Recruitment: Finance Officer (Part-time)

About Us

Hibiscus Initiatives (Hibiscus) is a passionate, women-centred organisation, having delivered high impact advocacy and advice services for 35 years to those at the intersection of the criminal justice and immigration systems. Hibiscus enables marginalised migrant women trapped in the immigration and justice system to rebuild their lives. 

We have distinct expertise in delivering holistic, trauma-informed, and gender-responsive intervention services across four specialist service areas: prisons, international resettlement, community resettlement, and anti-trafficking. 

As an organisation working on racial and gender justice and migrants’ rights Hibiscus is particularly keen to attract talent from Black and minoritised communities and those with lived experience of immigration restrictions, the criminal justice systems, and/or gender-based violence.
