New Zealand Red Cross (Rīpeka Whero Aotearoa) is a humanitarian organisation dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable people. The Refugee Support Volunteer programme provides practical, friendly support to former refugee families as they build their new lives in Upper Hutt.

This volunteer opportunity involves joining a small RSV team to help a former refugee family with practical tasks as they settle in Upper Hutt. The typical commitment is one to four hours per week, spread flexibly, with a higher commitment expected during the family's first three weeks. Comprehensive training and ongoing support are provided.

What you'll bring:
• Warmth, cultural awareness, and strong interpersonal skills
• Flexibility across the week to support the family's varying needs
• A current driver's licence and knowledge of the Upper Hutt area

You might be a great fit if you are:
• Patient, resourceful, and genuinely motivated to help others
• Curious about other cultures and committed to inclusion
• Reliable and consistent over the settlement period

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