Job description

Role context

Hi there, we’re a charity called Local Welcome. We support local people in joining together as a team of Leaders in order to run Local Welcome meals in their local area on weekends.

Local Welcome meals are open to all - they’re the sort of places where strangers become friends! Some group members will have been born in your local area, some new, some seeking sanctuary, or refugees. 

As a member of the Leader team, you’ll be supporting your group in cooking and eating a delicious meal from scratch. No cooking skills are required - our simple recipe steps have that covered!

The commitment

Location

In-person.

Voluntary

This is an unpaid role.

Time commitment

4-6 hours per month - this includes 4 hours leading on the day of the meal, and a couple of hours of prep and organising which is split between leaders before and after the meal. Depending on your leader team’s capacity, it’s possible for a very busy leader to arrive on the day and lead with only a small amount of involvement before and after.

Responsibilities

With the support of our small staff team, and the Local Welcome leader handbook, you would be working with your fellow leaders to:

  1. Organising and facilitating monthly meals in your local area
  2. Coordinating practical elements of running meals as a team - e.g. deciding what to cook and organising the grocery shop before the meal, ensuring the meal runs smoothly on the day, and sharing feedback with our staff team afterwards
  3. Completing your own safeguarding training and a disclosure check. This includes committing to keeping everyone in your group safe by reporting any concerns accordingly on an ongoing basis
  4. Keeping in touch with your fellow leaders and the Local Welcome team between meals - e.g. to share your availability for the next meal
  5. Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for your group members and fellow leaders

Support from Local Welcome

  1. Safeguarding training tailored to Local Welcome meals
  2. Regular check-ins, support and guidance from the Local Welcome team - including an on-call staff member available for any support during meals
  3. Access to our leader handbook, which contains resources and materials for setting up, running and growing your group
  4. A Whatsapp group to connect with the Local Welcome team and fellow leaders
  5. Opportunity to connect with a network of Local Welcome Leaders across the UK

Membership

Membership is for everyone who takes part in Local Welcome meals, whatever role you play on the day!

Everyone has the option of attending their first meal as a newcomer (for free). Afterwards, we’ll invite you to sign up as a member of your local group.

We ask our members to donate what they can afford to help us cover the costs of running monthly meals. Donations also help us keep free spaces available for group members who can’t afford to pay, and helps us become more financially resilient as an organisation. 

Learn more about membership on our website.

Experience and skills

We’re looking for leaders who believe in our mission, vision and values and are committed to helping us live up to them. 

Broadly speaking, our leaders are ‘help to organise things’ type people who can commit 4-6 hours monthly, and enjoy working in a team.

We believe our groups are at their best when our Leaders have a mixture of identities, skills, personality types and life experiences, so everyone can play to their strengths and bring something unique to the table. Unlike other traditional ‘leadership’ settings, the leader role isn’t simply for those who can speak the loudest!

In particular, we’re keen to find Leaders who have lived experience of forced migrations, who are people of colour, people who are LGBTQ+, people who have a disability and people from working class backgrounds.

Most importantly, all leaders must respect and value people’s differences and be committed to helping Local Welcome to be an inclusive organisation.

Values

Our values are not just a set of nice words we stick up on the wall, they are very important to us and we gently hold ourselves and each other accountable to them every day.

  • Build open, honest and diverse relationships
  • Deliver joy through service
  • Think big and act long-term
  • Be creative and take risks
  • Grow and learn
  • Have compassion and fun
  • Build diverse supportive teams
  • Eat together
  • Tell the truth
  • Be humble
