Migrant Program Jobs in Connecticut (NOW HIRING)

Description

Help newly arrived migrants build stability, connection, and a sense of home.

We're seeking a compassionate, organized, and culturally responsive Case Manager - Migrant Focus to support newly arrived migrants during their critical first 90 days of resettlement. This role places a special emphasis on serving Cuban and Haitian communities, while also working with migrants from diverse backgrounds.

If you're someone who thrives at the intersection of advocacy, coordination, and relationship-building-and you're energized by helping people navigate complex systems with dignity and care-this role may be a great fit.

As a Case Manager, you'll walk alongside clients as they adjust to life in a new community, ensuring they have the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to thrive.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conducting arrival screenings and intakes, with a focus on culturally responsive engagement
   
• Providing intensive, comprehensive case management during the initial 90-day resettlement period
   
• Connecting clients to essential services such as employment, education, healthcare, and social services
   
• Delivering core services including home visits, cultural orientations, ESL/school registration support, and medical appointment assistance
   
• Coordinating and delivering transportation orientations and providing transportation when needed
   
• Scheduling and facilitating monthly Cultural Orientation sessions and encouraging participation in Refugee Health Promotion events
   
• Making referrals to community partners to support long-term integration
   
• Maintaining accurate, timely, and compliant case documentation and reports for federal programs
   
• Collaborating closely with colleagues and community service providers
   
• Participating in weekly supervision and annual performance evaluations
   

We're looking for someone who balances heart with organization and flexibility with accountability.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (social work, education, anthropology, psychology, public health, international studies, women's studies, or similar)
   
• At least 2 years of client-facing experience and/or 1 year working with vulnerable or underserved populations
   
• Strong organizational, communication, and time-management skills
   
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a collaborative mindset
   
• Comfort using Microsoft Office and client database systems
   
• Reliable vehicle, valid U.S. driver's license, and auto insurance
   
• Ability to assist with apartment setups, including lifting and carrying household items
   
• Flexibility to provide occasional after-hours support as needed
   

Preferred (but not required)

• Familiarity with Cuban and/or Haitian cultures
   
• Proficiency in French Creole
   
• Experience working in resettlement, immigration, refugee services, or community-based programs
   

This position is more than case management-it's about building trust, restoring stability, and helping individuals and families feel grounded in a new beginning. You'll be part of a collaborative, mission-driven team committed to equity, cultural humility, and meaningful community integration.

If you're ready to do work that truly matters-and to support migrants with respect, compassion, and practical care-we'd love to hear from you.
