2. Skills and Experience
Administration of the AvMA Panel
The bulk of the administration and management tasks do not require specialist skills; however, assistance is provided by the PA to the CEO when required.
AvMA has a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) driven computer system throughout the organisation, the introduction has been phased and the applicant should be confident enough with sufficient IT skills to onboard the new system. The CRM works with Microsoft Dynamics 365 a data driven software solution which is intended to manage, track and store information. AvMA considers IT to be an ongoing commitment and the new panel accreditation manager should be willing to consider ways in which AvMA can maximise the impact of the CRM to improve services and data collection on key issues identified from panel related activities.
Tasks such as updating and preparing new panel application documents and report forms will require medical and legal input, the panel application interview process will involve discussions about topical medico legal issues and for this reason the post would suit someone who has a legal background, ideally qualified as a solicitor or barrister, preferably with clinical negligence accreditation. A a medical background would be helpful.
Assessment of new applications, interviews and dealing with correspondence
The Panel Accreditation Manager is primarily responsible for the assessment of new panel accreditation applications.
The role of Panel Accreditation Manager would suit someone who has practised as a claimant clinical negligence lawyer who is looking to draw on their expertise and experience in a new role.The successful applicant should be confident in assessing former peers and colleagues in a fair and impartial way.
The nature of this work is such that the Panel Accreditation Manager can come into possession of sensitive information, discretion and respecting confidentiality are key qualities for this role.
Reaccreditations
Reaccreditation assessments are done internally by the Panel Accreditation Manager, occasionally assistance can be provided by members of the internal panel assessment team.
AvMA aims to make reaccreditations more straightforward for practitioners and the new appointee will be expected to liaise with the profession to understand where they consider the biggest hurdles to reaccreditation lie and to consider how these can be overcome without compromising standards.
AvMA receives a minimum of 15 applications for reaccreditation per annum, however numbers are usually considerably higher, up to 30 per annum.It is thought that the reaccreditation process could be designed to be more streamlined and user friendly for both the applicant and in house.
Other AvMA Panel assessments
In addition to assessing AvMA panel applications and reaccreditations the Panel Accreditation Manager will need to assess applications from accredited panel members who have changed firms.
Change of firm applications tend to be straightforward if the applicant has been on the panel for some time and is going to a firm where there is another AvMA panel member but the process is more in depth for those going to a firm which does not have another AvMA panel member. The Panel Application Manager needs to be confident that the new firm can meet the minimum standards and supervision requirements required of a first time panel application.
There are about 5 applications for changes of firm rising to a maximum of 10 per annum.
Interim Reviews
From time to time first time applicants may demonstrate that they largely meet the core criteria for AvMA Panel membership but there may be some areas that require improvement.In those cases, AvMA can award the applicant AvMA panel status subject to a review sometime later.The Panel Accreditation Manager is responsible for following up that review and examining progress made.The review is an opportunity to identify if the applicant has succeeded in strengthening the areas of weakness identified.If they have not, they risk losing their AvMA panel status entirely.
There are about 3 interim reviews per annum, currently not exceeding 6.

About Refugee Action
Refugee Action exists to defend the right to safety that we all share. We’re fighting the hostility that has a devastating, daily impact on refugees and our communities. We do this with life changing support and system changing campaigns that bring us all closer to safety, dignity and hope.
We do this work because we believe in taking action. But fighting for a fair asylum system for people seeking safety is no longer enough. Decades of degrading rhetoric and policies have created a hostile environment that has systematically dehumanised refugees. We’re building a future where people forced to flee the homes they loved have their rights upheld, receive a fair decision, essential support and help to thrive here, not just survive. Our vision is that every refugee seeking safety in the UK can thrive as part of a welcoming, anti-racist society.
It's an exciting time to be part of Refugee Action as we embark on a new Theory of Change as part of our seven-year strategy. We believe the best hope for real change will come from strong, connected movements that are skilled, united, and influential, with lived experience meaningfully at the centre. Our future role as a national charity will increasingly be to support, convene, and strengthen this movement while continuing to deliver services where they have the greatest strategic impact.
About the role
You will lead Refugee Action's Major Partnerships team, building and delivering a sustainable programme that raises significant income from major donors, trusts, corporates, statutory and foundation funders.
We're looking for a hands-on leader who can hit the ground running. The organisation has been through a period of change, and this role is central to leading the team through the transition by creating clarity, stability and shared purpose – restoring confidence, establishing clear ways of working, and embedding a culture of proactive new business development.
You will take ownership of rebuilding the team's foundations – setting direction, defining processes, and creating the conditions for high performance. Alongside this, you'll actively champion a new business mindset, working with the team to identify, cultivate and convert prospective donors and funders.
Finally, you'll ensure that Refugee Action's commitment to removing barriers to power, centring lived experience and anti-racist practice is embedded across all activity.
About you
You are a self-starter and a builder – someone who takes pride in leaving teams stronger than you found them. You'll be energised rather than daunted by stepping into a team that needs direction and renewed momentum.
You will bring significant leadership experience across at least two areas of Major Donor, Corporate, Trust or Statutory fundraising, with a track record of securing and stewarding gifts of £100k+. You'll be equally confident driving new business as you are managing existing relationships – and you'll be comfortable influencing senior stakeholders internally and externally.
A proactive problem solver, you'll be skilled at bringing colleagues together, navigating complexity, and turning challenges into opportunities. You won't need the path to be clear to move forward — you'll help create it.
To succeed in the role, you will need to demonstrate:
- Leadership experience in at least two areas from Corporate, Major Donor, Trust or Statutory fundraising, delivering gifts with a value of £100k+.
- Experience of leading a team to achieve results and managing staff to ensure they are supported and challenged in their work.
- A strong track record in growing income streams, with success securing multi-year funding at the level of five or six figures+.
- Experience of managing and growing a prospect pipeline.
- Experience of working with multiple stakeholders in a complex, multi-cultural environment.
- Excellent networking skills with the ability to engage and inspire funders.
- Excellent presentation and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent Refugee Action effectively externally, including making pitches to funders.
- Experience of developing compelling funding proposals, reports, and presentations for a variety of audiences and the ability to work with complex data and materials.
- Experience of applying effective problem-solving when the situation demands.
- Excellent financial and budgetary skills with proven ability to develop budgets, monitor management accounts and understand funder finance reports.
- Commitment to removing barriers to power for people with lived experience, and commitment to anti-racist practices.
- Understanding of how the UK’s hostile refugee protection and asylum system impacts those affected by it.
Those with lived experience as a refugee are particularly encouraged to apply
