Work Placements for
Refugee Women

Routes to Employment is partnering with inclusive employers to develop bespoke work placements for refugee women.

We are seeking opportunities to create meaningful employment for our community, helping them gain valuable UK experience while also meeting the hiring needs and skills gaps of local businesses.

What we offer:

  • Free, tailored recruitment support to find the right candidate(s) for your placement.

  • Pre-placement preparation for potential candidates, ensuring they are work-ready.

  • Ongoing guidance and support during placements for both candidates and employers.

  • Subsidised salaries and administrative support.

  • Opportunities for team upskilling and collaborative growth.

Why host a Routes candidate?

  • Access a dedicated, skilled, and loyal workforce.

  • Strengthen your team’s resilience and insight through cultural exchange.

  • Promote refugee-inclusive workplaces and innovative business solutions.
