Legal advisor, Beekbergen location

VluchtelingenWerk supports refugees and asylum seekers from the moment they are received in the Netherlands until they have found their own way.

For this we are immediately looking for committed volunteers.

Legal experience is not necessary; we offer a short but thorough induction program and courses. It is always possible to discuss which tasks you would or would not like to take on. You will work in an enthusiastic team under the guidance of an experienced team leader.

Refugee Work will be present on Wednesday.

Main tasks:

You and your colleagues hold consultation hours in which you answer clients' questions;

You provide the residents of the emergency shelter with (group) information about the asylum procedure and other legal matters;

You guide clients individually in their specific procedures and monitor progress. You analyze the client's flight story based on the file and provide insight into the strengths and weaknesses;

If people are allowed to stay in the Netherlands, their nuclear family is allowed to come to the Netherlands. You fill in family reunification application forms together with the client and then supervise the procedure.
