The Refugee Council is one of the leading organisations in the UK working with asylum seekers and refugees. We provide advice and assistance across a wide range of issues. These include helping asylum seekers through the asylum system, accessing housing, welfare, benefits, health, education, and employment. Our teams work with relevant agencies such as the Home Office, Local Authorities, Housing providers and more. You can find out more about the work we do, our strategy, and our values on our website.
Inclusion and accessibility:
Ensuring that the Refugee Council is an inclusive and accessible place to work is important to us. We want to enable people from diverse backgrounds to apply and thrive with us. We believe our recruitment process enables that and are also happy to make adjustments on request.
We are transforming and modernising our charity to create a sustainable operating model that delivers greater quality and impact.
We want to enable our staff to work smarter and adapt their activities to the fast-changing operating context, while also improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our staff teams. We also desire our organisational design to ensure that our future structure is grounded in our EDI strategy and enables our people to thrive. As part of that work, we are looking to restructure our services directorate and need an Organisational Design Manager to play a crucial role in shaping the structure and roles of the services staff team, recognising the impact of these changes on the wider organisation. This 12-month contract role will work alongside the Leadership team, services design and delivery experts, and the Resources Directorate to lead on the work required to design and implement new roles, structures, and job families as well as supporting the work around improving processes related to the way we structure ourselves.
Roles and responsibilities:
1. Conduct comprehensive organisational assessments (using inputs from workshops, industry comparators, and stakeholder feedback) to identify the current roles, structure and areas for improvement.
2. In collaboration with Services leadership, project manage the new organisational design strategy (that covers creating job descriptions, formalising structures, and introducing job families) to align with the Refugee Council’s strategic objectives, services right sizing design principles, and the timelines of the wider change programme.
3. Collaborate with senior leadership and wider organisation to drive change management initiatives and to embed new structures and ways of working in the wider charity.
4. Design and facilitate workshops and training sessions to support organisational development.
