Job description


There are about 2,000 LGBTQI people claiming asylum in the UK every year because of their sexuality, gender identity or intersex status.

When they come to the UK they are still not safe.

They are often abused in refugee accommodation by other refugees who come from the same or similar countries to the one they are escaping; they become homeless and depressed; and they are rejected by their ethnic community and live in poverty.

Our work also shows a dramatic need for employability and moving on support.

When LGBTQI asylum seekers are granted refugee status, they are often given only seven days to find new accommodation and a job.

Seven days are not enough to prepare for a new life in a new country.

This is a critical point for many refugees:
without the right support they are at risk of homelessness, exploitation and depression.


The job involves meeting with LGBTQI asylum seekers on a regular basis to establish their suitability to access Micro Rainbow's housing and moving on programmes.

It also involves supporting them while they live in Micro Rainbow's safe houses and to move on from our safe houses.

Deadline 2nd October 2023.
