London Community Coordinator at Our Second Home

The UK's refugee youth movement needs a London Community Coordinator to lead and grow our London Hub.

Our Second Home (OSH) is a youth movement that empowers young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds to build community, develop leadership skills, and flourish into adulthood. Every year, thousands of young people arrive in the UK seeking safety. We believe in their potential and are driven to help them thrive.

Our residential experiences often begin this journey, creating space for friendships, confidence and belonging. We run a nationally certified Leadership Training Programme and regular Youth Hubs in London and Bristol that offer year-round support and community.

We are now recruiting a London Community Coordinator to lead and grow our London Hub – a welcoming weekly space where young people come together to connect, learn and lead.

Our values

• Young People at the Centre – Their creativity and determination guide everything we do.
• Acting With, Not For – OSH is a community built by staff, volunteers and participants together.
• Leadership – We create opportunities for young people to step up and grow.
• Freedom and Acceptance – We build open, respectful and lasting relationships.
