Refugee Futures enables refugees and people seeking asylum to flourish in Stockton on Tees. We deliver projects and work with other partners to offer welcome and orientation upon arrival and provide volunteering and training opportunities. For more information about the work that we do please visit our website www.refugeefutures.org.

This is an opportunity to play an influential role in a relatively new and developing organisation for up to one year, working with a committed and dynamic core staff group, board of trustees and a wider team, including volunteers and sessional staff with lived experience of the asylum and immigration system. The role has 3 key strands (see detailed job description below):

  • Managing volunteers, project and sessional staff who are developing and delivering activities including welcome and orientation services and volunteering opportunities.
  • Developing and maintaining collaborations and partnerships which underpin our role and approach to development and delivery.
  • Project management ensuring clear project plans and goals, effective delivery and management and reporting on impact and use of project funds.

We are taking a flexible approach and are open to applications from people able to fulfil some parts, or all the role. The role – or parts of it - may suit someone seeking a secondment from their current employer.
