Background
Voices in Exile is a registered charity that works with refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants with no recourse to public funds in Brighton & Hove, East and West Sussex. We offer practical and legal support including generalist advice and specialist immigration casework for those who would otherwise be unable to access justice. As part of our holistic approach we also advocate for, accompany and enable people to access services, connect with communities, and develop their own potential through a programme of learning and creative activities. Post holders will form a key part of a small, committed team working to develop Voices' services and activities at a critical point of growth for the organisation.
Office Administrator
We are looking for an efficient, friendly office administrator to manage our reception office, perform a range of key admin and finance admin duties. As the first point of contact for clients, visitors and callers to Voices, this is a crucial role and requires the ability to be welcoming, patient and responsive while multi-tasking and paying a high level of attention to the detail of administration and processes. The post holder will need to be able to step immediately into a busy office and frontline advice environment with the necessary confidence, skills and knowledge to manage both reception and back-office functions and a range of competing day-to-day and longer-term admin priorities with minimal supervision, working from our premises in Brighton. Some knowledge of the support needs of refugees and migrants and experience of working in the voluntary sector would be desirable; good admin skills together with openness, empathy and a willingness to learn are essential. We actively welcome applications from those with lived and relevant experience – please see the attached job description and person specification.
This is a front-facing role and so will need to be predominantly office-based, but occasional home or remote working can be considered where needed.
