Job description

About us

The Refugee Council is the nation’s refugee charity. Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain. Born in the aftermath of World War II, our frontline services support over 14,000 refugees each year to find safety, get to know their neighbours, and enter education, training or work. We share our evidence and expertise with policymakers to help build integrated communities where everyone can contribute.

About the role

The UK government’s resettlement programmes (such as the UKRS, ARAP as well as other UK Resettlement Schemes) support refugees who are selected and processed in the region of origin and brought to the UK with their status already determined. Under this scheme, a specific quota of refugees will be coming to the UK for resettlement.

The Refugee Council resettlement team provides advice and support for resettled refugees to help them adjust to live in the UK, access services and mainstream provision and establish community links. Working closely with local stakeholders and in partnership with other voluntary sector agencies running similar services, the Refugee Council resettlement team promotes both the integration and independence of this group. This post will work with refugees at different stages of the resettlement programme including those who have newly arrived and others who have lived in the UK for up to 5 years.

The Refugee Council has agreed to work in partnership with Migration Yorkshire and Local Authorities across Yorkshire and Humberside to deliver the regional programme. The post holder will be working from the Leeds office covering Wakefield, York and North Yorkshire and will report to the Area Managers.

Contract: Fixed term until March 2026.

Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

  • To provide a safe and welcoming environment for refugees ensuring that standards are maintained, monitored and that the service meets all statutory and contractual requirements.
  • To provide advice and support in line with individual client support plans in relation to accessing statutory, voluntary and mainstream services. This includes education (schools and colleges), welfare benefits, housing and health services.
  • To assist refugees who may be in a confused or distressed state in understanding systems in the UK and become familiar with their local environment.

Staff benefits

To reward our staff for the value they bring, we offer a variety of enhanced terms and conditions and a wide range of benefits, including:

  • Training & Development
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Pension Scheme
  • Work Life Balance Policies
  • Employer-Sponsored Volunteering
  • And more.
