The role

Refugee Welcome Homes has an exciting new opportunity for a Support Worker to join and work in our team based in Bristol. You will join us on a part-time, 1-year contract, starting in January 2024, working 22.5 hours a week (3 days) and in return, you will receive a competitive salary of between £26,000 and £28,000 pro rata, per annum.


Refugee Welcome Homes is based in Bristol (a City of Sanctuary) and plays an important role in preventing refugee homelessness and ensuring that refugees receive the assistance they require. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.


You will be providing high quality direct, person-centred support to single adults with refugee status who have settled in Bristol. This includes helping to prevent or relieve homelessness and then sustain their lodgings and help them with support to integrate into their new lives in the UK.

Refugee Welcome Homes is wholly committed to inclusion and diversity and to building a culture and environment where everyone is appreciated for the unique person they are.
