Project & Policy Support Officer - Migration
Greater Manchester | Closing date: 28 April 2026 | Interviews: 6, 7 & 11th May
Your role:
The post holder will contribute to delivery of the goals of the GMCA migration programme, as part of the wider Homelessness and Migration team, through the provision of a high-quality project and policy support across a range of programmes in the migration, asylum and integration space.
The postholder will provide specific support to our commissioned migrant homelessness programmes, including the Restricted Eligibility Support Service and services tackling homelessness from the asylum system. They will work in collaboration with Government, local authority and community partners to contribute to the ambitious change mission of the team.
About you:
We are looking for someone with a real interest in making a difference through local and regional government and in partnership with the voluntary, faith and community sectors, who can contribute to this policy area with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. You will work in a team to support policy and projects and use your initiative and strong organisational, planning and communications skills on a regular basis. You will need to be able to juggle and prioritise competing demands and communicate clearly. Passion and interest in our mission is important, but you do not need to be a subject expert. You will be able and willing to learn, using a range of internal systems and processes to organise and support delivery. You will be able to manage your own workload and take part in continuous professional development activities to improve your own learning.

Hybrid working
This role is part of GMCA’s hybrid working scheme. As part of our commitment to ‘Build Back Fairer’ in Greater Manchester following the Covid-19 pandemic, we have evolved our management methods by trusting and empowering staff to deliver their work in the best way that suits the business and their individual needs, and supports health and wellbeing. Our hybrid working policy sets out a flexible approach, combining attendance at our on-site locations with remote working, typically from home; the location of work is primarily dictated by the needs of the business: ‘Do what is right for you and the business on that day’. If appointed to the role you will work with your manager to agree and regularly review the best working pattern for you, your team and your work.
