer teams to provide critical support to asylum seekers and people on the move in both the UK and France.

About the Role

Care4Calais is recruiting an Operations Support Assistant to support its humanitarian operations in the UK. You will join our team in a remote and part-time capacity, offering regular steady online support delegated by our Operations Support Officer for the UK.

The role requires a proactive, detail-oriented, IT-competent individual with strong written communication skills to offer ad-hoc support to a busy team - a team which registers UK volunteers, responds to incoming queries from the public, and manages ongoing administrative tasks for Care4Calais’ UK-based operations. 

Having an understanding of the asylum system within the UK, and therefore the environment that our volunteers work within as they support people that are seeking sanctuary here, is useful for the role. You will receive a thorough induction, and work alongside experienced team members.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide core operational support for Care4Calais’ operations in the UK alongside the UK Operations Support Officer and team of admin volunteers.

  • Communicate with and register new volunteers joining our work, both virtually and on the ground, across the UK.

  • Liaise with the public via email by responding to new incoming enquiries.

  • Manage volunteer data as part of the registration process and store it appropriately, in-keeping with GDPR and Care4Calais policy.

  • Navigate the spreadsheets and CRM systems used by our teams for volunteer information storage and management.

  • Work alongside a small team to increase the speed and efficiency of our existing processes and procedures, and bolster operations whilst new processes are introduced.

Person Specification

Essential Criteria:

  • Interest in, and alignment with, the work of Care4Calais, including justice for migrants and refugees

  • Competent digital literacy, including the ability to use Google Workspace and spreadsheets effectively

  • Strong written communication skills

  • Excellent written and spoken proficiency in English

  • An eye for detail

Desirable Criteria:

  • Administrative and/or communications work experience

  • Having an understanding of GDPR

  • Experience working with teams from diverse cultural backgrounds

Diversity and Inclusion

Care4Calais is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those with lived experience of the asylum and migration systems.

As a proud member of the Experts by Experience Employment Network (EBE), Care4Calais is dedicated to creating inclusive employment practices that recognise and accommodate the unique experiences of individuals with lived experience. We ensure that our recruitment processes are fair, transparent, and accessible to all candidates, regardless of background.

We strongly encourage individuals with lived experience to apply, particularly those who meet the essential criteria for the role.

Application process:  Please submit your CV, and you will be invited to answer some brief questions. No cover letter is required.

Closing Date:  This job ad closes on 13th March. We are actively interviewing and this job opportunity may close early if we find an appropriate candidate before the closing date. We are looking for immediate starters.

Interviews:  Will take place on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early.
