About Sunrise Diversity
Sunrise Diversity is a charity dedicated to ending discrimination and creating connected, inclusive communities where everyone feels like they belong. For over 10 years, we have grown from a volunteer led community group into a trusted organisation, led by the voices of the diverse people we support. We provide safe, welcoming spaces, classes, advocacy, and social opportunities that help people build confidence, reduce isolation, and strengthen relationships. By celebrating diversity and challenging discrimination, we aim to create communities where every individual is welcomed and supported.
Our new five-year See Me project, funded through a long-term grant, allows us to expand our work across Northern Devon, particularly for migrants, refugees, LGBTQ individuals, and others facing social or geographic isolation. The project strengthens connections through ESOL English classes, safe spaces, social opportunities, and advocacy, while working with local authorities, partners, and volunteers to embed inclusion across services and community life. Joining Sunrise means contributing to a team that helps people connect, grow, and belong, making rural communities more equitable, welcoming, and supportive for everyone.
About The Role
We’re excited to announce that Sunrise Diversity is recruiting as we expand our work through the See Me project, thanks to 5 years of Lottery funding. Our roles are key to helping us grow our charity, develop new programmes, and increase our capacity for community work. The post holder will deliver 1-1 support and advocacy to people from diverse groups such as migrants, refugees, the LGBTQ community and those who face discrimination or barriers to accessing services due to protected characteristics. You will be supporting a small number of clients who have more complex needs and require extra support to get through difficult situations, alongside providing a drop-in service to people who need shorter term support such as form filling. You will provide support relating to issues such as housing, benefits, employment, hate crime reporting, safeguarding concerns and accessing rights and entitlements.
Why Join Us?
- A flexible hybrid working model
- A supportive, inclusive and values driven culture
- A chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of local diverse individuals
- Excellent annual leave with additional leave over Christmas, and pension.
The role will be hybrid working from our Barnstaple office, offering competitive pro-rata salaries, holiday, and pension benefits.
