Right to Remain is seeking a consultant to help scope for a new part-time communications post that we plan to recruit for and fill in 2026.  

We are a migration justice organisation which punches above our weight. We uniquely combine public legal education, strategic convening and lived-experience-led campaigning and organising work, to boost the migration justice movement. We would like to increase our impact by adding a communications function to our team. 

The total budget for this consultancy work is £2000, spread over at least 5 days. This is a small piece of work that needs to be completed before the end of January. 

We expect this consultancy work to include, for example, a brief review of our current communications capacity, capability and methodologies, identification of strengths and weaknesses, outline of a practical and pragmatic communications work set-up that is proportionate with the size of the organisation and the available budget (we have recently secured funding for a part-time communications role for about 12 months).

As deliverables, we expect a brief report on Right to Remain’s organisational communications needs and capability assessment, your recommendations for the organisation’s communications work and a draft communications officer job description and person specification. 

It is important that the consultant understands and grasps the unique ethos and approach of Right to Remain that sets us apart from industry peers. We would like to work with someone who is already familiar with the asylum and migration field but does not come with any preconception as to how organisations in the field should communicate. Knowledge of other social justice areas, social movements and radical grassroots groups is strongly encouraged.

If you are interested, please send us your CV listing relevant consultancy work you have previously undertaken and a one-page expression of interest document, briefly outlining the steps you plan to take to complete this assignment. 

If you have any questions, please contact Esther Doherty, Engagement Officer at esther(at)righttoremain.org.uk who can arrange a chat with Eiri Ohtani, Director, in the week commencing on 5 January 2026. The deadline for the applications is 12 January 2026. We will be reviewing the applications on a rolling basis and might appoint a suitable consultant before 12 January. The work needs to be finished before the end of January. Applications can be sent to eiri(at)righttoremain.org.uk
