New Zealand Red Cross (Rīpeka Whero Aotearoa) is a humanitarian organisation dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity. The Refugee Support Volunteer programme provides friendly, practical support to former refugee families settling around Wellington.

This volunteer opportunity involves joining a small RSV team to help a former refugee family with practical tasks as they settle into life in Wellington. The time commitment is typically one to four hours per week, though during the initial three weeks a higher commitment (around eight hours per week) may be needed. Hours are spread flexibly across the week based on your availability. Comprehensive training and ongoing support are provided.

What you'll bring:
• Warmth, cultural curiosity, and strong interpersonal skills
• Flexibility across the week to support the family's needs
• A current driver's licence and willingness to travel within Wellington

You might be a great fit if you are:
• Warm, patient, and genuinely interested in different cultures
• Reliable and adaptable across shifting practical needs
• Motivated by making a lasting difference in a family's new life

Training Provided: Comprehensive training and support provided by NZ Red Cross.
