The Refugee Activities Co-ordinator is a part-time post (up to 4 days a week, with flexible working) on a 12-month contract, reporting to the Destitution Services Manager, joining a small tightly knit and diverse team at the JRS UK offices in Wapping. JRS UK has been working with destitute asylum seekers for many years and has been expanding the services and activities we provide to those we serve. Providing recreational activities for refugees, which develop skills and interests, is a core aspect of our work.

This busy, varied and creative role requires an ability to develop relationships with a variety of people in order to successfully co-ordinate activities. You will demonstrate a real commitment to our mission of accompaniment of refugees, a unique ethos which radically alters the beneficiary—service provider relationship. We place a high value on coming to know refugees as people with gifts and personalities, not only defined by their situation in immigration law. We also have an active group of refugee volunteers, who, working alongside vowed religious, other volunteers and paid staff, widen the perspective of our team.

The Refugee Activities Co-ordinator is responsible for the coordination and development of activities for those made destitute by the asylum process. The role requires a creative and outgoing attitude in addition to organisational and relational skills. The Refugee Activities Co-ordinator acts as a point of contact for external creative and therapeutic practitioners to support the ongoing activities currently available at JRS UK. With a strong focus on participatory co-facilitation, the Refugee Activities Co-ordinator will also provide opportunities for refugees to set direction for the development of creative and skill-sharing projects that foster peer-to-peer support and leadership potential. The Refugee Activity Co-ordinator will be expected to create connections with specialist tutors for the activities (where needed), build links within the community, as well as oversee volunteers with specific skills interested in developing particular activities with refugees.

Existing partnerships delivered through volunteers, therapeutic consultants and collaborations with other charities include workshops on photography, creative arts, choir, drama, music therapy, reflexology, one-on-one English lessons and women’s bike project. There will be an opportunity to explore additional project ideas, designing activities creatively in collaboration with refugees, or where appropriate facilitating access to activities elsewhere, including for example, in sport, dance, or gardening.  

The Refugee Activities Co-ordinator will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the progress of activities, in conjunction with the Destitution Services Manager, and help ensure the sustainability of the project going forward, with the aim of refugees leading the activities themselves in the future where possible.  

The post holder will need to have outstanding people skills, including personal resilience, empathy and confidence to build and sustain relationships. They will have a willingness to work collaboratively and flexibly, be able to inspire confidence and leadership in others.

This role would suit someone with experience of working in a highly relational and creative way with those who have complex needs; experience of working with volunteers; experience of developing projects and activities; experience of carrying out a range of project administration tasks, and enthusiasm for working in a small faith-based organisation.

Flexible working for the post is possible; the postholder must be available to attend the Thursday Day Centre between 9:30-4 pm. Candidates seeking a role of fewer hours (22.5-30 hours a week) will also be considered.

What does Doorstep Library do?

Do you remember a character from a childhood book as fondly as an old friend?

If you do, you’ll know the magic of being able to slip into another world as and when you need to, or how books can make your world a bigger, brighter place.

For bookworms especially, it’s hard to believe that anyone could see reading as anything other than empowering, or even just a pleasure. For the third of children from disadvantaged areas who leave primary school without being able to read well, often it’s nothing but a chore.

That’s why our Home Reading Volunteers like to turn up on the doorstep, with backpacks of books, two little stools, and a pair of volunteers who know that words take you places

What do Home Reading Volunteers do?

Our volunteers bring the magic of reading directly into the homes of families living in disadvantaged estates every week in Hammersmith and Fulham, Westminster and Lambeth.

Armed with a backpack full of books and two little stools, Doorstep Library volunteers visit the same 5 families every week to share their love of reading with primary school aged children. Doorstep Library volunteers don’t just read stories though. They do the silly voices, hand pick the books, and give special recommendations. By making it fun first, we inspire children to experience the joy of stories and books, and transform them into budding readers.

By really getting to know the families, week after week, we empower parents to get stuck into the sessions too and encourage them to get involved in their children’s education. Sometimes though, we’re just there to give that bit of extra support, whether we’re signposting information about a family activity, lending an ear, or even just being a friendly face. Then, before we go, we leave behind a selection of books for each child to borrow for the week.

Where do we do it?

We work in on disadvantaged estates because poor reading skills are inextricably linked to economic disadvantage and reduced life possibilities. For various reasons, children from the poorest families are less likely to have books, less likely to read with their parents and less likely to read for pleasure. Not only are they more likely to fall behind in their studies as a result, they fall behind in their lives. We go to them because much of what support there is doesn’t reach its target and we leave our most vulnerable children behind.

About you

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, community-oriented self-starter, whole heartedly committed to tackling illiteracy and breaking down social barriers on the ground to run our projects in Hammersmith and Fulham. Being a Project Coordinator here at Doorstep Library is a high energy, multifaceted role. Working with our highly experienced Programme Manager, you’ll deliver three projects per week, coordinate a 50 strong volunteer team, and manage a part time Team Leader delivering another two projects, whilst building relationships with families from hugely diverse backgrounds during home reading visits. You’ll also provide additional support for families, develop creative, sensitive and accessible holiday activities and signposting programmes, and analyse the impact and outcomes of our work.

We started out with one project in Fulham and have expanded our reach to 14 projects across 3 boroughs, making visits to over 500 children a week at present.  We plan to continue expanding our reach, which makes it an exciting time to get involved.

Logistics:

• 35 hours per week.
• 6-9 hours per week based on projects across Hammersmith and Fulham.
• Projects run on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from either 3.45pm-6.30pm or 4.30pm – 7pm, depending on location.

3. Support and regularly communicate with a team of up to fifty volunteers by promptly answering queries via text, email and phone calls, plus scheduling stand in volunteers for sessions.

5. Prepare for and facilitate end of term evaluation sessions with the Team Leader and volunteers.
6. Manage effective working relationships with staff where projects are based to ensure the smooth running of the service and support Team Leader to do so.

8. Deliver our Volunteer Training Programme to new volunteers, alongside our Lead Trainer (involves occasional Saturday working.)
9. Complete probationary period reviews of volunteers including undertaking courtesy calls when volunteers have been successful, and rejecting volunteers at different stages of the process. 
10. Deliver a system of individual appraisals for volunteers on your projects.
11. Ensure volunteers adhere to our policies and procedures to ensure the smooth running of the projects and integrity of the organisation.
12. Oversee management of the stock of books on each project, including replenishment of stock, fulfilling requests and book rotations between projects.
13. Supported by the Marketing team and along with the rest of the Programmes team, ensure that Doorstep Library builds brand awareness locally and volunteer recruitment campaigns are effectively carried out for your borough. This could be through regular leaflet and poster sharing with local bookstores, or by creating fun, engaging digital content which tells the story of life “on the ground” for volunteers in your borough, to name a few examples.
14. Supported by the Marketing Assistant, attend local fairs/ community events as and when required to raise awareness about volunteering opportunities in your borough, and encourage your volunteer teams to join you to help spread the word.
15. Working with partners (children’s centres, primary schools, community organisations), assist in the development and updating of a signposting database for the organisation, and implement a termly signposting programme to further support our families.
16. Supervise direct support for priority families across the projects as required, including facilitating access to local community services and specialist organisations. To support the Team Leader/s in doing so.
17. Nurture effective, ongoing, referral pathways with local primary schools, children’s centres and family support services.

• You’re at ease with children from 0-11 years old, whether that’s showing a 6 month old a board book or discussing Phillip Pullman with a discerning Year Six pupil. You advocate our child led approach and are flexible and adaptable to suit each family’s needs, on a week by week basis.

• You’re a model Home Reading Volunteer and the team can look to you for inspiration and support when, inevitably, they are faced with their own challenges throughout their volunteering experience.

• You’re excited by the prospect of tackling illiteracy hands on and empowering parents to get involved in their children’s education.
