Volunteer Entry Into Service (EIS) Engagement Punjabi Speaking
Join to apply for the Volunteer Entry Into Service (EIS) Engagement Punjabi Speaking role at Change Grow Live.
Change Grow Live are a charity dedicated to the belief that we can make a difference to our service users' lives, offering support and respect in a safe environment, treating each user as an individual and working with them to find the right treatment and care options. Our core values are ‘be open, be compassionate and be bold’, and our team members apply these daily to achieve our mission of helping people change the direction of their lives, grow as individuals, and live life to its full potential.
RISE (a consortium led by Change Grow Live, including Central and North West London NHS Mental Health Trust and service user-led organisation Build on Belief) is the integrated end-to-end treatment and recovery service which offers a wide range of pharmacological and psychosocial interventions to Ealing residents 18 years and over. A new RISE Primary Care Assessment Team (PCAT) has been formed to navigate Ealing GP and hospital patients who are not currently accessing structured treatment but with concerns around alcohol and/or illicit drug use into RISE and provide psycho-social interventions within the primary care setting.
We therefore have an opportunity for a Punjabi-speaking volunteer who has the skills and experience to assess and engage with our service users, ensuring that they access the right intervention at the right time, in a way that best meets their needs.
You will work as an integral part of the multi-disciplinary team of Recovery Practitioners, Doctors, Nurses, Psychiatrists and Psychologists, to deliver high quality provision from point of entry into RISE.
The team is peripatetic rather than hub based, so all team members work in a variety of venues, including GP Surgeries, Substance Misuse Hubs and Home Visits.

* Providing support to team members with screening, assessment, pharmacological support, psychosocial support - cognitive and behavioural based interventions, motivational interviewing interventions.

Qualifications
* Punjabi-speaking; able to engage with service users from Punjabi-speaking communities.
* 18 years of age or older to be considered for this volunteering role.
* Subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
You will need to work flexibly across the local community with hours to suit service need.
