About Fine Cell Work

Fine Cell Work delivers a proven, scalable model of rehabilitation by giving people in prison and post-release high-quality textile skills, combining paid work, creative engagement, and structured support to enable long-term desistance from crime.

As a charity working in criminal justice since 1997, Fine Cell Work has supported nearly 9,000 people in prison.

By providing purposeful activity, we address some of the most pressing challenges within the prison system—mental ill-health, lack of opportunity, and high rates of reoffending. Creative activity and the arts reduce reoffending because they change how people think, feel, and behave in ways that traditional prison programmes often can’t reach. We deliver a proven model of rehabilitation through high-quality needlework classes delivered in prison by committed volunteers. Prisoners produce beautiful, hand-stitched products, gaining both financial independence and a sense of pride.

Our vision is for prisoners and prison leavers to rebuild meaningful, independent, crime-free lives.

• Hybrid working available when not attending visits, meetings or appointments

 

Hours:

• 37.5 hours per week
• Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm

 

Salary: £26,796.90 per annum

International Care Network (ICN) is a Christian charity walking alongside refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants as they rebuild their lives in the UK. Every day, we see people overcome enormous challenges, develop new skills, build connections and create brighter futures and you could be part of that journey.

We're looking for a compassionate, proactive and organised Refugee Resettlement Support Worker to join our Resettlement Team and support individuals and families arriving through Government resettlement schemes. The role is predominantly focused on families resettled from Afghanistan, although support may be provided to people arriving through other schemes as well.

What you'll be doing

You'll work directly alongside refugee families as they settle into life in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and wider Dorset, helping them navigate unfamiliar systems, access services and become active members of their new communities.

Your work will include:

• Supporting individuals and families with housing, utilities and practical day-to-day needs
• Helping people access healthcare, education, benefits and other key services
• Supporting access to ESOL classes, volunteering and employment opportunities

The next, you could be preparing a property for a newly arrived family or working with local partners to ensure the right support is in place.

Why this role matters

Moving to a new country after experiencing conflict, persecution or displacement can be overwhelming.

This role helps people rebuild their lives with dignity, confidence and hope. You'll play a key part in helping families settle safely, access opportunities, understand their new community and begin to thrive.

Who we're looking for

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Have experience supporting vulnerable individuals or families
• Are compassionate, practical and solution-focused
• Can build positive relationships with people from diverse backgrounds
• Are confident working independently and managing your own caseload
• Have strong organisational and administrative skills
• Are able to maintain professional boundaries while working in a supportive and person-centred way
• Have excellent communication skills
• Are comfortable working collaboratively with a range of agencies and professionals
• Share our commitment to supporting refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants
• Are supportive of ICN's Christian ethos and values

Experience of working with refugees, asylum seekers, local authorities or resettlement programmes would be advantageous, but is not essential.

· Confidence driving across BCP and Dorset

· Willingness to obtain and maintain appropriate business insurance

· Eligibility to work in the UK

· Ability to obtain an Enhanced DBS check

Why join ICN?

You'll be joining a passionate team committed to creating communities where refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants can belong, flourish and rebuild their lives. As our services continue to grow, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to people facing significant challenges and uncertainty.

What we offer

• Salary of £26,796.90 per annum
• 25 days' annual leave plus 8 bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• Mileage paid at 45p per mile for work-related travel
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements

About Multibank Scotland

Multibank Scotland tackles poverty and waste by redistributing essential goods to people who need them. We work through a network of charities, community organisations and frontline services to provide families and individuals with items such as clothing, toiletries, bedding, baby products, household goods and other essentials.

We currently operate across Fife, Dundee, Perth and Edinburgh, and are expanding into Glasgow. This is an important period of growth for the organisation, and we are looking for an entrepreneurial, practical and relationship-focused person to help us build lasting partnerships and identify new opportunities for impact.

The Head of Partnerships and Development will lead Multibank Scotland’s partnership and development activity.

This is a senior, outward-facing role for someone who can identify opportunities, make clear and compelling asks, build trust quickly and turn ideas into practical partnerships. We are looking for someone who creates momentum and follows opportunities through, rather than someone focused solely on networking or stakeholder management.

The role will lead the day-to-day development pipeline across corporate partnerships, product supply, strategic relationships, expansion opportunities, funding proposals and supporter stewardship.
