Activities Coordinator
Asylum Link Merseyside (ALM) is a small charity operating in Liverpool and the wider City Region, working with approximately 2500 Asylum Seekers and Refugees each year. We provide a broad range of services for people in the Asylum System with other specialist services working alongside us at the St Anne’s Centre.
Asylum Link Merseyside ALM is looking for someone experienced in working with Asylum Seekers, who has good local knowledge of Arts, Sporting, Environmental, or other activities where Asylum Seekers can participate or volunteer.
The coordinator will have responsibility for a range of activities run by ALM which either promote wellbeing, have a volunteering element, or both together.
Part of the role is funded through the ‘Action Asylum’ (AA) project, a national scheme to promote opportunities for asylum seekers and local people to volunteer together in their communities.
The primary purpose of the Activities Coordinator role is to provide support and direction to teams of volunteers who then undertake the delivery of all the projects. The coordinator needs a comprehensive understanding of how all the programmes are delivered and must be able to brief volunteers or step in on delivery where there are gaps.
The role requires the knowledge and ability to engage with local organisations to develop opportunities for Asylum Seekers to participate in projects outside the Asylum Sector.
The post is fixed term for 1 year with the intention to extend. The salary is £27,500 per annum pro rata (3 days/week) to be worked flexibly.
