Portsmouth, United Kingdom Rural Refugee Network Full time

**Terms**:
3 years contract, part time 2.5 days a week (18 hours a week)

**Salary/rate**:
Pro rata of 28K per year

**Requirements**:
Working days: Mondays, Tuesdays (including evening work drop-in from 5pm to 8pm) and Wednesdays. In addition, one Saturday a month and a yearly 3 days residential.

**About us**:
RRN assists newly arrived refugees from countries, such as Afghanistan, Sudan, Ukraine and Syria, to resettle in local communities in Hampshire. Our trained community volunteers support their transition to independence by assisting them to build their knowledge and understanding of life in the UK. We help nurture a sense of belonging and support them to build social connections.

**About the Youth Discovery project**

In 2021, RRN initiated the South Downs Youth Discovery Project, which takes young asylum seekers and refugee youth (‘looked after’ by Hampshire County Council and Portsmouth City Council) into the countryside. This enriches their understanding of the UK’s natural environment and in so doing, helps them relax, have fun, practice English, meet friends and learn more about life in the UK. The project aims to help participants experience and understand the local landscape and to feel more confident, empowered and settled.

RRN has now secured 3 years funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. This allows us to expand the project not only to include more young people but also to offer a weekly evening drop-in at All Saints in Portsmouth (Tuesdays 5.00pm to 8.00pm), a variety of monthly day trips (on Saturdays) and an annual residential to venues beyond the South Downs National Park.

The drop-in will be a safe place, offering social and cultural support in addition to practical employment and further educational and ESOL teaching support. The weekly sessions will aim to support the young peoples’ transition into adulthood in the UK and to help foster their sense of independence, confidence and self-worth. The activities are needs-led so that we can adapt and respond to young people’s diverse backgrounds, unique attributes, and desired goals.

**About the role**:
The postholderwill be responsiblefor planning, organising and facilitating the drop-in sessions, monthly outings and the annual residential. The Youth Worker (YW) will ensure the delivery of high-quality service as set out in the ‘activity plan and outcomes framework’.

The YW will help the young people to build their confidence and life skills in line with the project proposal and set outcomes. The YW will develop trusting relationships with the young people and empower them to engage with the project.

The YW will be responsible for supervising the volunteers, ensuring that they are clear about their roles and expectations.

**Responsibilities**:

- Planning, organising, and facilitating all the project activities for young people
- Integrating feedback from young people into future sessions
- Ensuring that project planning is an interactive process
- Actively involving young people’s participation to ensure feelings of ownership of the project.
- Helping to identify outside facilitators to deliver specific sessions (such as First Aid course) and ensuring their integration into the project
