Join to apply for the Befriender Volunteer role at Creative Support
We are currently looking for volunteer befrienders at our supported living service in Blackburn for adults with mental health needs. If you have a couple of hours to spare and can commit to volunteering on a regular basis, we'd love to hear from you.
Are you a warm and chatty person, who's also a good listener? We are looking for befrienders who can help someone gain confidence and engage with the local community. The role can involve meeting regularly to have a cup of tea and a chat or maybe going for walks, trips to a local café, or, supporting somebody to attend their appointments.
We can be flexible on days and times in line with the needs of our Service Users.
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 support network group on Zoom.
Volunteer Duties
* Meet on a regular basis
* Follow safeguarding procedures, and report any concerns
* Develop a friendship and enjoy conversations together whilst respecting boundaries.
