Volunteer positions:

Kalayaan is currently looking for volunteers for three roles mentioned below. If you are interested in applyng for these volunteer positions please email your CV and a brief description of why you are interested in the particular role to our email address (click here). We are able to reimburse reasonable travel expenses within London. Kalayaan does not have any offices outside London.

Advocacy Support Volunteer

Migrant Domestic Workers that register with Kalayaan often speak very little English, do not know their way around London or are simply anxious and don't understand UK systems. They often need support with very practical issues such as going to the police station to report their passport stolen, going to their embassy to make a new passport, going to a solicitors appointment or some emergency accomodation.

Kalayaan has a team of very dedicated advocacy support volunteers and we are recruiting again to add to this number. The next training and induction session for advocacy support volunteers will be on 24th October in the morning. Download the role description to see if this is the right volunteer role for you.

Adminstration/Office Support Volunteer

As with any small charity, one of the ways you can be of most help to Kalayaan is by giving you time to help us with administrative tasks and general support to the office. This would be the ideal volunteer role for someone who is interested in getting experience in the voluntary sector, has excellent organiatioal skills and a lot of initiative. We would require a committment of 2 or 3 days in the office per week for a period of not less than three months so that both Kalayaan and the volunteer get as much out of the volunteer role as possible.

English Teachers!

If you have a TEFL, CELTA or similar ESOL teaching qualification and want to volunteer your time, we promise this will be one of the most rewarding volunteering experiences you could have. Migrant domestic workers registered at Kalayaan are isolated in their employer's private household. Coming to English class on a Sunday gives them time out of their work place to meet friends and importantly, learning English dramatically reduces their vulnerability to abuse and exploition. If you can volunteer on sunday for a period of 6 months to teach English we would love to hear from you. Download the role description to find out more.
