Get Involved & Support the Lincolnshire Refugee Doctor Project
We greatly appreciate the kindness and dedication of people like you to keep our refugee doctor programme running. We’re in need of medical professionals, language tutors, and social mentors, see details on these roles below.
If you’re passionate about supporting refugee doctors in the UK, there are many ways to contribute. Join us in offering practical help, career support, and a welcoming community for refugee doctors rebuilding their lives.
Join our team!

English Language Volunteers
To be able to comfortably study medical English, with a view to passing the Occupational English Test (OET), doctors should ideally be at least a mid-B2, or ESOL Entry Level 3 level of English and will work towards a C1 level in order to meet the minimum score of B in the OET exam.
Some LRDP members need extra help with their general English skills, to work towards achieving the required proficiencies recommended for the exam.
English Language Volunteers work with these doctors and help them to improve their general English, on a 1-2-1 or small group basis. This is conducted usually online, but there may be some opportunities for face-to-face sessions.
There is also the opportunity for LRDP volunteers to take part in the OET Preparation Provider training programme – which could lead to a career teaching this high-stake exam. Experience of teaching English as a second language is desirable, but not essential.

Bank Clinical Tutors & Mentors
We’re looking for doctors and other professional colleagues to support refugee doctors personally, in their professional work, and in their career development. Almost all of our programme members will not have worked in the NHS before, and their experience in their home Countries may not have prepared them for working as doctors in the UK. We are looking to recruit Clinical Tutors and Mentors to help with some teaching, with group discussions, OSCE practice, exam preparation and other related support. If you are interested in joining us, please contact us

Social Mentors
Where appropriate and dependant on local housing and employment opportunities, LRDP can help support programme members and their families to relocate to the areas we cover. As part of this, social mentors will provide mentees with social support that promotes their success on the LRDP Programme. While clinical guidance and support will be provided by medically trained practitioners, the role of a social mentor is to be a source of wider local and regional information and guidance, sharing knowledge of local services and activities, and playing an important role in supporting integration within the local community.

Donate to help support our work
LRDP receive lots of support from people who give their time to volunteer with us but for those who cannot but would like to make donations to support our work, please just use the donate button at the top of each of our web pages to give through our GoFundme page. All of you donation will go towards supporting our programme members and their families. We are extremely grateful for your support.
