We do this by equipping and resourcing churches across the UK to welcome people seeking refuge and asylum in their communities. More recently, we have had the opportunity to engage in a number of projects, focusing on specific people groups, or specific needs of new arrivals in the UK. This has included being part of coalitions such as ‘UKHK’ and ‘Afghan Welcome’ with other organisations, and designing rapid responses to new crises such as the Ukrainian conflict. As this part of our work continues to grow we have an exciting opportunity for an agile and creative individual to join our growing team. This role would be suitable for a self-motivated individual with knowledge and experience of marketing and project management with a number of stakeholders.

We currently have two major projects which we have received funding for: UKHK and Welcome Homes. We also have a number of resources within the Welcome Churches portfolio which have been developed, but are not well known across the UK Church. We are looking for a project manager to help profile these new projects and existing resources, improving them where necessary and developing new resources to equip the UK Church to serve refugees in their local community.
Applicants are required to have an active Christian faith and be passionate about the UK Church welcoming refugees into their community. The successful candidate will be expected to work occasional evenings and weekends and be available to travel around the UK.
