The City of London is currently hosting 115 households (479 individuals) Afghan guests within
two bridging hotels and is expecting to support approximately 15 Ukrainian families in the very
near future.
There is currently no expert capacity internally to support such an urgent and important
undertaking and we are therefore looking to procure an experienced programme lead with
strong service design and delivery skills. Recent and relevant work with refugees is an
essential requirement for this role.
The aim of this role is two-fold:
1. To design and develop an approach that will meet the accommodation and
support needs of Ukrainian families, single adults and potentially unaccompanied
children.
Whilst this is likely to start as a crisis intervention approach, the role will develop a
supportive pathway for Ukrainian guests to access relevant services including education,
language skills and healthcare.
An agile and pragmatic approach is essential for this role in order to accommodate a rapidly
evolving landscape. The approach should develop a clear exit strategy to support a
transition away from targeted delivery to mainstream support provision
2. To continue the oversight of the established services for Afghan guests currently
being supported within two bridging hotels within the square mile.
The approach is very well developed and well-regarded by a wide variety of stakeholders,
and so requires sensitive facilitation skills. The provider will support the design and
implementation of newly arising service needs and develop and exit strategy that supports
the orderly withdrawal (where appropriate) of City services as clients transition to
independence, other settings or in the event the government ends it arrangements with
bridging hotels
The programme is entering a critical final phase which will see the support more focused on
move-on and the development of the skills and confidence to live independently within the
UK.
Due to the uncertainty of the length of support required, this role may also evolve to develop
longer term accommodation and support services. Therefore, there is opportunity to extend
the contract for this role.
