Employment for refugees

There are organisations that can help you look for work. If you are in receipt of benefits, it may be a requirement of the Jobcentre that you look for work. 

Get Set UK 
Get Set UK deliver the Refugee Employability Programme (REP) in the East of England, providing vital support to refugees with employment and integration into the community. If you wish to be referred for support from Get Set UK as part of your housing application, contact your Housing Adviser. 
Refugee Employment Programme (REP) | Get Set UK 

You can search for jobs at Find a job - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

If you were a professional in your country or had specialist skills, you may be able to have these recognised in the UK. Find more information by contacting UK ENIC - Home Page (enic.org.uk)

Many refugees are concerned about learning English prior to getting a job. Some of the supporting agencies offer free English and conversation classes, where you can practice your spoken English skills. 

You may also be able to join an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) class at City College Norwich. Please visit their website and search ‘ESOL’ for more information - Home | City College Norwich (ccn.ac.uk)
