General and Helping

There are no specific skills required! This role is open to anyone with a spare room in their home (or a sofa bed for a shorter stay) and the ability to welcome a refugee or asylum seeker in need into their homes. Additional information, preparation and support will be given about the role before starting. All guests, hosts and households are different and there is no magic ingredient to a successful placement. In our experience, empathy, courtesy, common sense and good communication go a long way to making sure that guests and hosts get the most benefit from a placement.

- Practical way of helping a refugee or person seeking asylum, providing a safe space to stay and supporting them on their journey to more secure accommodation. - Being on a national network of hosts, ready to help when needed. - Option to be part of a Refugees at Home hub to share experiences and connect with fellow hosts.

Hosting can vary from a few nights to several months and anything in between. Hosts decide how long they are willing to host for.

Further location details may be provided below.

This role will be carried out from your own home. If you live in or near a city please apply.
