BENEFITS OF THE ROLE

You will work in a charity that has real impact on lives of disadvantaged Eastern Europeans.

EERC is in a truly unique position to influence decision-makers in relation to the implementation of the leaving of the EU, and a new immigration system and all other relevant systems to follow after Brexit. There is no other charity like EERC and this is an opportunity to join our team. We have been invited to provide evidence to a number of key stakeholders, including Home Office, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, House of Commons' Select Committees; and are regularly contacted by the media to comment on key policy proposals / developments.

You will work with a team of dedicated, expertly trained professionals who are guided by our mission to support the less fortunate of us regardless of changes ahead. We work together and expect you to equally contribute your skills and passion to our joint efforts.

You will support the Management Committee and the CEO in developing our charity further. That includes new services and users, new ways of delivery and geographical expansion. This role is fundamental for our ability to collect information and data from the frontline delivery for purposes of furthering our mission.

EXPECTATIONS FROM CANDIDATES

In this role, you will have experience of:

  • Project management, either as a project manager or an officer responsible for project delivery. Experience in progress and financial reporting is essential in this role.
    Experience in advice settings, such as advice charities or legal firms, is a strong advantage.
  • Service delivery to vulnerable or disadvantaged people, in particular migrants but not limited to, either as a paid member of staff or a volunteer.
  • Working knowledge and understanding of governance, day-to-day project governance and compliance issues. You will advise the CEO and the Management Committee on alterations and updating of organisational policies and procedures. You will be responsible for compliance to regulatory and legal requirements, including relevant insurance and data protection systems.
    Experience as an administrator of a Salesforce database is an advantage.
  • Good understanding and experience of Human Resources Management. That includes policies, procedures, advice to the role design, and supervision and support of managers.
    Experience in a dedicated HR management capacity is a strong advantage.
  • Experience in financial management, in particular costing and budget management, income and expenditure management, and financial reporting.
    Experience in organisational-level financial management is a strong advantage.
