Our mission is to welcome asylum seekers and refugees in and around Leicester, and support them to rebuild their lives, develop their skills and feel part of the community.
Leicester City of Sanctuary is looking for a CHIEF OFFICER
Following receipt of a 5-year National Lottery grant, we are looking for someone to take on leadership of our small staff team and brilliant volunteers as we continue to welcome asylum seekers and refugees in and around Leicester.
The ideal candidate will have experience of strategic oversight and delivery of services within the charity sector and of managing a team. We are looking for someone with personal commitment to our work and the people we do it with.
This post is full-time - salary £30-33k (depending on experience)
We offer a range of vital services and wider enrichment opportunities to asylum seekers and refugees: a central Hub with welcome, support services and lunch, ESOL classes as well as exercise and textile sessions.
Our services run five days a week, supporting around 150 people each week. Services are delivered by a team of volunteers. Our service users are the lifeblood of the charity and we could not run it without their help. Around half the volunteer team running the drop-in at the Hub are asylum seekers themselves.
