About CARAS:
Community Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (CARAS) is a charity that supports refugees and asylum-seekers living in South West London, and helps them to play their full part in the community. Arriving as an asylum seeker in the UK can be a terrifying and disempowering experience. Difficulties with language, accessing services and overcoming prejudice are ever-present. We exist to help people seeking asylum overcome those challenges, and to help them rebuild their lives.
We offer a range of individual and group support to improve the holistic wellbeing of people who have a forced displacement background, providing them the tools they need to build lives filled with value, meaning and purpose in the UK. Our activities for adults include currently include: ESOL classes; sports; women’s creative writing; women’s coffee morning, and casework.
About the CARAS Adult Team:
In the post-pandemic environment, CARAS is responding to the role of digital literacies in our programme delivery to learners of asylum-seeking and refugee background. In contrast to the UK essential Digital skills framework, we have built in language inclusion to create a participatory learning course for Essential Digital Literacies for learners who are new to reading and writing in English. The individuals joining CARAS are highly diverse, with different countries of origin, linguistic and educational backgrounds. We have observed over the last year that many CARAS community members have limited digital skills, particularly in regard to using computers. Community members have highlighted that computers are important for many individuals to achieve their educational and employment goals, whilst increasing confidence and independence. We have co-designed a digital skills program in partnership with CARAS community members to improve computer literacy and skills, focusing on basic computer literacy.
Our values are at the centre of all our work:
• Kindness: CARAS will nurture all who are part of our community, helping everyone to develop their skills, talents, and interests.
• Justice: CARAS will strive for social justice following a rights-based approach in all our work and challenging instances when rights are not upheld in wider society.
• Empowerment: CARAS works alongside people, recognising and respecting their skills and strengths and striving together for better outcomes.
• ‘With’ not ‘for’: CARAS will put the voices, opinions, experiences and needs of its beneficiaries at the heart of all that we do.

Would you like to help tackle loneliness, one conversation at a time?
Loneliness and isolation can have devastating effects on a person’s mental and physical health. We are a registered charity providing a pathway of support to alleviate the hurt and distress, and the impact on mental and physical health, caused by loneliness and social isolation.
The aim of face-to-face Individual Support is to provide in-person supportive social contact for people who are hurt by loneliness.
Volunteers support Friends (people who use our services) on a one-to-one basis. After completing training, volunteers will be linked with a Friend who they will phone for around one hour every two weeks. This is arranged at a mutually convenient time.
We ask volunteers to think of this as a longer term volunteer role due to the training and time we take in order to give our volunteers, and Friends, the very best service. You will also need to consider occasional time spent in training for your role and for continuous development.
For all our roles:
Due to our Safeguarding regulations, unfortunately we are only able to accept applications from UK residents.
Enhanced DBS checks for working with vulnerable adults (formerly called criminal records bureau checks) which we will organise (no cost to this) and two references are required.
For any roles involving driving Archway Friends, we will need to see evidence of insurance and driving license as well as MOT and tax documents for the vehicle to be used.
We will happily cover out of pocket expenses (eg mileage or costs for coffee out with Archway Friend).
We provide training relevant to the roles as well as ongoing supervision, guidance and support for all volunteers.

HEAD OF HR & VOLUNTEERING (REMOTE VOLUNTEER ROLE)
Build the backbone. Shape the culture. Power the movement.
Urban Youth is a start-up fast-moving, street‑level start‑up charity bringing high‑impact, urban-style youth work to London. We don’t sit in offices waiting for young people to come to us — we drop into the heart of the city, transforming unused spaces into hubs of creativity, connection, and opportunity.
But every movement needs structure. Every crew needs a culture. Every launch needs someone who can build the scaffolding behind the scenes.
We’re looking for a Head of HR & Volunteering — a founding volunteer leader who can design our systems, shape our people experience, and build the volunteer-powered engine that makes Urban Youth unstoppable.
Your Mission
You’ll be the architect of Urban Youth’s internal world — the person who builds the infrastructure that allows our street-level work to thrive.
You will:
Design and implement our HR systems, processes, and policies from the ground up
Build a volunteer programme that feels energising, inclusive, and purpose-driven
Lead our volunteer recruitment strategy, working with our Volunteer Coordinator

Develop onboarding, training, and support pathways for all volunteers
Create simple, effective frameworks that help a start-up charity move fast without losing heart
Work closely with the leadership team to prepare Urban Youth for launch and long-term growth
This is a rare chance to build the foundations of a charity before it takes off.
Who You Are

You might be:
Someone who loves structure, clarity, and good organisation
A natural community-builder who believes in people-first leadership
A champion of positivity, fairness, and continuous improvement
A creative thinker who enjoys designing processes that actually work
Someone excited by the idea of shaping a charity’s DNA from day one
Above all, you believe that people are the heart of everything — and you want to build a place where volunteers feel valued, supported, and part of a family.
Why This Role Matters
Urban Youth is volunteer-powered at its core. The systems you build will shape:
How volunteers join
How they’re supported
How they grow
How they feel
How we deliver high-impact youth work across London
You’ll be setting the tone for an organisation that moves at the speed of the street — bold, agile, and full of heart.
This is a founding leadership role. A legacy role. A chance to build something that will outlast all of us.
If you want to help build a charity’s entire people ecosystem — and shape a culture rooted in hope, energy, and community — we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now and become the backbone of Urban Youth.
