We currently have a volunteering opportunity in the Brent Honeypot Lane area for a Volunteer Befriender at our supported living service for vulnerable adults with a wide range of support needs. If you have a couple of hours to spare and can commit to volunteering on a weekly basis, we'd love to hear from you.
Are you a warm and chatty person, who's also a good listener? Are you looking to help someone gain confidence and engage with the local community? Maybe going for walks, or, trips to a local café. Can you commit to learning Creative Support's Safeguarding Procedure and be able to implement this if needed? We are looking for a reliable, enthusiastic, caring, supportive person who can join us as a Volunteer Befriender.
As a volunteer with Creative Support we offer training for your role, access to a volunteer supervisor, an induction, a monthly volunteer newsletter, and an online volunteer's peer support group.
Preferred hours per week/time commitment: 2 - 4 hours, flexible on day and time
Volunteer duties:
• To provide a befriending support, listening and talking in a non-judgemental friendly way.
• You will be aware of Creative Support's Safeguarding Procedure and be able to implement this if needed.
• Encourage the service user to access the community, go for a tea / coffee, café or walk.
• You will need to be consistent with days and times, and liaise with staff for any changes.
