Job vacancies in the migration sector

This is an opportunity to join the small ASSIST staff team that works alongside our 300+ volunteer work force. The post holder will work alongside the accommodation manager to ensure that destitute asylum seekers in Sheffield have got access to safe accommodation, with a particular focus on developing accommodation options that are being offered by volunteer hosts.

You will be a skilled communicator with an excellent ability to develop relationships with individuals and community groups. You have a professional demeanour, are comfortable with taking responsibility and able to instil trust in others. In difficult situations you are able to act with calm and consideration. You are committed to the well-being of asylum seekers as well as of volunteers, including volunteer hosts, and able to support them to maintain appropriate boundaries, while maintaining the values of solidarity and respect that underpin ASSIST’s work. You are also comfortable to work as a member of a team with staff and volunteers, but are also self-motivated and confident to work independently at times.
