NHS Employers - Refugee Employment

NHS Employers is the employers' organisation for the NHS in England. We support workforce leaders and represent employers to build a sustainable workforce and enable organisations to be the best employers they can be.

The Refugee Health and Care Employment Programme is scaling the recruitment of refugee and displaced talent as a workforce solution across clinical and non-clinical roles

in the NHS.

Building on successful local initiatives, we have supported 200+ healthcare professionals into NHS employment and developed system-wide pathways.

We work in partnership with NHS organisations, NHS England, DWP, British Red Cross, Health Foundation, Refugee Council, REACHE, Ukrainian Medical Charity, Breaking Barriers, ReSTORE, REPOD and LRDP.

Vision: A health and care system that utilises

the skills of refugee and displaced talent to strengthen workforce supply, inclusion, and patient care.

Mission: To unlock the skills and experience of

refugees and displaced people to support delivery of high-quality patient care.

Aim: To support the successful integration of

people from forced migration backgrounds into the health and care workforce through scalable, sustainable employment pathways.
