Hours: 35 hours per week (full time).
Location: Home-based focussed around Cardiff and Newport, with regular travel across Wales and occasional travel to England.
Contract: Currently funded until December 2028.
Salary: £36,191.
About us
Housing Justice unites diverse communities to build personal connections, help people out of homelessness, and create justice in the housing system. Our vision is of a community where everyone has a safe and stable home, and a feeling they belong.
Our Seeking Sanctuary project is a Wales-based initiative delivering innovative housing solutions and community-led support for people seeking sanctuary. We combine community hosting, tenancy-based housing, and advocacy to help build a Nation of Sanctuary.
About the role
Reporting directly to the Sanctuary Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of our accommodation pathways, ensuring the best possible outcomes for destitute migrants and newly granted refugees.
This is a dynamic, frontline casework role that spans three core areas of our housing provision:
-
The Hosting Project: Supporting people seeking sanctuary who have no recourse to public funds by giving them a welcoming, safe place to stay in the home of one of our volunteer hosts.
-
Refugee Lodgings: Helping to provide a safe and supported housing option for newly granted refugees at risk of homelessness by matching them with people who have a spare room.
-
Transitional Housing: Providing vital tenancy sustainment support for newly granted refugees transitioning into our shared accommodation properties.
About you
We are seeking a dedicated, highly organised, and empathetic professional with proven experience working directly with people experiencing homelessness, particularly asylum seekers and forced migrants.
You will have a strong working knowledge of the housing system, the UK welfare system (including Universal Credit and Housing Benefit), and how to support people to access their entitlements. Because this role requires managing complex casework and navigating cultural nuances, you must possess strong interpersonal skills, particularly when working with vulnerable people or those with English as a second language.
If you are a creative problem-solver who is passionate about empowering refugees and building sustainable housing pathways, we want to hear from you.
Benefits
-
29 days annual leave, 3 of which are fixed between Christmas and New Year.
-
This is in addition to bank holidays and pro-rata if part time.
-
After 3 years of service, you are entitled to one additional day of holiday for each additional year of service, up to a maximum of 5 additional days, pro-rata if part time.
-
We offer flexible working. Not all posts can be made flexible, but where possible we operate core hours of 10am - 3pm, with employees able to flex their working day around these.
-
Any flexibility is at the discretion of the line manager and relevant senior manager.
-
As this role is offered as Home Working, we will provide some financial support to get you set up with appropriate equipment.
-
We offer an employee assistance programme through Spectrum Life, which can be used by you and your family for a range of advice and support.
-
We offer a cycle-to-work scheme.
