Welcome Churches’ vision is for every refugee to be welcomed by the local church. We do this by equipping and resourcing churches to welcome refugees and asylum seekers to their local community and by profiling them on our national Welcome Network. In 2021 so far our Welcome Network of refugee-welcoming churches has grown to over 600 churches across the UK and this number is increasing every month. Most recently we have been responding to the urgent need to help welcome newly-arrived Afghans to the UK, since the collapse of the Afghan government in August. At the end of September we had connected around 2500 Afghans with their local church and provided training to over 400 individuals from local churches to be ready to welcome them.

In addition to responding to urgent needs, we have a number of projects which churches can run. We provide a variety of training and resources to churches to support, disciple and include refugees in all aspects of church life.  Our Welcome Boxes project provides a way for churches to proactively welcome newly-arrived refugees and asylum seekers in their location. We train Coordinators and volunteer Welcomers from the church to visit those newly arriving, welcome them with a Welcome Box and continue to welcome the family or individual over a period of 3 months, introducing them to others in the church community and wider community.  Another of our newer projects, Welcome Holidays, provides an opportunity for refugees to enjoy a short break somewhere new in the UK, hosted by a church who generously provides hospitality and some planned days of holiday. 

We are at a pivotal moment as a charity as demand for our work is growing exponentially. We are seeking to provide consistent and high quality support to churches in our Welcome Network, focusing initially on churches in areas with high numbers of asylum seekers and refugees. This role will ensure that the rest of the Welcome Churches team is equipped with the tools they need to ensure that we continue to support and equip churches, delivering Welcome Churches training to churches and engaging with churches not yet in our Welcome Network. 

The Operations Manager will be based in Derby. This role is a full time role of 37.5 hours a week with a starting salary of £27,000. They will join the Senior Management Team and will be directly accountable to one of our Joint CEOs through regular supervisions. This ensures accountability in the role and identifies any training and support needs they may have. The Operations Manager will also be responsible for line managing the Finance Officer. 

Applicants are required to have an active Christian faith and be passionate about the UK Church welcoming refugees into the church community. Applicants from a refugee background are strongly encouraged to apply.

Thank you for considering a Youth Intervention Practitioner role with Redthread. We are a team of compassionate, collaborative and courageous professionals, committed to empowering young people to change their lives. Please note that we are currently recruiting for two Youth Intervention Practitioners.

As a Youth Intervention Practitioner working on our Youth Violence Intervention Programme across Nottinghamshire, primarily based in the A&E department at the Queens Medical Centre, you will support young people who are experiencing trauma or tragedy and their families. You’ll be part of a team that is fully embedded in the hospital and that is highly valued by clinicians and community partners alike.

To do this well you need to be a people person; passionate about supporting young people, and excited at the prospect of working in a fast-paced and exceptionally busy environment. You’ll need a proven ability to work with high risk, vulnerable young people and an understanding of the impact intense, short term work can have.

You must be a strong communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young person as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues. You’ll be keen to keep learning, seizing training opportunities at Redthread and continuously reflecting upon and improving your practice.

During the Covid-19 outbreak, our teams are still working from the hospitals as we are classed as essential workers. You will need to do shifts at the hospital, as well as working some days from home, depending on the needs of the team and the service.

In return, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a supportive and flexible working environment, excellent staff training and development package and access to a range of employee benefits including; access to enhanced employee assistance programme services, employer pension scheme contribution, enhanced annual leave and family leave entitlements and more.

What do our Youth Intervention team do?

Redthread empowers young people to thrive as they navigate the challenging transition to adulthood by integrating trauma-informed youth work into the health sector. Whether a young person has been the victim of a stabbing, is seeking support for anxiety, has suffered a sexual assault, or wants to find a new home beyond the reach of a gang, we support them to overcome the challenges they face through our dynamic youth work programmes.

Every year thousands of young people find themselves in hospital A&E departments as the victim of serious youth violence. Redthread’s Youth Violence Intervention Programme embeds youth workers in hospitals to intervene with these young people. The teams meet the young patients as soon as they can: in the A&E waiting room, on the ward, or even in the resuscitation bay. We believe that this moment of intense crisis, when the young person is nursing a serious injury in the daunting environment of a busy hospital, often alone, can be a catalyst for pursuing positive change – a ‘teachable moment’.

Our teams build rapport with the young people, mentor and advise them, and support them to make long-term positive plans to break away from cycles of violence and offending. Problems include exclusion from education, employment or training, a lack of stability in housing, mental health concerns, unstable relationships and reprimands due to criminal activity. Redthread capitalise on our partnerships to ensure long-term work and change is possible for each young person. The teams make well-judged referrals on their behalf and accompany them to initial meetings to ensure transition is smooth. This work disrupts the cycle that can too easily lead to devastated communities and an exhausted healthcare and justice system.

We have teams in three of London’s four Major Trauma Centres and commission a service in the fourth. In 2018 we launched services in Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, in Queen Elizabeth and Heartlands Hospitals in Birmingham, and in Homerton Hospital in Hackney. We expanded our service to UCLH in early 2020, and have launched in Croydon University Hospital, University Hospital Lewisham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital,

Our Youth Intervention team are resilient, able to work calmly in a challenging environment with young people experiencing trauma, injury or exploitation. They have a good level of self-awareness, the ability to reflect on how the work is impacting them, and a willingness to engage in regular clinical supervision that helps them develop their practice and emotional literacy.
