In addition to deputising for the Director as necessary, the successful applicant will be engaged in outreach work with asylum seekers and refugees, (for example, managing the JRS UK day centres) and carrying out support work for the destitute asylum seekers who use JRS UK services. The Assistant Director will also be responsible for the JRS volunteers who work among refugees and asylum seekers, and be engaged in promoting public awareness over the problem of forced migration as it relates to the UK, including giving talks and workshops in churches, schools, Justice and Peace groups, etc and otherwise representing JRS UK in public meetings.
