Family Practitioner

As a Family Practitioner within the Refugee Service, you will play a vital role in supporting separated children, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, refugee young people, care leavers, families with No Recourse to Public Funds, and those arriving through the Homes for Ukraine scheme. You will help them to feel safe, settled and supported as they begin to rebuild their lives in the UK. This is a unique opportunity to join a specialist, creative and dedicated service working with children, young people and families who may have experienced trauma, loss, uncertainty, disrupted education, family separation, insecure immigration status, financial hardship and significant life transitions.

You will work collaboratively with Social Workers, Care Leaver Personal Advisers, managers, carers, education providers, health professionals, legal representatives, interpreters and partner agencies to deliver practical, relationship-based support. Through your work, you will empower young people to understand their rights and entitlements, access education and healthcare, sustain suitable accommodation, build independence, and make informed plans for their future.
