We're a charity with a mission to support migrants and disadvantaged Britons to access employment justice, and improve their social mobility. To this end, every week in London and Manchester we run a free and multilingual advice clinic. We help our beneficiaries fight employment rights breaches such as non-payment, we provide employability and benefits advice, and we help them secure their immigration status when they need it. We also recognise the importance of changing the systems that create socioeconomic disadvantage. This is why we use our frontline insights to raise the profile of migrants' inequality, and work with policymakers to address it.
The Work Rights Centre is looking for a Policy and Research Officer to join our ambitious and fast-growing team. We are a charity set up by migrants and for migrants. Every day we support people to challenge precarious work, insecure immigration status, and poverty entrenched by exclusion from public funds.
We’re looking for a colleague with a good eye for the big picture to bring these important issues to the attention of policymakers, and to help us challenge migrants’ inequality for the long term. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a strong sense of justice and experience in policy and research, who values impact, teamwork, and the autonomy of working in a small and agile team.
The Role
As Policy and Research officer, you will play a key role in our policy influencing work. Led directly by the CEO and working closely with our team of advisers, you will transform our frontline data into meaningful publications and recommendations for policy makers. This is a real opportunity to make research count, and to tackle migrants’ inequality through an ambitious policy agenda.
About you
We’re looking for a colleague who shares our commitment to equality, and impactful research. Key criteria include:
