Do you want to see peoples lives transformed by God bringing healing and hope? We have come together from different backgrounds and Christian denominations to welcome people to a safe place where they can receive prayer, healing, teaching and find rest and friendship. Our resident community along with the wider team provide hospitality seeking to grow in our own walk with God and encourage others to do the same. Our Christian retreat, conference and holiday centre is a 20 minute walk from 13 miles of sandy beaches on the Dorset South Coast.

How can you help us achieve our vision of 'Growing Christian Disciples'? Although words are important what so often speaks to our guests is our love and service. They see Jesus through our acts of service and willingness to put others before ourselves. We seek to build a sense of community where people feel they are coming into our family and our home. Our resident community are an essential part of that welcome, that sense of family.

What sort of person are we looking for? Someone who above all else wants to grow in their own faith and help others to do the same. You need to have a sense of calling to be here – ie a sense that this is where God wants you at this time. You are joining a community and need to be committed to meeting and seeking God as a community and wider team. You will need to be willing to serve and help out wherever needed although we do seek to place people on the teams they are most suited to, not just where there is a need.

What do we ask of you? We ask for 30 hours service each week. Often this involves housekeeping, washing up, laying tables, serving at meal times, spending time with guests, helping welcome guests or covering reception. It may also involve helping in the gardens or painting. You will expected to join in with times of prayer and worship together as a community and spend time on your own regularly praying and reading the Bible.

What do we offer you? We offer a supportive and prayerful environment and if you feel it would be helpful, coaching or mentoring. We offer times of worship and prayer as a team and resident community. Accommodation, meals and expenses are provided. You will have two days off a week and additional time off for holidays. This is an ideal ‘time out’ to give you time to reflect on where God may be leading you next and how he may want you to grow.

How long can I come for? We ask that people come for a minimum of 3 months as it takes time to settle in. We would normally suggest a maximum of one year initially with the possibility of extending this where appropriate.

Location: Refugee Council, London Borough of Lewisham – outreach

Time commitment: 1-3 hours per week during a minimum period of 3 months (Please note: the time commitment will be during working hours of 9:30-5:30, Monday-Friday)

Responsible to: Project Worker and Project Manager

Main role: The volunteer will be responsible for assisting project workers to familiarize new arrivals with places in the local area

About the Resettlement Team:

The Refugee Council is the largest charity working with asylum seekers and refugees in the UK and provides services to refugees in different cities. Volunteers are a key part of many of the services that support our clients and work alongside paid staff across the organisation.

In Lewisham, the Refugee Council Resettlement Team offers a twelve month integration support package to resettled refugees who have come to the UK on the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement and Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement programmes.

The VPR scheme was announced by the Home Secretary on 29 January 2014. It is designed to provide assistance to refugees from Syria who have fled to neighbouring countries as a result of the current crises and who are particularly vulnerable.

The VCR scheme was announced by the Home Secretary on 21 April 2016. It resettles children and adults from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with a particular focus on supporting vulnerable children at risk and their families.

The Refugee Council Resettlement Team’s integration support package includes help with orientation and longer term issues such as health, accessing education and employment, community development and working with volunteers to involve local people in the programme.

A key part of the work is to ensure that at the end of the twelve months, the refugees are able to get on in life without this support. Volunteers are vital in enabling the Refugee Council to achieve this long term goal. There are five members of staff on the team and volunteers will work closely with them.

The volunteer role:

The volunteer will be responsible for assisting project workers to help new arrivals settle in Lewisham, learn about life in the UK and getting around their local area. The volunteer will work with different clients, depending on the need.  Volunteers will enable clients to become increasingly independent by facilitating integration into the local area. The volunteer will be supported by members of the Resettlement Team.

Specifically, the volunteer role includes:

• Accompany refugees by foot or on public transport to places such as health care appointments, shops, library, community and children centres, banks, station
• Explore the local area with clients
• Practice conversational English whilst being together
• Report back to project worker/member of staff

Useful skills and experience:

• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• Good command of the English language
• Creative in communicating with people who don’t speak English (as their first language) as no interpreter will be provided
• Willingness to empathise and learn about refugee issues
• Reliable, trustworthy and proactive

Skills and experience to be gained from the role:

• Supporting people: Volunteers will have the opportunity to strengthen skills in supporting individuals with a wide range of skill levels, languages, and cultural backgrounds and to develop interpersonal skills in communication and rapport-building.
