Fifteen redundancies are being sought at UJIA as the charity implements a £400,000 economy drive after a dramatic fall in donations.
UJIA's 86-strong workforce will be cut by up to 17 per cent. Four jobs have already gone in its Manchester operation, which has relocated from its long-time Mamlock House base.
Job cuts will be made across departments but a spokesman stressed that the redundancies would not impact on UJIA projects at home or in Israel. Six new positions may result from a review of activities.
UJIA's voluntary income plummeted to £11.7 million last year from £14.45 million in 2008.
