Construction firm J Murphy & Sons is to offer jobs to up to 175 Ukrainian refugees.
The company is working with the Home Office to offer jobs to people in the Ukrainian community. Nearly five million people have fled Ukraine since the war with Russia began, with some making their way to the UK.
Opportunities include onsite jobs, roles in areas such as finance, as well as skilled roles within the group’s engineering, commercial and operations activities.

Murphy will also offer practical assistance to Ukrainians joining the company, including help with language barriers, finding housing, cultural integration support and informal mentoring. New recruits will be partnered with current Murphy employees in a ‘buddy’ system, most of whom are likely to be employees who come from Ukraine or other eastern European locations.
Dawn Moore, group people and communications director at Murphy, said: “We are a growing business with a number of opportunities. And we want to do whatever we can to support those impacted by the current situation in Ukraine.
“There are many different levels of jobs available within our business along with a wider package of support. Many of our Ukrainian, Polish and other Eastern European Murphy people have volunteered to help these prospective new joiners, which is a fantastic show of support.”
Murphy Ukrainian volunteer mentor, Inas Almnasra, added: “I was born in Ukraine and lived there until I was five. I have worked with Murphy for the past three years. So I am really looking forward to helping our Ukrainian colleagues to find their feet and get settled in the UK. The war in Ukraine is causing untold heartache for families. I’m incredibly proud that Murphy as a business is committed to helping people who are in such desperate need.”
