About the candidate
About Rainbow Haven
Rainbow Haven is based in Gorton, Manchester. We are a community service for refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants needing support. We have a weekly open-access advice drop-in session, with follow-on appointments. At our drop-in sessions we welcome people to our centre and offer advice and information, hot lunches and social/well-being activities. We offer a range of other well-being, educational and social activities, including classes in digital skills and ESOL and other targeted support to help people into further education or employment; and opportunities for particularly isolated groups such as new mothers, to connect with each other and with relevant professional services.
Our service users come from many different countries and speak many languages.
We receive funding from a wide range of charitable foundations, from local authorities and through partnerships with other local charities in the sector.
Rainbow Haven is a project of The East Manchester Community Association (registered charity 1131060).
Our team
Our friendly staff team has 10 permanent members. We also offer short-term ‘Apprentice’ placements so that people new to the country can have a first experience of working in the UK. We have over 40 volunteers who play a vital role in delivering our services; many volunteers move on to further training and employment. We host social work students on placements who work with our advice team,
Our values
We provide a welcoming, inclusive workplace and have diverse teams of staff and volunteers. Many of our staff, volunteers and Trustees are from refugee and migrant backgrounds themselves and speak different community languages as well as English. We promote opportunities to people who might feel excluded from other workplaces due to their experiences of migration and the immigration system and their lack of work experience in the UK.
