Voices in Exile works with refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants with no recourse to public funds in Brighton & Hove, East and West Sussex. We offer both practical and legal support including generalist advice, support to people on resettlement programmes and specialist immigration casework for those who would otherwise be unable to access justice.
As an organisation we are committed to encouraging people to find positive ways to address their own needs, build skills and resilience, and work towards integration in the UK. Our vision is of social justice, positive wellbeing and improved quality of life for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants at risk.
We are looking for a new leader, who can join our amazing team of staff and volunteers and nurture the organisation, so that it continues to thrive. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone to build on our successes and achievements, which includes supporting thousands of people in the community of Brighton & Hove, East and West Sussex with our vital services and being a prominent voice for change within the field in which we work.
We are seeking an individual who can build upon our existing achievements including influencing our funders, our community and partner organisations to push forward our agenda for positive change. The Director we are looking for will share our values of human rights and an approach that is collaborative, empowering, pragmatic and committed.
Supported by a committed Board of Trustees you will work in partnership with others to build a fairer and more caring society. We are extremely proud of Voices’ work as the only provider of free, regulated, out-of-scope immigration advice in the region. There is an effective and enthusiastic team in place, which a new leader will have the scope to develop as they assist in shaping the next phase of our strategic direction.
We believe passionately in individuals telling their own stories to achieve social change. We particularly welcome applications from individuals with a refugee background with lived experience of the issues we’re tackling.
