* be part of a friendly team of like-minded people

* most importantly, make a huge difference to children within your local area

About volunteering for the schools service:

Our volunteers visit local primary schools twice a month and run our age-appropriate Speak Out Stay Safe workshops.

You’ll work alongside other volunteers to make sure at the end of each session the children feel empowered and know who they can speak out to if they are worried.

When you volunteer with us, we'll be here to support you throughout. You’ll get lots of initial training which includes practice sessions, home study and multiple visits to schools to help you learn how to use all of the workshop materials.

When you start delivering the sessions, support will be on offer from both your supervisor and other experienced volunteers.

* passionate about helping young people and children
* great communication skills
* empathetic and perceptive
