This is an exciting time to join the Trust. As Head of Migration you will manage an established grants programme that aims to support a fair and just immigration system and a more balanced migration debate. We are entering the final year of our current strategy and are looking for someone who will both manage the existing grants and partnerships and oversee an evaluation of our migration work to date, so that this learning can feed into the development of a new organisational strategy.  This role will be of interest if you are committed to social justice and want to help the Trust build on our work to make a real difference in tackling long-term structural inequality.
