At Solihull Council, we're committed to providing a warm welcome and helping families arriving through refugee resettlement programmes to thrive. We're looking for a compassionate, resilient and proactive Resettlement Caseworker to join our dedicated Resettlement Team and play a vital role in supporting Afghan families as they start a new chapter in Solihull.
About The Role
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of individuals and families who have experienced displacement and significant life challenges.
Working directly with Afghan households, you will provide intensive, person-centred support from arrival through to long-term integration. You'll help families access housing, healthcare, education, employment opportunities and community networks, enabling them to gain confidence, independence and a sense of belonging in their new community.
- No two days will be the same.
- You'll manage your own caseload.
- Coordinate support from a wide range of services and partners.
- Advocate on behalf of families where needed.
- Help overcome barriers that may prevent successful integration.
About You
We're looking for someone with the experience, empathy and determination to support people facing complex challenges.
You will have:
- Significant experience in a support, casework, keyworker or similar role working with vulnerable individuals or families.
- Experience of working effectively with a range of partners across statutory, community and voluntary sector organisations.
- Knowledge of asylum, immigration and refugee resettlement practice and/or legislation.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- The ability to manage competing priorities and work independently in a fast-paced environment.
- A strong understanding of safeguarding and supporting vulnerable people.
