The Accommodation Officer is a full-time post helping to run an exciting project providing stable safe accommodation for women made destitute by the asylum system, as well as facilitating our existing hosting scheme providing short term placements for men and women. The post is offered initially on an 18-month contract, but is likely to be renewable.  This is a rare opportunity to be part of a project as it develops and to shape its direction, and to make a tangible difference to the lives of people who would otherwise be street homeless or living in unsafe situations as a result of the asylum process.

JRS UK works with around 350 destitute asylum seekers in the London area, providing a range of services in a holistic model. JRS has been providing temporary accommodation through our hosting scheme ‘At Home’ since 2012, facilitating short term placements primarily with religious congregations, and in March this year we also opened a 10-bedroom house in Stockwell, South London (Emilie House) specifically for women in need of more stable housing.  The Accommodation Officer will work closely with the Accommodation Manager to oversee all placements in both our hosting scheme and Emilie House. 

JRS works in a highly relational way, and the postholder will need to be able to form strong relationships with the people we support, who we call refugee friends.

JRS UK is a Catholic organisation and our work is rooted in Catholic social teaching and imbued with the spirituality of the Jesuits. But we serve people of all faiths and none without proselytising or favour.

About Schoolreaders:

Schoolreaders was launched seven years ago in Bedfordshire with the aim of recruiting volunteers to provide one-to-one reading support for children in primary schools across the country.  Before the pandemic over 12,700 children in over 650 schools were receiving weekly reading sessions from a Schoolreaders volunteer.  Pre Covid-19, one in four children was leaving primary school unable to read to the expected Government standard.  School closures over the past year mean that many children have fallen even further behind with their reading. Our service is needed more than ever before with 10% of primary schools across the country asking Schoolreaders for reading volunteers. Building on past successes, we now have ambitious expansion plans to address the need.

A highly rewarding fundraising role where you can develop your skills managing your own portfolio of funders. Schoolreaders is a highly professional charity which values every team-member’s contribution to our team efforts. We offer a generous holiday allowance, enhanced sick pay, an employee assistance programme, plus training and development opportunities. If you want to be part of a great team in a fast-moving, welcoming environment whilst making a huge impact on children’s literacy across the country, this could be the perfect role for you!
