You will be based at various locations throughout the Wigan Borough

Safeguarding, Partnership and Reform

Salary: Grade 7, £25,295 - £28,785 per annum

37 hours per week

Temporary for 2 years

Your role: 

You will offer support to asylum seekers and refugees to facilitate the transition from government supported accommodation to mainstream society following a determination to remain within the UK. This will involve developing relationships with clients to develop a holistic service through advice, information and guidance.

Your job will involve partnership working with agencies and partners to promote an integrated and joined up approach to working with asylum seekers and refugees.

About you:

You will have excellent communication skills and will be able to work closely with a wide range of partners, and directly with communities and will embrace place based working principles. You will understand safeguarding principles and the need to protect and support vulnerable residents.  

About us: 

We are a busy and committed team who really care about the service we provide and are passionate about making Wigan a great place to live, work and visit for everyone. We value the importance of working in a supportive team environment whilst also recognising the huge benefits of partnership working in a place-based setting.
