London, United Kingdom Jesuit Refugee Service UK Full time

Job description

The Accommodation Officer is a full-time post helping to run an exciting and varied project providing safe accommodation for people made destitute by the asylum system. The postholder will be supervised by the Accommodation Project Coordinator to oversee placements across our housing and hosting projects.

JRS UK has been working with destitute asylum seekers for many years and began providing temporary accommodation through our hosting scheme ‘At Home’ since 2012. In March 2021, following a partnership with the Sisters of the Holy Family of St Emilie, we were able open a 10-bedroom house for women in South London. We are now seeking to expand our Accommodation Project further to open a house for men.

JRS works in a highly relational way, and the postholder will need to be able to form strong relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and the people we support, who we call refugee friends.

The postholder will support guests, hosts and residents to live in safety and dignity. They accompany refugee friends that JRS houses or hosts to ensure that their holistic support needs are met whilst they are accommodated with us. They will work alongside the Destitution and Legal teams at JRS to facilitate a long-term route out of destitution.

As many of our hosting placements are with religious congregations or families who have volunteered to help through our parish connections, it is important that the postholder respect and be able to build rapport with people whose life is motivated by faith.

This is a rare opportunity to receive personalised training and support to make a tangible difference to the lives of people who would otherwise be street homeless or living in unsafe situations as a result of the asylum process.
