Jobs for Hongkongers

This support has now closed. We hope to be able to restart this in the future.

We know it can be overwhelming to start a new life in the UK. How can you make the most of your skills and qualifications? How do you find work? We can support you.

We support integration into life in the UK for Hong Kong BNO visa holders within the East Midlands. Our support is always FREE and bespoke to each person.

Our coaches deliver one-to-one support, either online or face-to-face when possible.

We can help you with:

  • Finding work
  • Employability skills including CV writing, job applications, and interview skills
  • Build on your existing English language skills to help you seek and apply for work
  • Work experience opportunities
  • Finding skills and training programmes
  • Community integration – helping you to settle in the local community by accessing local support such as health, housing and community services.

We help each person flourish, whether they are new to the country or are residents already but still in need of support. 

Meet Connie, Employability Coach

Connie moved from Hong Kong to the UK in July 2023. Without a job or friends she struggled with loneliness and feeling worthless.

She started volunteering with us, befriending vulnerable adults and reading to children. This helped her gain confidence, improve her English, and find a purpose.

She now helps fellow Hongkongers find work and settle into UK life. Are you ready to get help from Connie?

Volunteering

It’s no secret that volunteering is a great pastime and we have plenty of opportunities to get stuck in. Learn outdoor skills from our skilled environment team, and learn to love nature even more.
