About us The Refugee Council is the nation’s refugee charity. Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain. Born in the aftermath of World War II, our frontline services support over 14,000 refugees each year to find safety, get to know their neighbours, and enter education, training or work. We share our evidence and expertise with policymakers to help build integrated communities where everyone can contribute. Our Values Our values underpin everything we do: Inclusive : We are inclusive. We work with - not for - refugees and people seeking asylum, so they have an equal voice, co-producing projects and ensuring their expertise and experiences are at the heart of what we do. Collaborative : We are collaborative. Working with others is a priority in order to have the collective impact that is vital to achieve policy and practice reform. Courageous : We speak out when we see injustice, cruelty and unfairness. We always stand up for what we believe is the right thing to do to transform the experiences of those seeking protection in our country. Respectful : We are respectful of all those we interact with. We treat everyone – our staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, partners and people we disagree with – with the same respect, professionalism and understanding. About the role This role delivers the charity’s public affairs work, which aims to influence decision-makers to secure change in policy and practice for refugees and people seeking asylum. Staff benefits To reward our staff for the value they bring, we offer a variety of enhanced terms and conditions and a wide range of benefits, including: Training & Development Employee Assistance Programme Pension Scheme Work Life Balance Policies Employer-Sponsored Volunteering And more.
