Full-time, 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
New Start is a family run not-for-profit organisation providing residential and supported accommodation services for vulnerable adults, families, and young people.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Refugee Resettlement Worker to promote the integration, and future resettlement of refugees into UK society. You will assist all refugees in overcoming any barriers they may face adapting to life in the UK. This will include identifying and allocating suitable accommodation within the scheme, registering them with GP and Dental services, assisting with benefits applications and seeking an ESOL course to assist with language barriers.
The successful candidate must have previous experience of working with vulnerable migrant groups and an awareness of the challenges faced by asylum seekers and/or refugees navigating the journey of integration into UK life. Excellent communication and good interpersonal skills are essential for the role to assist with ongoing language barrier challenges, and an additional language would be beneficial for the post, but not essential as the service has access to internal and external language support services to assist staff when required.
