Job summary:

The Resettlement and Humanitarian Directorate leads the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities' work to support the welcome, resettlement and integration of people seeking safety in the UK through protected routes

This includes:

  • Leading within the Department on resettlement and migration policy and responding to any future humanitarian or resettlement events
  • Responsibility for the Homes for Ukraine Programme, which has seen a groundswell of support from the public to offer homes across the UK;
  • Oversight of the Hong Kong British Nationals (Overseas) Welcome Programme which supports local authorities to work closely with VCS partners to help Hong Kong BN(O) arrivals to successfully settle in the UK.

Our work includes strong collaboration with a range of government departments, local partners and agencies and the voluntary sector to ensure we are helping Ukrainians, Afghans, Hong Kong BN(O)s and other newly arrived cohorts to secure appropriate accommodation and access the services they need to integrate into their new communities.
