Who We Are 

Migrateful runs cookery classes led by refugees, asylum seekers and migrants struggling to integrate and access employment. The cookery classes provide ideal conditions not just for learning English and building confidence, but also for promoting contact and cultural exchange with the wider community.

Our Mission

Due to legal, linguistic and social barriers, finding work can be extremely difficult for many migrants. Being unable to provide for themselves and their families has significant negative effects on self-esteem and mental health. Migrateful’s mission is to empower and celebrate refugees and vulnerable migrants on their journey to integration, by supporting them to run their own cookery classes.

Why Work for Us?

Migrateful is a young, award-winning, innovative social enterprise and registered charity.

Our main operation is in London with pilot operations currently in Bristol, Kent & Brighton. Working with us you would be part of a friendly and supportive team, with drive and energy to develop the Migrateful model further, replicate it in other parts of the country and create a fairer, more integrated society.

Why now?

It’s an exciting time to join Migrateful.  We have recently conducted a piece of research to understand how successfully Migrateful classes meet the criteria for ‘contact theory’ which underpins our model. We are also in the process of publishing our first impact report. Our model has now been honed and tested and proven to work, not only in terms of the benefits it brings to vulnerable migrants but also in terms of providing an enjoyable experience for class participants. Our classes foster kinder attitudes towards migrants in the UK, and we want to maximise our impact by implementing it at scale across the country and beyond. In this role you would be in the exciting and crucial position of delivering on this strategic aim in the Bristol area.
