Citizens UK and the NRPF Partnership Citizens UK We are Citizens UK. We're working together to make change on the issues that matter, from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We bring together everyday people and local organisations to build a better, fairer society. Too often communities are left out of decisions that affect their lives, but we know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We develop local leaders who find solutions to problems big and small and hold power-holders to account. We work with hundreds of civil society organisations, who we call our members - schools, universities, faith groups, charities, unions and more - to help them win change. Over the last 30 years, we've worked in alliance with 500+ members, trained 4,000+ community leaders, accredited 13,000 Living Wage employers, and won hundreds of campaigns. NRPF Partnership The NRPF partnership was set up in 2023 and is being developed by Citizens UK , Migration Exchange , and Praxis .

Expanding the movement and building power, using incremental wins to build towards broader change towards the goal of ending NRPF. The Person and the Role 100,000s people in our communities have put down roots in the UK but are denied access to the welfare safety net (No Recourse to Public Funds).

Citizens UK and the NRPF Partnership Citizens UK We are Citizens UK. We're working together to make change on the issues that matter, from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We bring together everyday people and local organisations to build a better, fairer society. Too often communities are left out of decisions that affect their lives, but we know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We develop local leaders who find solutions to problems big and small and hold power-holders to account. We work with hundreds of civil society organisations, who we call our members - schools, universities, faith groups, charities, unions and more - to help them win change. Over the last 30 years, we've worked in alliance with 500+ members, trained 4,000+ community leaders, accredited 13,000 Living Wage employers, and won hundreds of campaigns. NRPF Partnership The NRPF partnership was set up in 2023 and is being developed by Citizens UK , Migration Exchange , and Praxis . We are working to build the necessary infrastructure for collaboration across a range of organisations, amplify their work, and build power to win change against the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) condition. You can learn more about the overall initiative via our FAQs page . Each partner contributes staff capacity and will work closely with the appointed person to ensure a positive, professional and supportive culture. The Partnership centres around: Placing decision-making power and strategic vision in the hands of people doing the work (frontline staff and people with lived experience), via a steering group and working groups. Establishing a strategic pooled fund so that the steering group has sufficient budget to guide the collaboration, act, identify and seize political opportunities, and facilitate active participation of everyone involved. Expanding the movement and building power, using incremental wins to build towards broader change towards the goal of ending NRPF. The Person and the Role 100,000s people in our communities have put down roots in the UK but are denied access to the welfare safety net (No Recourse to Public Funds). Citizens UK has worked with Migration Exchange and Praxis to raise over £2m to develop a 5 year partnership to enable the movement to end NRPF. This Senior Project role will be a core part of the support to the steering group of the partnership to make sure it runs effectively and achieves its potential. If you're angry about injustice in the immigration system, have good communication and relationship building skills and self organised - apply below. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who have been through the immigration system themselves. We are looking for a values-driven and experienced person with exceptional skills and knowledge in project management, relationship-building, and community organising.
