Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
The Afghanistan Citizen’s Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) provides a safe and legal route for some of the most vulnerable and at-risk people from Afghanistan to come to the United Kingdom and rebuild their lives. The UK Government has committed to welcoming up to 20,000 people who are at risk through the ACRS. IOM facilitates pre-departure preparation activities for people arriving under the ACRS including but not limited to the provision of migration health assessments, UK Cultural Orientation (UKCO) and organised movement assistance.
IOM’s experience in facilitating various resettlement programmes has shown that investment in providing refugees with accurate and relevant information about their resettlement and integration pre- departure is vital in enhancing the integration process upon arrival.
Integration is a two-way process, however, working best when both refugees and those in receiving communities have a good understanding of each other’s expectations, cultural differences, and practices. IOM UK therefore launched its Information Sessions in May 2016 to increase local knowledge of the refugee communities being resettled in the UK, thereby helping to reduce the adjustment period for refugees and supporting strong, appropriate integration services.
Under the general supervision of the National Project Coordinator, and in direct consultation with Project Coordinator Resettlement and Local Authority Engagement, IOM Missions overseas, and relevant external stakeholders, the Project Associate (Refugee Information Sessions) will assist in the preparation and delivery of Information Sessions and associated capacity building workshops activities implemented by IOM London as part of the ACRS.

Since the inception of IOM in 1951, Movement Operations have been and continue to be a fundamental pillar of the Organization’s work. The organized movement of persons in need of international migration assistance is a primary mandate of the Organization and a cornerstone of IOM’s operations. Movement Operations Units in various IOM Country Offices, coordinated under the Resettlement and Movement Management (RMM) Division in the Department of Mobility Pathways and Inclusion at IOM’s Geneva Headquarters, are responsible for all aspects of travel for migrants and refugees under IOM’s auspices, in accordance with the various framework agreements with resettlement and receiving Governments and partners across the spectrum of the Organization's programmes.
Under the direct supervision of Head of Programmes, and working in close coordination with the National Resettlement and Complementary Pathways Officer, the Senior Project Associate (RMM Monitoring and Compliance) will support monitoring the effectiveness of UK Resettlement and Complementary Pathways Programmes and contribute to compliance with relevant programmatic and organizational frameworks.
