Places of Sanctuary Ireland wishes to recruit a part-time Sanctuary Ambassador Coordinator for a new position to work to recruit, equip and empower Sanctuary Ambassadors to share their stories, cultures & skills in schools, universities, libraries, local councils and other community settings. Sanctuary Ambassadors are people with lived experience of immigration and international protection in Ireland. They are committed to building bridges between refugees and Irish communities, and thereby reducing the risk of divisive stereotyping and spreading of misinformation. 

Places of Sanctuary Ireland (PoSI) is a network of groups and local communities which share the objectives of promoting a culture of welcome and inclusiveness  across every sphere and sector of society in Ireland, so that wherever people seeking sanctuary go they will feel safe, find people who welcome them and understand why they are here, and have opportunities to be included in all activities.

PoSI works through community groups, schools and higher education institutions, faith groups, libraries and other organisations in the belief that these newcomers have a huge amount to offer Irish society.  We want to ensure that their voices are heard and that their skills and talents are given an opportunity to flourish for their good and for that of Irish society as a whole. 

For more details and conditions of employment please see attached Job Description.

Candidates with lived experience of the International Protection Application process and/or Programme Refugees are particularly welcome and encouraged to apply.
