We hope you have had a restful summer. English classes will return on Wednesday 4th September.

This is an exciting opportunity to manage a long established and highly valued service for asylum seekers and refugees.

You will be responsible for organising and leading the effective and safe running of our weekly drop ins creating a space where people from different backgrounds experience a sense of community, belonging, loving friendship and acceptance which embraces religious and cultural diversity.

You will lead on the delivery of the project’s strategic goals, adjusting to the ever-changing climate for refugees and asylum seekers. This will involve working closely and collaboratively with other refugee agencies, community groups, and statutory sector services. You will have a key role in exploring and securing funding for the project. Whilst this is challenging, we are a well-respected service and have been a going concern for over 20 years.

You will manage, motivate, and co-ordinate a small staff team as well as our fabulous team of dedicated volunteers.

The post is open to people of all faiths and none willing to embrace a shared ethos of treating people with compassion, dignity, and respect. This is a permanent contract for 21 hours per week (Mondays on site, remaining hours can be worked flexibly consistent with the needs of the job).

Closing date for applications: Midnight on Sunday, 30 June 2024.

Interview dates: Thursday evening, 11 July and Tuesday afternoon, 16 July at Christ Church, Armley Ridge Road, Leeds.

We are delighted to share the news that we have been successful in securing a grant from the Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund, delivered by The National Lottery Community Fund. This will help keep the project doors open for the rest of the year!
