Join Manuel Bravo Project as a volunteer
We are pleased to announce that Manuel Bravo Project has started recruitement for a number of new and exciting volunteer roles.
If you are interested in any of these roles or want more information, click on the name of the role or email us at: [email protected]
Triage Volunteers
Triage volunteers are part of our outreach advice service. They triage referrals to the service, get people to the appropriate advisor and signpost people for other support. This role can be carried out remotely but it is useful to have a Leeds or West Yorkshire connection and be able to travel in for volunteer meetings.
Support and Empower Volunteers
This role involves giving additional support to our most vulnerable clients through their legal process. Time commitment can vary from a brief phone call once a week to intensive support at crucial times (such as around an appeal hearing). The role is focused on emotional and practical support and keeping the client informed and helping them understand the process.
Monitoring and Case Study Volunteers
This is a new role assisting us to pull together information that helps demonstrate the difference we make, the need for our services and also the issues faced by our clients. This can involve meeting with or calling clients at the end of their case to get their feedback on the process and put together a case study, and / or recording and analysing data from casework and outreach and presenting it in an easy to read format. The time commitment is flexible and can be arranged between the volunteer and staff overseeing.
Communications Volunteers
We need communications volunteers to keep our website up to date, our social media active and regularly updated, and to develop newsletters for volunteers and supporters. The time commitment is flexible but social media needs weekly input. The role can be carried out remotely although it’s useful if you can visit the office from time to time.
Interpreter Volunteers
We need volunteer interpreters to help clients access our services. You’ll need to be able to speak English well, and the languages of any of our clients. We accept applications from all languages, but in particular, we are looking for:
- Amharic
- Tigrinya
- Oromo
- Kurdish-Sorani
- Dari
- Pashtu.
As a volunteer interpreter for Manuel Bravo Project, you’ll also help Positive Action For Refugees and Asylum Seekers’ (PAFRAS) clients.
We work with PAFRAS to recruit and train volunteer interpreters for both organisations. By applying as an interpreter to either organisation you are applying to join both.
Learn about PAFRAS.
Fundraise for us
The more people who fundraise for us, the better. We’re so grateful for any donations, big or small. It all makes a difference.
Anyone can fundraise for us. You could get friends to sponsor you to run a marathon. Or have a tasty bake sale at work. How about trading birthday gifts for donations?
Whatever you decide, we’d love to hear about it. Get in touch with our team and we’ll let you know how you can send us your fundraising money.
