Context of the role.

About us.


Upbeat Communities was founded in response to the needs of refugees arriving in the UK and the stories they shared of their lives and their journeys.

Through building relationships with those from refugee communities we were able to identify their needs and the best ways to respond.


One of the best resources a refugee can have to help them settle in their new home is a good social network.

Relationships and connectedness can help overcome the many challenges faced by those seeking refuge. With this aim, we want to help connect refugees into community.


Our name reflects our vision to see thriving, positive communities where refugees can contribute and make the most of opportunities.

We greet new arrivals with our

Welcome Boxes befriending

project. We offer free

English classes and

community activities to help refugees (adults and children) integrate. We empower refugees to rebuild their lives through

Host Derby (temporary accommodation),

mentoring (careers guidance) and the

UK Refugee Resettlement Scheme, which local authorities contract us to deliver. We also empower the local community through awareness raising.

Our organisational values, lived out by our staff and volunteers, are:

We work to

WELCOME.

We create

COMMUNITY.

We are inspired to act with

INTEGRITY.

We exist to

EMPOWER.

We are committed to

CREATIVITY

. We run on

RELATIONSHIPS.

We are proud to be

PROFESSIONAL.

We have

COMPASSION

at our core.


Upbeat Communities' Christian ethos is the driving force behind why we were started and the basis for the values that we hold as a charity.

Jesus's primary message was 'to love your neighbour as you love yourselves'.

We seek to embody this by showing love and compassion to refugees who have been displaced by war, conflict or persecution.

Many of our team are Christians but we are eager to build a team that is representative of the diverse nationalities, faiths, and life experiences of the communities we work with.


Main duties and responsibilities:

  • Promoting and publicising Host Derby
  • Recruiting and training Hosts for both schemes with support of volunteer coordinator
  • Liaising with Resettlement team at Derbyshire County Council and local referral agencies in Derby
  • Collating and managing referral database
  • Maintaining records, compliant with GDPR
  • Facilitating introductory meetings with Hosts and Guests
  • Facilitating regular placement reviews with Hosts and Guests
  • Monitoring progress of placements and troubleshooting when needed.
  • Communicating with active hosts weekly
  • Supporting Guests to engage with activities at Upbeat Communities.

Person Specification:
