Part-Time Junior Jobs

Any of us could be refugees, in different circumstances. Refugees at Home connects people with a spare room to refugees and people seeking asylum in need of somewhere to stay. We don’t think people who come to the UK for sanctuary should end up on the streets. Our vision is for every refugee and every person seeking asylum to have a safe place to stay.

We recruit and support volunteer hosts who are willing to offer a temporary home and a helping hand.  Our role is to carefully match each guest and host, to assess and prepare them ready for hosting, to advise on hosting arrangements and accommodation, and to provide ongoing support to hosts throughout each stay.

We’re based in Brixton, South London.  We work from here 3 days per week, with 2 days from our homes. 

This role is available as a part time role at 3 days per week, where responsibilities would only include those under ‘Fundraising’ in the Job Description. 

At St Pauls Advice Centre we fight poverty and injustice in the community by providing professional advice and equipping people with knowledge and skills so that they and access their rights and fulfil their obligations.
