The postholder will be responsible for strategic development and the effective operation of HMC’s services and have oversight of the organisation’s finance, administration and governance. The postholder will take overall responsibility for staffing, and line-manage a team of staff.

We particularly welcome and encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals, those who are migrants or refugees, and who have lived experience of the impact of immigration policy and practice.

We will acknowledge receipt of all applications. However, we will only respond further to those who are shortlisted for interview. If you have not heard from us within two weeks of the closing date, please assume you have not been successful.

Immigration Advisor

This is a new role, as investing in in-house legal capacity is a long-term strategic priority for HMC. By employing an in-house Immigration Advisor, the aim is to provide advice and legal representation for visitors who would otherwise struggle to access the legal advice they need or where further delay to find a representative would be particularly detrimental. We have secured funding for three years from Trust for London to employ an Immigration Advisor and have prepared an application to register with OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner).

Hours: 35 hours per week

Salary: NJC Scale 25 to 27 plus LW. Starting at point 25 i.e. £33,146 pa

Qualification: OISC L3 or solicitor or IAAS Level 2

To apply, please

Deadline for applications: Monday  31 January 2022, at midnight

We particularly welcome and encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals, those who are migrants or refugees, and who have lived experience of the impact of immigration policy and practice.

We will acknowledge receipt of all applications. However, we will only respond further to those who are shortlisted for interview. If you have not heard from us within two weeks of the closing date, please assume you have not been successful.
