Helping refugees in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to find a job

Supporting refugees into employment in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

Funded by the UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund, this programme is designed to support refugees who have been granted the right to live and work in the UK as they take their next steps towards employment and independence.

Delivered across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly through their People Hub, the programme offers personalised, one-to-one support from dedicated key workers. These appointments provide a safe and structured space for individuals to begin adapting to the UK’s working culture and expectations.

The programme recognises that moving into work in a new country involves more than just applying for jobs - it’s about building the skills, confidence and understanding needed to navigate a very different employment landscape. Participants are supported to identify their transferable skills, develop their digital abilities, and learn how to job search effectively in the UK context. Where digital exclusion is a barrier, support is available to help individuals get online and build confidence with digital tools.
