Thank you for your interest in the role of Asia Programme Officer at Anti-Slavery International.

We are the world’s oldest human rights organisation and our vision is a world free from slavery. We believe that modern slavery is a contemporary issue of the highest importance and we are determined to work with others to ensure people can be free from slavery across the world.

The Asia Programme Officer is responsible for coordinating and supporting the implementation of the Asia Programme which is overseen by the Programmes Manager. Currently the Asia Programme includes projects which raise the awareness of and supports survivors of child sexual exploitation and the rehabilitation of bonded labourers.

Whilst these projects are based in Nepal there is also a global safe migration project, targeting migrant garment factory workers from source countries in Asia and Africa along the migratory corridor to the destination country.

The successful candidate will facilitate the Asia project deliverables and activities (including advocacy, research, publications, capacity trainings, planning meetings, evaluations) effectively and efficiently working through in-country partners as well as monitoring project progress and drafting donor reports. The role will support the Programme team in the administration of a growing range of anti-slavery projects and initiatives.

This exciting position brings lots of potential for increased responsibility which requires a high level of organisation. With a complex programme of work to deliver you will need to be highly organised with the ability to use your own initiative with minimal supervision. We are looking for someone who can embody our values and who shares our passion for fighting slavery in monitoring slavery-related developments in Asia.

The role will initially be three days per weeks / 21 hours for 12 months with the possibility of increasing in hours and or contract length at a later stage, funding permitting. Anti-Slavery International offers a flexible, friendly working environment, a committed team of staff, and the opportunity to work to combat serious human rights abuses, whilst making a real difference to the lives of people who are most excluded from society.

If you think this role fits with your expertise and ambition, we would love to hear from you.

The Passage, in partnership with Westminster City Council, are piloting the role of modern slavery navigator for the homelessness to navigate through the victim’s journey to support and recovery. The project will capture data in terms of numbers of homeless people who are victims of modern slavery and also the impact of taking a navigator approach to victim support. The project has the initial duration of one year but it is hoped it will have a life well beyond the pilot as the project develops.

The Modern Slavery Navigator will support the Anti-Slavery Coordinator while providing front-line support to victims. The Navigator will take potential victims of modern slavery step-by-step through the victim support process until they are in a safe place (i.e. in the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and/or safe assisted voluntary return). Working closely with homelessness services in Westminster, their work will focus on vulnerable adults safeguarding and safety in pre-NRM, post-NRM and no-NRM situations (i.e. service users who refuse to enter the NRM but are nevertheless victims of modern slavery), while taking on board the risk of re-trafficking and/or further exploitation.

The Navigator will take on the role of advocate ensuring victims have their voice heard and their desired outcomes are attained. The role also involves accessing expert legal advice to challenge poor legal decisions, to access criminal justice systems and to facilitate the victim’s access to services.

The successful candidate will have experience of working with vulnerable people who present with complex support needs in a person-centred and psychologically informed way and will also have excellent knowledge of modern slavery, the Modern Slavery Act, the National Referral Mechanism and the Human Trafficking Foundation Survivor Care Standards.

The Passage strives to be an equal opportunities employer. Benefits include 33 days annual leave including bank holidays, Group Pension Plan, Life Assurance and Cycle to Work Schemes.

You will be part of a dedicated, experienced, and friendly team consisting of seven ISVAs. The ISVAs meet fortnightly for peer support and work collaboratively with each other to share knowledge. Each ISVA has a lead area of responsibility and this role will be leading on mental health issues, although you will have a caseload supporting a range of clients.

Due to the nature of this role, the ISVA will have a reduced maximum number of clients to accommodate the engagement with other agencies and supporting a higher number of clients who have presented with complex mental health issues.

You will be provided with fortnightly clinical supervision and attend monthly one-to-one meetings with the ISVA team leader. The ISVA will be based at Guildford RASASC but will be expected to travel throughout Surrey.

• To provide advice and support across a wide range of issues, such as housing, health and education, that will help to support the survivor and ensure their ongoing safety in the aftermath of the abuse.
• Manage caseload and maintain necessary case files and records including monitoring information as required under funding conditions and by RASASC.
• To provide expert advice and support in relation to issues and the impact of rape and sexual abuse on this client group to other members of the ISVA team as well as the wider RASASC team.
• To build links with, and work in partnership, with a range of local agencies, statutory and voluntary services to provide best support for survivors.
