JOB: Housing Researcher, RWinR - apply by 30 Dec
Salary: £20 per hour / 12 hours per week for up to 25 weeks with a possible extension
A local refugee charity is seeking a part-time researcher to help volunteers identify suitable accommodation for clients seeking sanctuary.
Refugees Welcome in Richmond(RWinR) is a registered charity led by volunteers in support of people seeking sanctuary in and around the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (LBRUT).
They are looking for a part-time Housing Researcher to help volunteers identify suitable accommodation for clients with refugee status and, where possible, those seeking asylum, as part of a project called “Improving Access to Housing for People Seeking Sanctuary in Richmond”.
The project looks to enhance the welfare of sanctuary seekers by increasing access to appropriate and affordable housing. This will be achieved by making contact with community networks willing to engage with house owners who might be open to letting their properties (or rooms in shared accommodation) at rents coverable by the prescribed LBRUT Housing Allowance for housing of particular sizes in specified areas of the borough.
This project aims to complement the second-year objective of Richmond Council’s Borough of Sanctuary Strategy Action Plan to identify at least 20 private rented properties for sanctuary seeking residents. It also aims to support sanctuary seeking clients not covered by UK government schemes such as the Afghan Resettlement Programme.
The Housing Researcher will adhere to a contract terms of reference, which details the full list of tasks, remuneration and eligibility criteria for the role.
The closing date for applications is 5pm on Tuesday 30 December.
