• The estimated commitment is 6-10 hours per month.

Term & Remuneration

• The term is up to three years, renewable for an additional term.
• This is a voluntary role, but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

Skills and experience needed

• Understanding of, and commitment to, the objectives of the Helen Bamber Foundation;
• A demonstrable empathy for our vulnerable clients, including asylum seekers, refugees and survivors of torture and trafficking;
• An understanding of the challenges facing our client group;
