Your Sanctuary is looking for a Refuge Referrals, Resettlement and Support Worker to join our experienced Refuge team. 

​

​​You will be a key part of the team responsible for the smooth running of our refuge service; assessing referrals into our service, providing a specialist resettlement service towards the end of a resident's stay and providing support during the transition period as they move from refuge into new accommodation in the community.
