Job vacancies in the migration sector

Are you looking for a job where you can make a significant difference to the lives of others?

Are you motivated to work with new migrants who are developing their skills and seeking work opportunities?

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 parts of North Yorkshire. The project is also creating new local connections encouraging local people to volunteer as mentors and befrienders, and is working to secure work placements that can help people move into the job market.

Connecting Opportunities is funded by the European Social Fund and the National Lottery Community Fund.

We are seeking a Key Worker to be responsible for developing a package of support with each participant, to oversee and navigate their progress through the project. You will also support the participant’s educational and training needs, along with providing employment advice and guidance.

You will have experience of working with different client groups, including new migrants and refugees, preferably in an education, training and employment capacity. An understanding of the issues and barriers faced by migrants integrating into their local community and finding employment opportunities would be beneficial.
