Refugees, persecuted and/or threatened people should receive adequate protection in Switzerland. Caritas Switzerland gives these people a voice and advocates for fair procedures. For this purpose, Caritas Switzerland offers legal advice and representation in asylum and immigration law to those affected in the central Swiss cantons of Lucerne, Nidwalden, Obwalden, Schwyz, Uri and Zug as well as in Fribourg, Jura and Neuchâtel.

Particularly complex cases or those requiring further clarification are assessed within this framework by the State Secretariat for Migration. We offer an interesting and varied working environment in a motivated team at the interface of law and social commitment.
