Jobs

We’re hiring a Fundraising and Development Organiser to lead on Xenia’s income generation as we grow our work to enable more women than to connect, share and learn.

We can offer regular freelance work at approximately 8 days per month at £165.50 per day. Hybrid working in our Hackney office and online remotely.

This role is right for you if you have a strong desire to work in a non-hierarchical setting, have a good understanding of migrant women’s lives, and an unwavering commitment to equality and inclusion. You will have experience of raising funds from varied sources, with excellent communication skills that are adaptable to different people and situations. Most of all, you will be excited by the work that Xenia does.

We are open to hearing from candidates on an ongoing basis, so if you are interested please send your CV to Makena on welcome@xenia.org.uk. We will then be able to share a full role description and more details about the opportunity.

Voluntary work

English speakers & learners: Xenia is largely run by people who give their time free of charge. We prefer not to have “volunteers” and “beneficiaries” as this creates a power dynamic that we would prefer not to emphasise. Anyone who identifies as a woman can come along anytime- everyone has something to learn and everyone has something to teach!

Facilitators: We do have a team of facilitators who help to run each session- if you want to become a facilitator please get in touch with us via our Contact page, or come along to workshop in Hackney.

Child care volunteers: We are looking for people to look after children during our workshops. This is an essential part of making education accessible for the women we work with. Find out more here and get in touch.
