Helping refugees rebuild their lives in Berkshire since 1994.
Location: Reading (3 days per week in office)
Applications close at 9 a.m. Monday 17th November.
For more than 33 years, Refugee Support Group (RSG) has stood alongside refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants across Berkshire.
RSG began as a community social group for refugees and asylum seekers with members offering each other moral support and advice. We have proudly grown from a small volunteer group into a respected charity providing legal advice, casework, and resettlement support for people rebuilding their lives in a new country.
At a time when the national conversation about refugees has become increasingly hostile, our role has never been more important.
Every day, we help people find safety, stability and dignity, empowering them to thrive and contribute to their communities.
Leading RSG
This is a leadership role for someone who can combine strategic vision with operational and financial focus, and who understands both the complexity and the humanity of our mission.
You will:
- Lead, empower and support our talented staff and volunteers with a collaborative, inclusive leadership style.
 - Shape and deliver a bold, forward-looking strategy that balances growth, advocacy and sustainability.
 - Bring strong financial and commercial acumen and have experience in leading organisational change and delivering results in complex or resource-constrained environments.
 - Have a successful track record of fundraising and income growth.
 - Act as the public face of RSG, building relationships with funders, local authorities, government departments and networks.
 - Champion the rights and dignity of refugees and asylum seekers.
 - Bring excellent communication skills and an ability to nurture partnerships and collaboration across Reading and beyond.
 
About you
You will bring a strong track record of leadership and income generation, ideally from within the charity or public sector, but this is not a prerequisite. You will be an excellent communicator who can influence and inspire internally, externally and publicly.
Above all, you will bring authenticity, resilience and compassion, with the ability to lead through complexity and change.
Lived experience or prior experience of working closely with refugee and migrant communities is welcomed, but not essential. What is essential is that you will be passionate about supporting refugees and that you are driven by a deep belief in inclusion, justice and human dignity.
Why now?
More people than ever are being displaced by conflict, persecution and crisis. In this context, RSG’s work is both vital and urgent. This is an opportunity to lead an established, dedicated charity at a turning point, to build on strong foundations, respond to rising need and ensure that every refugee in Berkshire and beyond can find safety, support and a sense of belonging.

You'll work with a team who care deeply about our cause, and you'll have the autonomy to shape this role according to your strengths.
If you're ready to make a real difference and create your own fundraising legacy, we'd love to hear from you.
If you have recently been affected by a brain tumour, please consider carefully if this role would be right for you, as your welfare is the utmost priority and our work may be triggering.
