Migrant Help is a leading charity that has been established for over 50 years and delivers a range of support and advice services to migrants across the UK. Our vision is for a global society that protects vulnerable migrants, treats them with respect and enables them to reach their full potential.

We are currently recruiting for homebased Community Support Workers to work in Folkestone (Napier Area), in a fixed-term position.



About the role:

This is a very exciting opportunity for an experienced professional with energy, compassion and resili-ence to make a real change to the life chances of people in the UK asylum system. We know that young men in the UK asylum system are less likely than other applicants to trust or access support, leaving them vulnerable to risky situations or coping strategies which affect their safety, stability and mental health. In addition, the demands on the asylum system as a result of covid-19 have led to a need for alternate accommodation, that is more remote from existing support services.

Purpose of the role:

The Community Support Worker will be responsible for supporting clients, from the temporary Initial Accommodation Centre (IAC), helping them to access a range of social, emotional and practical support while they navigate the complex and challenging processes of the UK asylum system. The CSW will act as a consistent and stable point of contact for clients in the temporary IAC, responsible for making initial contact; building trust; accompanying and signposting to appropriate services and activities; ensuring that their safety and wellbeing are paramount.
S/he will maintain a regular and consistent presence within the temporary IAC and associated venues. They will work within the framework of Migrant Help’s values, policies and procedures. The CSW will be additionally supported by other advisers from Migrant Help, tasked with identifying and referring clients for additional support.

Main duties and responsibilities:

Ensure regular presence within the IAC, offering one-to-one and group support to clients in the temporary IAC, in particular those who are isolated or raise concerns about their mental health and confidence to get support.
Run support group sessions in-house, as agreed with your line manager.
Support clients to attend group activities within the centre and at associated venues.
Seek to find support for those clients who struggle to attend GP’s mental health services and other services alone.
Support the positive physical and mental health, wellbeing, and safeguarding of clients, pro-actively reaching out to individuals who appear to be experiencing isolation and/or struggling to access relevant services, suggesting and facilitating access to appropriate support.
Work with local community groups and the accommodation provider to bring activities and supportive services to the clients in the temporary IAC.
To support clients to advocate on accommodation issues within the initial accommodation and meet with the accommodation manager weekly to resolve issues.
To ensure that information is available to the clients in accessible languages and format.
To promote and support clients within the IAC to contact Migrant Help’s First Response Call Centre to report issues or seek advice and guidance.
Liaise with accommodation provider to arrange group activities and ensure additional services are available to clients.
Identify gaps in provision and work with NGOs to meet the needs of clients.

Produce a short monthly evaluation report measuring progress against agreed outcomes.
Work with their manager to evaluate all aspects of the project, especially looking at the challenges and the resources needed to achieve outcomes.
Identify emerging trends and immediately highlight concerns to the Line Manager.
