Resettlement Worker

We are looking for an experienced Resettlement Worker to join a brilliant, forward thinking homelessness Charity within a brand new role. Due to the current pandemic many rough sleepers have been moved into hotels and temporary accommodation, and it is now time to focus on resettling people back into the community before the projects are closed so that we can work towards the end goal of ending rough sleeping.

The successful candidate will manage a caseload of former rough sleepers and offer a range of support, including; referrals to sources of specialist long term support; advice and guidance; conducting assessments to identify support needs; developing relationships to help them meet their goals; and providing person centered support.

We need your support more than ever to help former rough sleepers successfully transition and to reduce the risk of returning to the streets.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please apply ASAP for further information.

About Migrants Organise

Migrants Organise is a platform where migrants and refugees organise for power, dignity and justice. We work across the UK to bring community organisations, individuals, and institutions together on a common platform to act with, not for, migrants and refugees. We aim to make our communities stronger, more powerful and create spaces for us to speak out on issues affecting migrants and refugees, from isolation, discrimination, immigration policy, structural racism and more.

We also work with an immigration barrister who provides fortnightly immigration advice sessions to our members.

We are looking for someone with experience of working with refugees or other vulnerable groups, and a strong commitment to equality, human rights and justice . A sound understanding of mental health problems – be that through personal experience, or previous job role – is highly desirable.
