Refuge & Asylum Seeker Outreach and Support Worker

3 weeks ago

Cornwall, United Kingdom Cornwall Council Full time

Do you love working with people and championing inclusion and diversity? We have an exciting opportunity for 5 Refugee and Asylum Seeker Outreach and Support Workers to join the dynamic and passionate Resilient Communities team in the Council. We are looking for person-centred and tenacious workers to support individuals of any nationality, including Ukrainians, Afghans and Syrians, who may be at risk or are vulnerable following their journey to the UK and Cornwall.

**The Team**

The new Refugee and Asylum Seeker Outreach and Support Team will be part of Community Safety within the Resilient Communities team. We are a creative and hardworking team from a range of backgrounds who look out for each other, value difference and prioritise wellbeing.

**The Role**

Refugee and Asylum Seeker Outreach and Support Workers will assess individuals’ needs and provide flexible, tailored one-to-one support. This will involve building therapeutic relationships with individuals based on trust, collaboration and equality. You will work with a range of statutory, community and independent sector partners taking a collaborative multi-disciplinary approach to ensure the needs of individuals are met.

Through openness, cultural sensitivity and valuing diversity, the team will work to raise the profile of refugees and asylum seekers in local communities, to create sustained change in promoting inclusion and reducing intolerance and hate crime.

Proficiency in Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic or any other language is desirable but not essential.

The role profile can be viewed here.

Fairness and inclusion are at the heart of our vision for Cornwall. In order to best serve our communities, we are striving to achieve a diverse workforce that is inclusive of all backgrounds, cultures and identities; e.g. race, disability, sex, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation. We are an equal opportunities and Disability Confident employer, and we will assess applicants on their merits.

Cornwall Council is committed to safeguarding and following safer recruitment principles to help make sure our staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children, young people and adults at risk. It’s a vital part of creating a safe and positive environment and making a commitment to keeping all service users safe from harm.

The normal duties of the role will involve travel on a regular or occasional basis. It is a condition of employment that you can exercise satisfactory travel mobility in order to fulfil the obligations of the role. For those journeys where an alternative form of transport is unavailable or impracticable you will be required to provide a suitable vehicle.

The normal duties of this role will require you to occasionally work outside core office hours (during evenings and weekends), and it is a condition of employment that you exercise satisfactory level of flexibility in order to fulfil the objectives of the role.

We are looking to create a team which as a whole will cover all localities across Cornwall. Therefore working locations will be discussed at interview.
