Education Welcome Project Officer (Ukraine focus)
REUK is a dynamic and growing organisation with 30 staff members working across multiple locations.
We are seeking an Education Welcome Project Officer. This role will require the candidate to provide newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers with the basic information they need to navigate and enter the UK education system, from primary to tertiary level, including through education resources, a national advice service and in-person and online workshops and drop-in sessions.
As a key responsibility of this role is to engage with the large number of Ukrainian referrals, we are looking for a candidate who speaks and writes English and Ukrainian to a high standard.
We would particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of forced migration or from other backgrounds currently under represented on our team.
