About Us

Migrant Help is a leading charity established in 1963 that delivers a range of support and advice services to people affected by displacement and exploitation across the UK. Our vision is for a global society that protects vulnerable people, treats them with respect and enables them to reach their full potential. We foster a culture in which equality, diversity and inclusion are recognised, valued and encouraged. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from; we match your skills with the needs of our organisation, as long as you share our values, vision and goals.

This role sits within Migrant Help but works closely with Migrant Help Trading Limited (MHTL), trading as Clear Voice. Clear Voice is an award-winning social enterprise and growing technology-enabled language services provider, delivering interpreting, translation and transcription services across the public, private and voluntary sectors. As a subsidiary of Migrant Help, 100% of Clear Voice's profits are donated to the charity, helping to fund vital support for refugees, people seeking asylum, survivors of modern slavery and victims of human trafficking. This is a unique opportunity to support both a purpose-driven charity and a fast-growing commercial business.
