Suffolk Refugee Support (SRS) aims to ensure that asylum seekers and refugees in Suffolk can live safe, integrated and fulfilling lives.

The organisation provides advice, practical support and advocacy, working with statutory services, health providers, voluntary organisations and community groups. There are growing numbers of asylum seekers being housed by the Home Office in towns and villages across Suffolk – this role is critical to ensuring that SRS meets their often-complex needs in a practical and efficient manner. This post sits at Officer level and requires an excellent level of knowledge and advice skills.
