Do you want to make a real difference in the lives of refugees?
In this rewarding role, you'll play a vital role in supporting refugee families who have fled war and persecution. You'll empower them to rebuild their lives in the UK by providing tailored support in areas like:
- Healthcare
- Education
- Housing
- Benefits
- Employment
You'll be the go-to person for your assigned families, helping them navigate the complexities of settling in a new country. You'll also run drop-in sessions across South Gloucestershire, offering guidance and support to a wider group of refugees.
We're looking for someone with a big heart and a commitment to social justice. If you have:
- A deep understanding of the challenges faced by refugees, particularly those who have experienced trauma
- Experience working with interpreters and overcoming language barriers
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- The ability to build trust and rapport with people from diverse backgrounds
- A passion for empowering others
A valid UK driving license with business insurance is essential. While not mandatory, fluency in Arabic or Dari/Pashto would be a huge advantage.
If you're ready to make a positive impact, we want to hear from you!
