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 25 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.

Looking for a career with purpose and a clear path for development? 

As a social worker, you’ll work directly with children and families to make sure children are safe, supported and able to thrive. It’s a career that offers stability, progression and the chance to make a lasting difference. On this programme, you’ll be supported from day one and gain the skills, experience and master’s degree to succeed, wherever your career takes you. 

About the programme 

Approach Social Work is a fully funded training programme that helps you step into children’s social work with the training, tools and support to make a difference.

On the programme, you’ll develop a deep understanding of child-focused practice and how to build relationships that create real change. You’ll also explore anti-discriminatory, anti-oppressive and anti-racist approaches — and earn a master’s degree along the way. 

What to expect 

Year one: 

• Begin study for your postgraduate diploma 

• Work with children and families within a local authority, supported by experienced tutors and practice educators 

• Receive a bursary of £18,000 or £20,000 (depending on location) to help with living and travel costs 

Year two and three:

• Move into a paid role as a newly qualified social worker (up to £34,000, or more in some London boroughs) 

• Keep working towards your master’s degree 

• Join the Frontline Fellowship, a national community offering career-long support and development 

The role:

You’ll learn how to build relationships, make difficult decisions and advocate for children’s safety and wellbeing. That means: 

• Visiting a child at home or school 

• Supporting a parent through difficult circumstances 

• Working with teachers, health professionals or police 

• Writing reports and helping decide what’s safest for a child 

It’s a role that takes empathy, resilience and strong judgement, rooted in anti-racist, anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice. 

Who we’re looking for 

You don’t need experience in social work, just the right values, resilience and commitment to making a difference. We welcome applicants from all degree backgrounds and are especially keen to hear from those underrepresented in the sector, including men and people from racially diverse communities. 

Eligibility requirements 

• Have at least a 2.2 (predicted or obtained) in an undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent)

• Have obtained GCSE English Language at Grade C/4 or above (or approved equivalent qualification)

• Possess the right to work and study in the UK (including access to public funds) for the duration of the programme (until September 2029)

• Be resident in England by the time the programme commences

• Not be a qualified social worker 

Real support. Real skills. A career that matters.
