The post holder will be flexible and skilled, with an essential interest in and experience of working with migrant and refugee clients, many of whom have additional complex needs. Voices in Exile is currently at the beginning of a very exciting project partnering with Jo Wilding, Associate Professor in public and migration law and co-lead at the Migrant Law Clinic at the University of Sussex. We aim to create a sustainable relationship between ViE and MLC which offers a more structured pipeline for new immigration advisers and a training route into the sector for graduates. In addition to your casework, you will work alongside our existing Level 2 immigration advisor and our advice and casework manager to train and support a small group of undergraduates in the 3rd year of their Law degree at Sussex. As part of our immigration team, you will also have the opportunity to participate in the set-up stage and evaluation of the project as we co-develop the programme with Jo.
