About us
The Refugee Council is the nation’s refugee charity. Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain. Born in the aftermath of World War II, our frontline services support over 14,000 refugees each year to find safety, get to know their neighbours, and enter education, training or work. We share our evidence and expertise with policymakers to help build integrated communities where everyone can contribute.
Our Values
Our values underpin everything we do:
- Inclusive: We are inclusive. We work with - not for - refugees and people seeking asylum, so they have an equal voice, co-producing projects and ensuring their expertise and experiences are at the heart of what we do.
- Collaborative: We are collaborative. Working with others is a priority in order to have the collective impact that is vital to achieve policy and practice reform.
- Courageous: We speak out when we see injustice, cruelty and unfairness. We always stand up for what we believe is the right thing to do to transform the experiences of those seeking protection in our country.
- Respectful: We are respectful of all those we interact with. We treat everyone – our staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, partners and people we disagree with – with the same respect, professionalism and understanding.
About the role
The ESOL Tutor will deliver English language lessons to Afghan refugees, supporting them to develop the skills and confidence needed to integrate into their communities.

Role description: You will work with local residents to continue our community engagement work, empowering residents to bring about positive change for North Leatherhead and facilitating their engagement in decisions affecting the local area.
Pay and hours: £16 an hour. 15 hours per week, with occasional evening and weekend working.
Contract: 6-month contract, initially.
Location: LCH, Kingston Road, Leatherhead. KT22 7PX. Not suitable for remote working.
Context:
North Leatherhead is in the top 5% most deprived neighbourhoods in Surrey, with one of the highest concentrations of foodbank use in the county and healthy life expectancy rates that are, on average, seven years lower than in South Leatherhead. A listening exercise by Mole Valley District Council highlighted the lack of community provision and the damaging impact of the closure of the children’s centre and other community buildings in recent years.
Leatherhead Community Hub (LCH) opened in March 2022 as a dedicated community centre in North Leatherhead. LCH provides opportunities for people to come together socially and build community, as well as giving partner organisations a permanent base from which to offer vital support. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming space at the heart of the community, where people of all ages can connect, learn, have fun, and find the support they need to thrive. The Hub attracts around 3,500 visitors a month to our community café and the many other community activities run by LCH and other local groups.
One of LCH’s core values is to be community-led, and we are always looking for opportunities to take on board people’s ideas and develop their gifts. Last year, we set up a non-contact boxing project and we have plans for a new football project, in response to parents’ concerns about the lack of provision for children and young people. Responsibility for both projects is being handed over to local residents.
Role description:
You will be responsible for listening to, engaging with and empowering local residents to facilitate positive change in their community, with the following specific objectives:
· To establish a residents’ panel (or similar), giving local residents a greater say in decisions affecting local community.
· To organise an Annual General Meeting (or similar), ensuring that LCH is accountable to the local community.
· To carry out a community survey (or listening exercise) for North Leatherhead, to increase our understanding of the concerns and hopes of local residents.
In addition, we would like to explore ways to increase ownership and involvement of local residents in all aspects of the running of LCH. You will be employed by LCH, using the Hub as a base for networking and capacity-building, whilst also reaching out to other sections of the community. This role will require you to have a regular presence at LCH and in the wider community.
Requirements of the postholder:
Essential:
· Excellent listening skills – friendly and approachable, with the ability to connect with people from a wide range of backgrounds and make them feel supported and valued.
· Experience of volunteering and/or working in a community setting.
· Strong organisational, time management and IT skills.
· A positive and creative approach to work – able to handle new or competing demands and work on own initiative without close supervision.
· A willingness to work flexibly, including occasional evening and weekend meetings.
· A firm commitment to the vision, mission and values of LCH.
Desirable:
· Good networking skills and experience of working with other organisations to achieve positive change for the community.
· An understanding of the principles of asset-based community development and other participatory approaches to community development.
· A proven ability to motivate and support people to use their strengths and skills for the benefit of the wider community.
· Experience of carrying out community research and/or grassroots organising.
· Experience of living, working and/or volunteering in the local area.

Macular disease is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, with around 300 people diagnosed every day. The Macular Society is the only charity determined to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease with world class research, and the best advice and support.
To support people affected by macular disease now, the Macular Society provides a range of support, information and services. Our research programme is focused on finding new treatments and a cure to beat macular disease forever.
We’re looking for someone who can lead on community engagement across Wales – helping to grow and strengthen our local peer support services.
