About Refugee Sanctuary Scotland
Refugee Sanctuary Scotland works to prevent and alleviate destitution and homelessness among people seeking asylum and refugees in Scotland. We provide safe accommodation, practical and financial assistance, access to legal support, advocacy, wellbeing activities and opportunities for people to build greater stability and independence.
Our accommodation programme supports people who have become destitute, including people who have received a negative decision on their asylum claim and have No Recourse to Public Funds.
RSS is now expanding its accommodation work beyond Glasgow and Edinburgh into Aberdeen, where we intend initially to accommodate four people across two two-bedroom flats.
Purpose of the Role
The Ending Destitution Coordinator (EDC) will have day-to-day responsibility for supporting individuals accommodated by RSS in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
The postholder will provide practical, person-centred support, helping residents maintain stable accommodation, access appropriate legal and other specialist services, attend important appointments and work towards positive and sustainable move-on outcomes.
A key element of the role will be supporting the establishment and ongoing delivery of RSS's new accommodation provision in Aberdeen.
