Job description
Manuel Bravo Project is a charity that provides free legal representation to asylum seekers.
The project consists of an in-house casework team undertaking asylum casework (appeals and fresh claims), an outreach project providing free initial immigration advice, and pro bono projects supported by both legal and non-legal volunteers.
We are hoping to expand our team. We seek a level 1-2 registered OISC Caseworker to provide advice and assistance on Immigration and Asylum Matters, mostly with Further Submissions. We would also expect the post-holder to advise individuals attending our Outreach services on a regular basis.
The Project is registered with The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC).
The Caseworker will be based at the Project’s main office in Leeds with a mix of in-office and remote working possible. Travel to other venues in connection with the post, will be necessary from time to time.
