As a not for profit organisation, we are committed to using our assets and resources to develop positive opportunities for the people we support. By volunteering with us, you can help us to achieve our goals, ensuring opportunity, choice and wellbeing for all our service users, whilst gaining skills, knowledge and experience in social care provision. We recognize and appreciate the important contribution that volunteers can make to the services we provide and ensure that, as a volunteer, you receive quality support and personal development through our established process of induction, supervision and ongoing training.
What do our volunteers actually do?
The duties and areas of work our volunteers are involved in vary from service to service and day to day. Your responsibilities might include taking on a befriending role towards specific service users, sharing skills with service users in leisure activities and training or informal learning situations, providing particular services to the agency itself (e.g. translation, IT support, legal or financial knowledge, etc.), contributing to specific events (e.g. exhibitions, forums, conferences, open days, etc.) and assisting staff in their day to day work with service users.
