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

Citizens UK
Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.
Living Wage Foundation
The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.
Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting half a million people and winning over £3bn of better wages for people who need it most.
Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.
Purpose
The Living Wage Foundation has an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic team as a Communications Officer. We are looking for an exceptionally motivated and organised individual who enjoys working in a fast-paced, high-profile communications environment.
The role will support the objectives of the Living Wage Foundation and Citizens UK by communicating our work to a wide range of audiences, including senior business leaders and politicians, through a mix of communications methods: social media, newsletters, media outlets, website and internal communications channels. The role will be predominantly focused on work and wages activity through the Living Wage Foundation, but there will be opportunities to support cross-Citizens UK communications activity including for example: campaigns on housing, refugees and more.
This post will be joining a Communications team that spans media, digital communications, research and events, with colleagues based across the UK with monthly in-person team meetings.
The post holder will support the delivery of our media and press office activity, including monitoring media coverage, supporting with journalist enquiries, and helping to develop proactive press campaigns to build awareness of the Living Wage Foundation’s work. They will also support the creation of written and visual content across our channels and help monitor and manage our social media presence on a day-to-day basis. The role will work closely to support the Communications team’s work and help communicate the work of the wider-team and our employer network.
The role is also responsible for key communications with our network of over 16,000 accredited Living Wage Employers, including our monthly newsletters, blogs, videos and case studies to celebrate our network of accredited employers
The position would suit an applicant with strong written and communication skills, with some experience of working within a communications team and a passion for press work, social media and content creation.

The Senior Legacy Manager will lead the development and delivery of London’s Air Ambulance Charity’s legacy programme, ensuring legacy giving is embedded across fundraising and marketing activity and is front of mind across the organisation.
This role is responsible for managing our legacy marketing programme, working closely with the marketing team to deliver compelling, sensitive and effective activity. The postholder will also oversee our outsourced legacy administration partner, ensuring legacy gifts are processed efficiently, compliantly and in line with best practice, through regular performance monitoring and review.
Working across the Fundraising and Marketing Directorate, the Senior Legacy Manager will champion legacies as a vital form of support, collaborating closely with all teams in the directorate. This will include working with the major donor team to identify and develop high-value legacy opportunities and supporting the community engagement team to integrate in-memory and legacy messaging into the community talks programme and engagement activity within the community.
The role also plays a key part in connecting our legacy and in-memory programmes, working with the community engagement team and the Deputy Director to develop a joined up in-memory strategy that ensures a coherent and compassionate supporter experience.
