• Scotland-based recruiter Brightwork has announced an open-ended extension to its partnership with Migrant Help, the UK-wide charity dedicated to assisting victims rescued human trafficking. Brightwork originally joined up with Migrant Help last year.

Shan Saba, a director at Brightwork, said that initial period was a big learning curve as both organisations began to identify the most common obstacles to securing work for those coming out of the human trafficking network. In addition, many Migrant Help clients are not EU citizens, so have no automatic right to work in the UK.
