ESOL Manager, Refugee Integration

Entraide is a well-established charity based in Solihull. Our aim is to promote the wellbeing of refugees and asylum seekers in Solihull and across the West Midlands and to facilitate their integration into society. We are currently the only refugee specialist organisation in Solihull providing support to around 700 clients a year from 30 different countries of origin. We are regulated by the Office of Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) to provide advice at Level 1 Immigration and Level 2 Asylum & Protection. We operate four main services: Casework, Integration support, befriending, and Children and Family Activities. 

We are seeking to recruit a Caseworker to provide advice, practical support and advocacy to people seeking asylum, refugees and other vulnerable migrants in Solihull and the surrounding area. The service is focused on connecting people with information and essential services where they exist, and on providing advice, advocacy, and casework interventions where there are gaps in provision, to avoid homelessness and destitution.

The ideal candidate will be someone highly motivated who has a passion and commitment to support the empowerment of refugees, asylum seekers and other vulnerable migrants through casework so that they can successfully integrate into society and start rebuilding their lives. Experience of advice work dealing with asylum seekers, refugees and vulnerable migrants is therefore essential. Registration at OISC Level 1 and ability to speak a community language will be a plus.
