Having worked with Syrian refugees, we now want to extend our work to more people and grow our small team. We are looking for an enthusiastic, energetic and well-organised person to work close with our beneficiaries.

We are recruiting for a two-year part-time post as Case worker at a salary of £27,000 pro rata.

The contract would be fixed term for the lifetime of the funding period, which is to December 2025.

This is an opportunity for a highly motivated person to apply their approach to working with refugees and asylum seekers in Mansfield. Experience and knowledge of refugee issues is less important than a commitment to offering people support and respect and to work on relationships with our beneficiaries and the Mansfield community. You will be working face to face with refugees and asylum seekers.
