Following significant growth in recent years, you’ll build on strong foundations to support the organisation’s sustainability. You’ll bring strategic vision, excellent stakeholder management skills and a collaborative approach to support the delivery of RLS’s new strategic plan.
However this role goes beyond fundraising. You’ll also be a key member of our Management Team and work closely with our Executive Director, Legal Director and board of trustees to shape the future of the organisation. This is therefore a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to develop their senior management skills.

About Refugee Legal Support (RLS)
Our structure
Refugee Legal Support (RLS) operates as a registered organisation in both the UK and Greece, reflecting our international scope and impact.

Refugee Legal Support is an international legal support organisation, with operations in Greece, the UK and Northern France.

Our casework is a tool to tackle individual and systemic injustice in immigration systems.
We strive to develop inclusive, sustainable and regenerative ways of working which are directly informed by those with lived migration experience. We support the global movement that fights entrenched inequalities, racism and other forms of discrimination that force people to migrate. In doing so we recognise that immigration systems are weighted against those forced to migrate and stand in opposition to hostile policies, along with all forms of violence against people compelled to migrate.
We’re specialised and use our expertise for strategic impact. We strive to be thorough and aim for precision and accuracy in all of our work. In a fast changing environment we use our experience and expertise to move quickly to meet needs, but to also think beyond the immediate context and push for positive systemic change.
We continuously think and challenge ourselves in how we develop our anti-racist practice and empower refugee leadership. We recognise that climate justice and migrant struggles are interconnected and view our work through this lens.

About CARE
CARE International is a global humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations.
