Job vacancies in the migration sector

Dominion Training is looking for an assistant family key worker to work on the Connecting Opportunities project.

Connecting Opportunities works with new migrants to develop their skills and opportunities to find work and be part of the local community. Ten organisations that specialise in working with migrants are offering tailored support, cultural orientation, English language classes and other training across West Yorkshire and part of North Yorkshire [Craven, Harrogate, Selby and York]. The project is also creating new local connections, with opportunities for local people to be volunteer mentors and befrienders, and for employers to provide work placements to help people get a foothold in the job market.

In this role you will work with refugees and migrants in the Wakefield area. As an assistant family key worker, you will be entry point for participants coming into the programme and you will develop a package of support that will enable the participants to overcome barriers which have hindered them from making progress. You will also provide 1:1 support to people who are long-term unemployed to help them move towards and access training and employment. By providing intensive support and advice you will help each participant develop a tailored action plan and identify how this can be best met through existing services.
