At Young Roots, we want to see a compassionate and welcoming society for young refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. We work alongside young people seeking safety in the UK, building trusted relationships, providing practical and emotional support and promoting young people’s rights and power.
Our youth clubs and casework are transformative for young refugees, allowing young people who have fled danger, had traumatic journies and who are often here alone, to find community and connection, have a space to be a young person and access support in addressing a whole range of practical challenges they face. We also draw on our evidence from working every day with young refugees and asylum seekers to call for change to the laws and policies which are harming young people.
In this important role you will support our Head of Finance to ensure that the finances of Young Roots are managed effectively and efficiently. Responsible for the day to day processing of financial transactions, while ensuring compliance with Young Root’s policies and procedures, you will ensure that staff and trustees have accurate information to monitor our income and expenditure.
